In the small rural town of Athens, Maine- Josh, his mom and I picked a flat of strawberries one July afternoon. We visited Sites Farm which is a cute little family owned farm and the most beautiful scenery! We were told which row to pick on and given a few containers to hold strawberries and started picking! Josh was a good picker because he picked strawberries at a local farm when he was in high school. I tried my best and pretended to know what I was doing the whole time. The strawberries were so cute!! The smaller ones were the best because the bigger ones were usually laying out the ground and had started rotting. I started a system to where I would "sample" one and then pick a few and then "sample" another.....it was a good system! This is one of the many cartons I filled with fresh strawberries!! Josh and I were so proud of our pickings!! Josh's mom and grandma ended up making strawberry shortcake with these strawberries a few days later which was so deli...
