Straw-berries:
clean, mulched strawberry fields, which makes picking a pleasure!

Joshua Johnson grabs a handful of berry.

The strawberry, a member of the rose family, is unique in that it is the

Aren't they beautiful?

Donna is unforgettably gracious and friendly to her customers,
and they repay her by coming back week after week.
