May is the month for strawberries in VA!
Last year we combined strawberry picking with our Memorial Day outing to Bedford for the service at the D-Day Memorial. This year I found out about another farm and we opted to take a Friday morning trip- leaving a long weekend to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
These photos are from Joe Motley's farm. We were well pleased with the size and condition of the berries. My helpers were even better than last year (not so many green and white berries this year!). We started with T on my back, which worked well, and when he was ready to stroll around we already had several full pails so B was free to supervise. We picked 27 pounds of sweet, red berries and enjoyed a few in the field, too.

yum, yum! i am thinking about venturing out and picking some. i heard a recommendation for Scott's Orchard. have you been there?
Is that an "Ultimate Baby Wrap" you're wearing Tate in? If so, do you like it/have used it much?
I'm wondering if you plan to make jam for wedding favors for your sister's wedding?!!MOM
Try roasted strawberries in balsamic glaze!
Whoa tasty stuff :)
I like Mom's idea. :)
Questions and Answers: Scott's was good, but pricier and farther away. Tate is in a really long piece of fabric that I bojangled around me. I WOULD make wedding jams if that was requested. . . or at least I'd pick and clean tons of berries and make jam with HELP. I'd like a recipe for roasted strawberries, Josh!
