Summertime Strawberry Picking!

As the weather heats up and the days turn long and sunny, some of Michigan’s local produce are showing their first fruits. One of my favorites among these are strawberries! There’s a lovely strawberry patch called Honey Bee U-Pick, located at 5700 Scio Church Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103, which allows you to go out and pick your own berries! My wife and I brought our one-year-old son and he loved picking and eating the strawberries. By the time we left is face was covered in red! The strawberries are so sweet and juicy, and they have a beautiful deep red shine. We took home a few pounds of strawberries, using some to make homemade strawberry jam, yum! Strawberry season just closed for the year, but raspberry season opens up in August. Check it out if you have a chance!
