Strawberries in Eugene


I have always wanted to visit a strawberry farm where you can pick your own berries and I was delighted to find out our hosts knew just the place. Our instructions upon arrival at the patch were, "one bucket as full as you can get it is $8. While you are picking we expect you to eat as many berries as you can." My picking style developed nicely... pick three, eat two. Berry picking takes a long time, but it was certainly delicious fun.

My berry picking buddies were Reuben and Nancy Leapaldt, our long-time friends whom we have not seen since 1987. Again, a taste of what heaven will be like... eating strawberry short cake, visiting, and drinking coffee.
