mr. e and i joined the cousins for a strawberry picking adventure.
i brought 2 LARGE containers and pre-bought all the necessary freezer jam ingredients.
i was ready to haul in some serious berries, even with a baby attached to me.
i clean house like a good mexican lady-i figured i could pick berries like them too.
but i am cheap,VERY,VERY cheap.
if i were to fill my 2 large containers with their berries (that i picked- mind you!)
i would have to take a small line of equity out on our home.
you see these folks are charging LOTS of money for you to pick their berries.
and yes they are the best, juiciest,red all the way throughest, tastiest strawberries ever...
but they are cheaper, still not cheap- (8.50 for 3 pints)pre-picked!
that little container i am holding (1.5 pints) was 6 bucks!
6 bucks for ME to fill!
(and you can bet i did try to eat my money's worth while picking)
now if this place happen to be a quaint darling place like hurd orchards
or the people were SUPER friendly then i might be willing to pay a few bucks for the "experience."
but it's a strawberry field overlooking interstate-5 and car country carlsbad
with ms.grumpy pants manning the booth.
we will be buying our strawberries for jam at the farmers market.
pre-picked.
tasty.
and cheap!
