Strawberries anyone?

Talk about living the dream. I just spent a few days on the farm with Dakota, enjoying the endless curiosity and energy of her two years and our shared love of the strawberry patch. I cannot describe how beautiful it is to simply walk outside to an endless, organic snack supply. She matched me berry for berry (her parents are convinced she eats her weight in strawberries) but thanks to Tommy and Tricia's growing skillz there were still plenty left for the shareholders who arrived Tuesday afternoon to collect their veggies and pick their own berries. This week's share included kohlrabi, spring turnips, bok choy, butter lettuce, basil, cucumbers, radish and of course the greatest berry known to humankind.

"Doubtless God could have made a better berry (than the strawberry), but doubtless God never did." William Butler

Amen.
