friday field trip
It’s prime strawberry picking…that’s what the recording said when I called Jones farm to find out if strawberries were still in season. That’s it then, I decided…I will pick strawberries for my Friday field trip. Gee, I can’t even remember the last time I was in a strawberry field. I took my kids to pick strawberries (more like ‘eating’ strawberries) when they were small…those trips were all about the children having a good time and about providing them with a learning experience.
This time, my trip would be a solitary one. I headed out to Jones Farm in Shelton, CT, a 400 acre farm run by the fifth and sixth generation members of the Jones family.
Under no pressure to pick any certain quota of strawberries (heck, we have a fridge full), I spent my time at the farm really enjoying my surroundings…
And, I found a new ‘go to’ recipe for strawberries that is certain to replace the standard shortcake recipe for me – different and delicious. I have included it here for you…complements of Jones Farm. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

YUM! those strawberries look great!!
Isn’t it wonderful to be able to take some time for yourself, just enjoy the surroundings and relax! Looks like a beautiful sunny day and the strawberries are ready for picking. Thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday at A Pinch of Joy. Hope to see you again soon!
Thanks Charlene :)
