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.)
