In case you missed the memo, strawberries are currently in season; and, might we add, very delicious. We checked out the picking action at Apple Hill Farm last week, and let’s just say we expect plenty of pies, smoothies and jams to be made in the not too distant future. Picking times are 8 a.m. to noon, Monday through Saturday, through the 89 Hoit Road entrance. The season runs through early July; and there’s also Rossview Farm, another local pick-your-own spot that can fill all your strawberry needs.
