Default How to pick good/ripe produce (fruits and veggies)


Here in the Mid-Atlantic, Florida strawberries are the sweetest but
aren't here very long before the California supplies take over. They
aren't as good.

It shocked me yesterday to read that Sarasota, Florida farmers are
ploughing under their strawberry crops because the price is so
disastrous. I know our local market is carrying them 3 pounds for $5.
Not much profit by the time it gets back to the farmer.

Sad, when Florida had such a cold winter and many crops were
threatened.
