A Locavore's Christmas

Today is the Day! It is official! Winter is over, spring has sprung and the first major crop of Local Produce has arrived. We received 50 Cases of hand picked Locally raised Strawberries from Ward's Berry Farm in Sharon MA. They are dense, almost heavy, sweet gems of flavor! Don't wait, as the forecast of rain for the next fews days could have an adverse impact on this preciously short season. Get them now, while available!!!!
