One of the things we love most about Southwest Michigan is Spring and early Summer is the abundance of fresh fruit to be picked from the surrounding local farms. One of the farms we went to was the local Stover's farm where we picked cherries and strawberries. We went to drastic measures to pick some of the cherries as I threw Gretta up on my shoulders to get some of the very ripe cherries high up on the trees. Gretchen was very "country" and made us a fresh strawberry pie to enjoy. We decided that it's amazing strawberries aren't double the price in the grocery store given how slow and painstaking the process is to pick them. But, there are few foods better in life than freshly picked (and ripe!) strawberries and blueberries.
