Local strawberries are now available in grocery stores, and local markets. The fresh sweet smell of a strawberry is like no other. Biting into that first juicy bite is just so good.

We eat strawberries from the grocery store during off seasons, but they are nothing like local, in season ones.

There are so many places to go and pick your own local strawberries as well. Some local farms and markets even let you bring your own containers to reduce packaging.

What is your favourite strawberry recipe? My favourite is Christina Tosi’s recipe for Strawberry Shortcake. It is beyond amazing and if you haven’t tried it, you need to. Happy strawberry season!
