Berry Patch Dog on Duty - preparing for Festival

The official Berry Patch Dog takes her job seriously and protects each quart as they are picked. With the Strawberry Festival only days away and the berries still somewhat slow to ripen, we have spent the past week filling ready-picked orders, providing berries to the Carousel Winery and letting the fields ripen. Tomorrow we will pick as many as we can find to provide to the Festival for shortcake. Friday we will pick for the Berry competition, some awesome desserts for the auction and some quarts to sell in Chassell. We are hoping to open for self-picking sometime next week. We'll have a better idea on self-picking after Saturday, so check back.
