Strawberries are ripening here in the Northwest, so my mom and I took the opportunity to take my niece out to her first ever strawberry pick. We discovered that she loves squishing strawberries almost as much as she likes eating them! Green Bluff is a collective of farmers in an area just outside Spokane that offers you-pick events for berries, peaches, apples and other fruits throughout the year. We were lucky to get a chance at this year’s crop as they lost nearly 60% to a late cold snap. Fortunately it was a hot day here (finally!), and the berries were perfect. We were able to scoop up a couple flats in time to keep the little picker from getting a sunburn.
