The farm (and we) took lots of precautions with U-Pick, due to the pandemic and shelter-in-place orders. Fortunately, when you're in a field, it's very easy to social distance.
After we got home and washed all these beauties, it was time to come up with recipes to use them. We made strawberry bread, strawberry muffins, strawberry cobbler, strawberry ice cream, then ate and ate what was left! The skillet strawberry cobbler came from a Garden and Guns recipe, originally created for serviceberries (what the heck is a serviceberry??), but absolutely delicious with strawberries. It will be my new go-to dessert during berry season.
We love this family farm and can't wait to visit again. Blackberry season should be here soon, then peaches in the early summer. This farm is the last in Georgia to allow U-Pick peaches, mostly because it's not easy work and takes time and (tedious) effort. However, I think it's good for these kiddos to appreciate what it takes to grow all this great fruit they enjoy - so up into the trees they'll go! :)
