    When I was a kid in the 80’s there was a place my Grandmother used to take us to that had hay rides to take you out into their strawberry fields where you’d pick your own berries and pay like 50¢ per pound.

    Good memories.

      You must mean like 5 or 10 right?

      I can buy strawberries at the store now a days for $1 a pound.

      It’s not common but it’s not really uncommon, maybe once every month or two

        Like much store bought produce, grocery store strawberries are picked not fully ripe to make them easier to transport. On pant ripened most anything will nearly always be better than store bought, but you better be ready to use it quickly.
