Local Strawberries

Northern California is blessed with good weather, nice cities and still close to the agricultural areas.

Watsonville, slightly north of Santa Cruz, is one of the areas that produce the best strawberries. Cool in the morning and evening, sunshine during the day, fertile soil and close to the ocean; these factors make Watsonville ideal for strawberries and artichokes.

Aren't these strawberries inviting? They are picked in the morning and available in farmer's markets or roadside stands around 10 am. They are not only eye candies, they are also candies for the taste buds.
