My mom, sisters, brothers and I foraged for wild strawberries last week of June, first week of July every summer in Maine fields.
While raising my young girls, I'd pack our old chevy C-10 pickup with lunches, insect repellent, plenty to drink and drove off the beaten path on washboard dirt roads to places I would not dare to today. It was hard work but so appreciated in winter.

Thank you so much Patrick! Your comment is immensely appreciated. #11991864Dolores Neilson August 12, 2022
Thanks Judy! There was ONE lone strawberry at the nursery...sure brought back memories. Spent countless hours picking growing up. I still forage but those are beyond our "reach". It's a 12 hour trip to return for a picking session. ha ha #11991867Teresa Burnett August 12, 2022

Hi Teresa! Thank you! Yes, the wild fraise des bois is a taste experience one never forgets. We loved them with simple milk poured over with a pinch of s sugar. What I would give for that taste again! #11991988Dolores Neilson August 13, 2022
