We went this morning to pick strawberries. It was insanely crowded (workers said they had never seen it so crowded). I can only imagine it’s because there seem to be a serious dearth of places to U-pick in Colorado. We had to wait a very long time to pick because there was a tractor pulling you over to the berry fields and they only had 2 in rotation.

They also got a store where You can shop for other stuff that did not come with the share. For example, grassfed steaks, goat milk soaps and cosmetics, dried fruits, fruits, vegatables and herbs that in season. You will find quite a bit of variety over...
