    The BEST strawberries are grown in the Carolinas.

    I really don't need to say more, but if you are ever in the Carolinas during April and May, you should go out and pick fresh strawberries. They are sweet, huge and full of flavor. Many places will let you eat right there in the field and those are great.
    I have nothing else to say at this time.

      Any special place you go? We were at Hall's Farm over the weekend.

        I'd like to add my testimony to the truthfulness of Parrot Head's words. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the Carolinas produce the sweetest strawberries in the world.

        Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

          McLeod Farms in McBee (That's MAC-bee), South Carolina is a you-pick or we-pick field of red deliciousness.

            What are the best variety that grow in Utah? We had good ones at our old house but our current ones ate terrible.

              Go just over the border into SC to Springs Farm. They let you eat in the field and they charge for a "bucket" so you can pack as many in as you want, not buy by the pound. The store also has strawberry soft serve and peaches when they're in season.
              I have nothing else to say at this time.

                I don't know. In the words of Homer Simpson, I like my beer cold, my TV loud, my homosexuals flaming, and my Carolinas Northern. I just don't trust those folks across the border.

                  If anyone is in Ohio the first week of June you need to make the effort to attend the Troy Strawberry Festival. The strawberries there are wonderful. I think it goes without saying that the fertile soil of the Ohio Miami Valley combined with the hard work and cheerfulness of those who care for the crop make it vastly superior to those berries you find elsewhere.

                    Ohio strawberries! Next thing you know, we'll be hearing about Ohio's quality NFL teams, leading American Idol contestants or magnificent chocolate.
