Strawberries are giving me the berries!
 

:pissed:
Have any of you noticed how crappy the strawberries are in the supermarkets? Dey look great....but they taste like cardboard dipped in red dye.
What happened to the strawberries that are grown in real dirt, in the ground, with blemishes and odd shapes BUT are red through out, sweet, juicy and great smell. At this time of year I like to make strawberry ice cream, daiquiris and preserves. But I ain't gonna use that garbage they selling in the stores. I might have to resort to buying from one of those road side pick-up trucks that advertise home grown....anybody have a good source?

.....and I might add the dang peaches you gonna see in a month...looks great but just as soon eat a ball of cotton. What ever happened to good produce?

rant over!

I believe laffy has a good farmers market right? Or try that Whole food knock off place at river ranch.

LAfayette is gettting a Whole Foods by target on the southside sometime this year. The old Winn Dixie I believe

This I agree with, I bought some the other day, grown by the Liuzza Brothers in Ponchatoula. I slice some, add some yogurt and granola cereal, sprinkle a little sugar on the and they GTG.

Them road side stands are the way to go if you run across some.

Bought some south of Forrest Hills saturday and they were turrible. Betta tassem first.

When I lived in Laffy we used to get all Veggies and Fruit at Fresh Pickins on Kalliste Saloom. They used to be real good. Wish we had one in LC.

Bought the last pack from Fresh Market...La grown...awful. I really believe they pick them green and die them! Red outside but white and mealy inside. Gonna be traveling near Ponchatoula tomorrow, see if i can find some real ones.

Last year and before the Fresh Pickins' had great strawberries. It must be early for field grown and what we're gettin is those hot house berries grown in sand and liquid goup.

Rouses got good ones. Look up Robin Farms on Facebook. They sell at a acadiana farmers mkt on Forman a couple times a week too

Gonna try that route, thanks Bob.

Ponchatoula strawberries for sale by the flat on Amb Cafferey in front of Pearson's Luggage. They sure look good!!

Fresh Pickens is still the ticket, they carry a lot of local stuff. It's fresh, on point, and you get to support local folks! I love that place, and now they take debit and such.

don't have that problem too much I can get Ponchatoula strawberries on the way home from a fishing trip.

Try maybe the mennonites around deridder. There is also a farmer market north of dry creek I forgot the name I will try to get it but they've always had good fruit and vegetables.

I've heard good things about the LC farmers market. You should check it out.
