I'm a simple emigrant, and the strawberry season has finally come to us

Late spring — early summer is the best time to enjoy large, local, very tasty berries, which I personally am really looking forward to, occasionally buying beautiful but tasteless strawberries — you never know, maybe I’ll get lucky! By the way, it’s also the season for asparagus and flowers. How can you make any meal even tastier? Right, by realizing that it’s your own merit. Of course, I don’t have a place to grow strawberries, but you can pick them. Near Frankfurt there are several farms with publicly accessible fields of this berry, where anyone can come and pick as much as they want. For example, some of them: ▪️kinzigheimerhof.de ▪️obsthof-am-steinberg.de ▪️pauls-bauernhof.de ▪️bauer-wuerfl.de ▪️schelmenhaeuserhofgut.de I went to the last one, about 20 minutes by car from my home, and most importantly, the site says that the fields are not sprayed with chemicals. This matters because the rules are: you can come with your own container, you can buy one on site (a cardboard basket like in the photo — 1 euro), after entering the field you can pick berries and nibble a bit, as you understand, it’s desirable that there are no chemicals on them. When you exit, everything collected is weighed and paid for (according to the rules, you must buy something; you can’t just come, eat and leave), but the price here is good, about 3.5 euros per kilogram, whereas in a store you can buy half a kilo for that much, and if you buy in the city center at special stalls, you can pay even 5 euros for 500 grams. In less than an hour I picked about 4 kg, I could have picked more, but I was afraid it would go bad. Not even a day passed, and I already treated friends at my home, made a pie, which we happily ate at two in the morning, and in the morning I also brought another whole tray to other friends for the road, and the fridge is still half full, but I think it won’t last long! And do you like strawberries? #useful
