The strawberry season is in full swing. The crop looks great this year and the berries taste great (trust me!). Though we had some cold weather this week that caused a frost situation in some areas of WNC, the crop looks great and berries are abundant. Check out the Hendersonville Times-News article about the strawberry crop in Henderson County, Plentiful Crop has Henderson Growers Smiling.
