Strawberries grow well in Northern Wisconsin and we spend time near a great berry farm. You can purchase for $20 a bucket or pick your own for $12. We took the gang at the cabin and made short work of picking. I designated myself the documentarian.

Lindy’s Berries Facebook page – an interesting site offering daily updates of interest to those wanting to pick their own or to those wanting a short-season job picking berries. The pay is $4 per bucket and a 5 hour work day.
I grew strawberries as a kid in our home garden. There is a lot of work and the process takes a couple of years. Picking weeds out of a strawberry bed led me to believe purchasing berries at the store was the way to go. I have no idea why their fields have so few weeds. I am guessing the following is year-one – no harvest the first year.
