In our neighborhood near this avocado grove, you'll find a huge farming operation of strawberry growers. Since the season is over now, there has been a tractor and a water truck on the land preparing the soil. Soon they'll be laying down the water pipes and the strawberry planting begins again.

Farmer's have lots of faith and they work so hard in the fields. They get the job done! It will be worth the wait again, longing to enjoy this wonderful fruit again. Do you like strawberries? WE sure do!
