Strawberries! Photo courtesy of David Westerlund

Where do your strawberries come from? In Whatcom County, 300 acres are devoted to growing strawberries. You can go to a U-Pick farm & pick some! Photos courtesty of Curt Mayberry Farms. Contact curtmayberryfarm.com

Lots of the strawberries you can buy in the grocery store are actually grown in California & Mexico. What are food miles? When strawberries come to you from that far, they have to travel on trucks, trains and planes before they make it to your table. Think about how your food travels!

When you eat food that is grown near to where you live, it travels fewer “food miles,” which means less energy is spent on those trucks, trains and planes! Try local strawberries & other fresh, local food this summer! /Fruit-Picking-in-Kansas-City/
