Yes Virginia, there are Mississippi Strawberries!

Virginia needs to visit the Mississippi Farmers Market because we've got some of the prettiest, sweetest and tastiest strawberries right off of High Street!

Did you know... Strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside. Strawberries are members of the rose family. Americans eat an average of 3.5 pounds of fresh strawberries each year. Strawberries can be pickled. Indeed!

Be sure to visit Fertile Grounds and Foot Print Farms this Saturday and pick up some fresh Mississippi strawberries!
