Dan and I were just speechless with amazement on Saturday to see all the people who came out after I sent out my e-mail and Facebook plea. It was awesome.
Thank-you and thank-you and thank-you to all the people who responded. We run a strawberry farm, and we could pretend that we are in control of our business, but we aren't. We can control neither supply -- which is weather dependent, nor demand, which is people's schedules dependent. All we can do is try to make the two meet in the middle.
At the end of the day, we had 3 unsold flats, and maybe 3 unpicked rows of berries. Since this has never happened before, Dan thinks he won, but I say it was a tie, because it is better to have a bit left over so that we know that everyone who wanted some, was able to get some, and for once we didn't have to turn people away. Again, THANK-YOU...and keep coming. We'll have berries the rest of this week, but after that they may stop producing as it gets too hot, so get them while you can.
