The local berry patch used to be kept pretty nice, but that was back when the old man who started it was healthy, but he died a few years ago, and his heirs haven't kept it as nice, lots of tall weeds in them.

Used to have a couple strawberry farms just across the border that had beautiful strawberries, but last I knew as of a couple years ago, it got to the point where you could only go pick just a couple days a week because somebody got a contract for most of the crop, so they picked them and sent them on their way. I imagine there is money in this, but I think strawberrys is an awful lot of work.
