PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM 99 On a sunny day in San Gregorio, couples, young families and groups of friends sneak samples as they fill boxes with bright red berries in Blue House Farm’s organic U-pick strawberry patch. “I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do here,” one novice says hesitantly as she joins her friends in the field. A minute later, she loudly exclaims, “That’s the best strawberry I’ve ever tasted!” And just like that, another person discovers the delicious difference between the supermarket aisle and freshly picked local produce.
