It's Strawberry Season! There is nothing quite like the taste of a fresh picked strawberry! The strawberries you'll find at the Abingdon Farmers' Market this season have been fully ripened on the vine, picked often just hours before market, and travel less than 15 miles! This ensures the most nutrient-dense and flavorful strawberries you can buy! Take some home this week, and enjoy a fresh spinach salad. Recipe courtesy of What's Cooking America.
