but we can still buy local strawberries! Yep, halfway around the world in a grocery store in Muscat, they have Driscoll strawberries, grown in Watsonville, CA.
Of course you’d have to pay around $7.50 for only 8 oz of strawberries, but aren’t they beautiful?
The other brand of American strawberries (I have no idea where they are grown) are more white than red and just as expensive. Good thing I ate loads of strawberries while we could still afford them — straight from the fields!
*** This post is mostly for my mom and dad who have friends that grow Driscoll strawberries. Kind of a 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing. 😉
