Late June is fresh strawberry season in Vermont. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture says locally grown berries are ripe and ready to enjoy.
Lourie Mazza of Mazza Farm in Colchester says it's a beautiful year for strawberries. She's reporting a bumper crop in size, color and flavor.
The agriculture agency says shoppers should choose strawberries that are bright red with fresh green caps.
Strawberries do not continue to ripen after they've been picked, so consumers shouldn't buy berries that are partly white and unripe.
Vermont has 90 strawberry producers who grow almost 2 million pounds of berries a year.
