Fredericksburg - strawberries and lavender

















Becker Vineyards was a wonderful side excursion during a trip to pick fresh strawberries in Fredericksburg; there I found a wonderfully dry rosé made in the Provençal style, unique soaps and lavender products.







The biggest surprise for me was the artichokes growing next to the lavender.


With 3,000 pounds of strawberries ready for picking at Marburger Orchards, this past weekend was perfect for a trip to Fredericksburg.  Three "fields" of strawberries welcoming pickers, big and small.  Over 7 pounds of delicious strawberries for about 20 bucks!
