Father's Day means Fresh New York State Strawberry Shortcake!

SANBORN, NY (06/14/2011)(readMedia)-- The many growers of fresh New York State strawberries wish to thank each Dad out there for his many hours of often silent sacrifices that each of you make. The New York State Berry Growers Association thinks an excellent way to say thanks to your special Dad is to travel out to your local farm stand or berry patch and gather up some sweet strawberries to make your special man a strawberry shortcake to top off that special back yard barbeque!

Strawberries are at their very best right now. The warm sunshine and ample rains have helped this crop swell to sweet success.
