One of my favourite childhood memories is that every summer, my grandmother, mom, sister, aunt and cousins and I would all go strawberry picking.

Growing up, my grandparents had a farm in Creemore, ON that was kind of like our family’s cottage. The entire family was there every holiday, and for most of the summer. Even though my grandmother grew practically every fruit and vegetable you could think of herself, we would still make a trip to the strawberry patch nearby to pick buckets upon buckets of strawberries.
