From Farm to Jar: A Cross Continental Odyssey

This is a story of how berries from Dempsey Farms of St. Helena's Island, SC 

journeyed to western Los Angeles to become awesome Strawberry Jam.

The U-Pick strawberry field.

Severo gets his bag and bucket for picking.

Into the field with Mom and Severo.

Severo and his first berry.

Severo in the field.

I refused to pick berries. I sketched Severo in action instead.

Another action sketch.

"I'm done."

Hulling the berries for that night's Strawberry Shortcake and for freezing.

For freezing, berries are spread on a tray. After they are frozen, they are packed in a zip-lock bag.

During our trans-continental flight, the berries thawed, so I made Strawberry Freezer Jam.
THREE batches! So yummy!
