This afternoon Stefan and I made it to pick strawberries right before it started to rain. I'm always surprised how many we walk away with - and how inventive I have to get to use them all. Right now I am thinking we'll be having strawberry margaritas and perhaps trying strawberries with balsamic, which I hear is delicious. What's also surprising is that 2 large bowls of strawberries only cost 6€! 
We saw some interesting things in the field - Stefan tossed me a heart shaped strawberry and he spotted conjoined (or mating) may flies. My favorite finds were the strange shaped strawberries - one even looked like a star. 
If you live in the Munich area, you can find nearby fields at Erdbeerzeit in München. This website also lists nearby fields for raspberries and blueberries as well.
I have a feeling we'll be checking those out soon!

What fun! Fresh picked strawberries are the best! Was this place far for you guys to go?
Allison - you have to check around Stuttgart. You might be surprised. Our strawberry patch was only about a 10 minute drive from us.
I already want to go back and pick more - it's such a fun weekend activity.
Such a cute photo of you!
I went with my little son. He had picked up the biggest he could find and I, the funniest ! The multiple ones like the one in your picture !!!
Caitlin - you're too sweet.
Catherine - I am so happy that you also went. They were so delicious... even with strange shapes.
