THE BERRY COUNTDOWN IS ON! 🍓Strawberry season is so close we can almost taste it, but berries like to keep us guessing until the day they finally holler, "pick me, pick me!"

This year’s cooler spring means they’re taking their (very) sweet time, and the weather over the next few weeks will decide exactly when in mid-June picking will begin. Start checking your favorite berry farm's site or socials for updates. And don't be afraid to call - many farms have a berry hotline with daily updates. ☎️🍓

Where can you get your paws on juicy sweet berries? Find a strawberry farm near you at the link in the comments.

Herb garden incoming! 🌿If you’re planting this weekend, check out your local farmers' market or garden center for healthy, locally-grown herbs. Don't be daunted! You don’t need a lot space to level up your cooking. A patio pot or a basil plant is a great way to get started.

Spring weather is all over the place, but this rhubarb compote works no matter what the day brings. It’s bright, cozy, and delish on pretty much everything. 🥞🍨🤣

Spring is a transition time between cold and warm weather (sometimes in the same day!) and this tart-sweet compote can find away to your table no matter the temperature. Use it to top pancakes, baked French toast, or your weekday oatmeal, add it to smoothies for brightness, or serve it…
