It's Winter out there - Time for fresh Raspberries!


Fresh from Driscoll's in Watsonville, California, the very best raspberries  I've tasted in the past 40 years, with Safeway's vanilla ice cream - Yummy!!!


Where's Watsonville?  Right about there.... and they maybe should have named it Driscollville. There's Driscolls all over there. One of their places is called 'The Berry Store'......


And this is The Berry Store....that parking lot full of what looks like a row of big filter cigarettes is actually a row of 18-wheelers for hauling the produce in and out. And they also have a website with recipes and all like that, if you just click this link. 

Did I mention that Safeway still has these berries on sale in West Van? 



Here's the farm where my berries were grown. How do I know? There's a code on the label on the bottom of the little clamshell pack they come in, and if you go onto their website and follow the link for finding the farm, you can enter that code into a form, and then click a link which takes you to the farm's page.
Is that a nice touch or what? When these folks say they're the best they aren't kidding - they can prove it.
