Steep Strawberry Fields

On my bike ride on Sunday I stopped and bought some strawberries at a road side stall/ cafe.  The  girl in charge was lovely and spoke reasonable English.  She is studying in Chiang Mai to become a teacher.  The land belongs to her family and her mother is in the photo sitting amongst the strawberries. The photo gives some idea of the steepness of the field.  It must be hard work planting and then picking the berries.  Cousin X and Sue have it easy growing strawberries on the flat at Bowman's Forest.
By the way the strawberries were lovely, but expensive.  150Baht which is $5 for a large punnet.  Cousin X's strawberries are a bargain at $2 per punnet.  Hope to be eating them soon.
