Strawberries


In 1958 5 acres of strawberries were planted off of Barber Pond Road and behind the farm house. They were all planted by my grandfather Charles Bishop as a retirement project. A little stand for selling them stood on Barber Pond Road. It had a large sign with a strawberry painted on it at the top of the stand. I sometimes sat in the stand and sold berries, being a child at the time I relied on customers to figure out how much to pay. There was also Upic and my father delivered them to local stores.
