It's that time of year again, and Tim and Bonita Myers, owners of The Strawberry Patch, have already seen the traffic. Although sales were inconsistent during Masters week, Tim reported already selling more than 20,000 pounds of strawberries, and the recent freeze has not slowed them down. The Myers welcome everyone to come and pick their own strawberries, but hurry because U-Pick ends May 10.
