They are the remaining few strains from a small 5 acre farm my folks and grandfolks once had. They are a gourmet variety. But we always have freezer jam year round, how appropriate for us eh? We all enjoyed the visit but it was far too brief! ;) John was keen to see Mt. St Helens, practically in our backyard, but still a days drive to see enough for a good experience. I'm usually always here if not away seeing a doctor or a movie.
