I've been munching on fresh strawberries from the
WEE RED BARN on SH2 just north of Masterton for the past few weeks since they started harvesting them around Labour weekend. Their strawberries are to die for (as is all of their produce).
And I just had lunch with my sister at the 10 O'clock Cafe Bakery today (she was passing through enroute to Hastings) and she picked up a couple of large punnets of Wee Red Barn strawberries from their stand in Masterton across the road from the cafe. Naturally we sampled before she bought.
And the Scottish lady at the strawberry stand said they will be harvesting raspberries from tomorrow. They grow all of their berries beneath weather shades and the strawberries run from October right through until late-March/early-April. Their blackberries will be available shortly too.
