SONOMA COUNTY, CA. ~ Every morning we pick an en- tire bowl of straw- berries


from our garden. Besides


being a power-


ful anti-


oxidant and a great source of vitamin C, manganese, dietary fiber, and more, they are a very versatile fruit. We eat them raw in fruit and green salads, make our


favorite low-sugar jam,


freeze them, pop them into smoothies, make ice cream,

can do for your


country.


Ask what’s for lunch.”
