Grown by our Grandmother on her home farm outside on New Hamburg. Nearly thornless while producing large, pink, juicy berries. Steph recommends picking the berries when they are just blushing pink and letting them sit in a sunny window to ripen and get extra sweet! You'll know they are just right when they turn a soft red instead of greeny-pink.
