It must of been a bad year for them, and thankfully I only bought one flat, but the strawberries were next to horrible. They were small, with dark spots and did not taste good. I threw away at least two quarts worth that were simply "bad". I will pay more attention to looks and do a "taste test" next year. Considering the weather this year, I'm sure they are not the only farm to experience this problem."
