  • /

Who else in the world would have a strawberry hotline other than Jerry and Nancy Suter?

You don’t need to call the hotline yet. Here’s a progress report on those red juicy fruits that will soon ripen in a field on Bixel Road between Bluffton and Pandora.

Jerry says that although earlier this month the ground temperature hit around 29 degrees he’s confident that strawberries will be at the red Suter Produce stands by early June.
