There are many strawberry growers in this area so local is easy to find, 
but I don't buy them except on rare occasion.  They are picked to ship 
so they are not as ripe as they should be.  Often, they have white tops.

Occasionally, I will find some that are all read, not perfect but 
reasonably edible.

Bet I used to get from the farmer's market in CT from Rachel's Berries. 
Picked that day, fully ripe, I'd be eating them on the way home.  No 
sugar needed.
