Satisfied Thimble Farm Pickers Find Strawberry Fields Forever

Even though it was raining, the fields at Thimble Farm on a recent morning were being picked by enthusiatic strawberry aficionados and contented workers.

Sandy Mocarski, a customer from Edgartown, was on her knees out in the field. She's been to Thimble Farm "many times over the years, but this is my first time in the rain. It's peaceful, like a treasure hunt." She planned to use her strawberries for a Father's Day cookout off-Island. "I'm bringing strawberry shortcake for everyone. Thimble Farm is wonderful. It's fabulous to have this place on the Island."
