Emma Kahlig, 11, at left, and her sister, Eva, 8, on Thursday choose ripe red strawberries in a patch at Jutte's Farm along state Route 49 in Fort Recovery. The girls' brother, Tyler, 5, in the background, chose his own row. It was the first day of the season for "pick your own" berries. Owner Oscar Jutte said the weather, so far this year, has been favorable for a good harvest. The public is encouraged to call ahead at 419-375-2304 for strawberry picking dates and times.
