10 min. Make a well in the center of the batter
mixture. Add heavy cream. Stir 10 times. Add
strawberries and stir 5 more times. Turn flaky
dough out onto a floured surface and knead 3-
4 times. Lightly flour the top and roll out to

cutter or glass. Place on a baking sheet. Bake
until lightly browned, about 15 min.

drizzle over the tops of the biscuits. This
gives a little sweeter taste.
Or, brush with melted honey or honey butter

Produce Availability Service to Growers
NC Strawberry Growers,
NCDA is aware that farmers have seen disruptions in their normal distribution during this period of COVID-19 and social distancing. Retailers have seen panic buying patterns and are challenged to keep produce in stock and merchandised. If you are a NC grower of produce and looking to sell products that you don’t have a market for, we want to know. We will be compiling information, from NC growers, to distribute to major retailers on a weekly basis. This is not to be used as an alternate for markets that you already have. This service is set up to help those who don’t have markets to sell what they would normally. Call us weekly to update your availability and be listed in the distribution. This service will last until we no longer see a major need from the growers or interest from the retailers. Please open the attached letter to see all relevant information.
The contact for strawberries is myself, Christina Harvey. My work number is 984-302-2310. If you are a grower who does not have markets to sell what you normally would, please reach out.
Thank you and stay safe,
Christina Harvey

NEW COLORING BOOK! In 2018, the Marketing Committee developed a new edition of our “Strawberry Time” coloring book. The new book is the same size, with the same number of pages, but features a brand new full color cover. It tells the story of the strawberry plant from fall planting to spring harvest. The book now includes pages that encourage handwashing before picking fruit in the field and washing fruit before eating it at home. Also tips on how to pick strawberries were added. Each page has new black and white drawings to color and the activities in the back of the book are all new as well.
