Brittany Turnage purchases freshly picked strawberries from produce vendor Andy Cashwell Friday afternoon at Cottle Farms southwest of Goldsboro. State agriculture officials say recent freezes did not hurt the crop and that the season will hit high gear this week and last through May. North Carolina ranks fourth in the nation in strawberry production, adding more than $26 million annually to the state's gross product. To find a strawberry farm near you, go to www.ncfarmfresh.com.
