Jan's Strawberries, U.S. 70 east of Smithfield


A few Sundays a month, I head down to Goldsboro for church, and lately, I've been stopping at Jan's Strawberries (also calling themselves the Corner Market), on U.S. 70 eastbound at the intersection with Steven's Chapel Road, a few miles east of I-95 and about midway between Smithfield and Princeton. They've got real tasty, picked that day strawberries. You can't compare what you get in the supermarkets with fresh picked fruit. The fellow behind the counter says they're getting a second crop in a week or two, the first time in twelve years they've had a second crop. He didn't know why this year's special.
