June means a lot of different things but one of the more tastier things it means is strawberry season on Eastern Long Island. For the month all of the farm stands in the area offer tasty berries to locals and visitors alike.
I think we all get so used to California strawberries found in the supermarket that we forget just how good the fresh berries can be. If you head to any farm stand on Eastern Long Island you will most likely find strawberries picked that day that are to die for! And it is pretty easy to find farms in the area, especially on the North Fork, so just look for one while you are driving.
Fresh berries are delicious on their own but they also are quite yummy covered in chocolate. Just like plain strawberries are easy to find in the area so are chocolate covered strawberries. Most candy shops you find will sell chocolate covered local berries. There is also always the option of buying berries and covering them in chocolate yourself if you have the space to on vacation. I prefer doing my own just because it's a fun experience and you get to eat some extra chocolate in the process.
If you happen to take your vacation to Eastern Long Island in June just make sure you find a farm stand to stop out and buy some of their local strawberries. I promise you will not regret the decision to buy some of the best strawberries out there while they are in season!
