A year ago a friend of Sarah’s was moving and she a few strawberry plants she was willing to give us. What started out as eight plants half dead in the hot Ugandan sun has turned into a little business. Those plants have blossomed into the Williams’ Strawberries Ltd. Our garden is overrun with those tasty little red guys. Our guard who had never seen strawberries until now, thought we were a little crazy at first, but is now part of our little venture. Strawberries our a hot and rare item here. The last time I saw strawberries here they were flown in from Italy and did not look good at all and certainly the price was not good either. About five minutes from our house there is an American Recreational Club that holds a garage sale like event once a month. We have begun to sell Sarah’s homemade strawberry jam, fresh strawberries and basins of strawberry plants. Last month (our first time out) we made about 150 dollars in a few hours and sold out on almost everything.

Mmmmm...those strawberries look so yummy! What a fun thing to do as a family:)
$150, that must've just ROCKED! Did you do some sort of celebration dance or jiggy jig. I know you did!
Looks like your family is doing well. Loved the strawberry patch story! Well done!
Hello!!!! This is Becky! I know, it's been like 15 years! Remember flag football in the dark? hmmmm.
Mom shared your blog with Brenda and I. I'm super excited to read about your exciting lives. The strawberry thing is so cool. Who would have thought that strawberry jam making would come in so handy?
