As 6-year-old Joanna Harrelson knelt to pick a strawberry for the first time, 96-year-old Mary Condon was across the field stuffing her shirt with strawberry after strawberry. She was picking them faster than her family could shuttle filled quarts back to the car.

Families and friends took to the fields at Fancy Farms in Plant City Saturday, March 25 for the 10th Annual Hillsborough 4-H Strawberry U-Pick, raising money for local 4-H clubs and area food banks.
