It's Finally Canning Season in the Mid-Willamette Valley

It's that time of year again. The canneries in and around the greater Salem area are about to open their doors to seasonals to come in and package strawberries and other early fruits. In roughly one month from now every cannery will be bustling with activity as the new-hires come on. Strawberries are already being picked on local U-pick farms such as Fordyces' near the Willamette Valley Fruit Company. Speaking of which, the Willamette Valley Fruit Company is giving free slices of pies to Dads for Father's Day. Have you tried their Forestberry Pie yet?
