Details taken from the event Facebook page (must order your strawberries here):
Strawberries for sale in Seattle! Pre-order your fresh, local strawberries from Viva Farms. Grown in the rich, glacial soil of the Skagit Valley. They’re packed with so many antioxidants they suck the cancer right out of your body.* Half flats for $12 (that’s 6 pint baskets) Post how many you want here. Order by Wed morning. They will be available for pick up at the new Seven Hills Park at 16th and Howell on Capitol Hill from 6:30pm – 9:30pm. I’ll have a bbq going if you want to bring something to grill and hang out. Message me if you need to arrange pick up earlier in the day. Cash, check or PayPal accepted. Make checks to Santiago Lozano.
Feel free to invite others to this event.
I like to get a few flats, eat enough fresh to give me berry belly and then freeze the rest for smoothies all year. Others make strawberry jam and lavish desserts.
Viva Farms is a project of Grow Food. It is a 33 acre farm in the Skagit Valley that incubates new farmers. Viva Farms makes a special effort to help Latino farm workers who are ready to make the jump to farm ownership. These berries are grown by Santiago Lozano (pictured)

*This statement isn’t true but strawberries are high in the antioxidant ellagic acid.
