Debbie Wilsdorf is an avid gardener with many years experience in fruit preservation and cooking. She and her daughter operate a U-pick berry business on their family farm in northern Missouri. Since the initial planting of strawberries in 2005, they have added blackberries, raspberries, and garden produce. Recipe cards are offered with each fruit purchase and they are frequently asked for additional cards as well as tips on handling and using fruits. This book was written to provide the types of information frequently discussed across the counter at the Wilsdorf Berry Patch. In addition to blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, Debbie has experience growing, harvesting, processing, and using all of the other fruits included in this book.
