It's Almost Fujii Time

4The farmer's roadside stand for Fujii Farms at the corner of Troutdale Road and SE Stark Street has the 'help wanted' up. Roadside produce season will commence soon ...

The last two miles of SE Stark Street are a curious thing. Along the north side, east of Troutdale Road, is a tract of berry field that still grows berries and various produce for the legendary Fujii Farms concern; it's an echo of what must have obtained all along Stark east of Portland before sprawl took over. 

I remember eating a raspberry that my wife gave me when we stopped there one very warm summer day last year or maybe the year before.

The sweetness of that berry was culinary poetry.
