Learning as You Go...

Ah, so it's really best to take orders before you pick, instead of picking and then trying to sell stawberries by the pail.  They are so ripe, they are perfect, and I've gone through and frozen all of the ones that weren't 100% solid -- the skin thin, as if they're on Coumadin, ready to stain your hands.

But there is definitely a shelf life to fresh-picked strawberries.
