: Habiba Hussein finishes her morning with eight quarts of strawberries at R. Belanger & Sons Farm on Cotton Road in Lewiston on Tuesday. Farm owner Rick Belanger said workers have been picking berries for about a week and that the pick your own season will begin on Friday. "It’s a short season, about three weeks," said Rick’s wife Lillian. Significant rain fall has not caused problems for Belanger’s berries, yet. "But we can’t get too much more (rain)," said Lillian Belanger. "We need some sun."
