Last week we had a little fun picking strawberries and even more fun filling our bellies. Our trip was not without toddler tantrums and strawberry stained clothes, but we still left happy with lots of strawberries.
Winsley ate half her weight in strawberries right there in the field. That's the
real reason to pick your own strawberries, right?
We ended up with a few bruised strawberries and I will definitely go earlier in the season next time to get the best of the batch (This is the last week for strawberry picking in our area).
It is truly a joy to share this experience with my little ladies and I am so happy that we live so close to so many farms. We even discovered that this very farm (
Page Farms) will be growing blackberries soon.
My tummy is already growling with anticipation.
What grows in abundance where you live? I am so eager to check out other farms in our area after discovering that blueberry season starts next month!
so awesome! :) i miss going strawberry picking in GA. i don't know if they have strawberry farms in nevada.. it seems like all desert.. but i haven't really tried looking. also, would love for you to join in on the local adventurer's link up (but no pressure!) :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been apple picking or strawberry picking, or anything picking for that matter, but I've always wanted to go. Unfortunately I don't live near any farms right now... Maybe I'll have the chance to take my daughter someday! Your photos are really making me want to go :)
ReplyDeleteAw, these photos are soooo cute! I love strawberry picking and think it's such a fun tradition for you and your littles!
