We are lucky enough to live near a farm/orchard that has many types of U-pick fruit. I found out yesterday that the strawberry fields would be open until July 1. I asked my strawberry loving daughter if she wanted to get some and she jumped at the chance.
We took a hay wagon to back of the farm where the strawberry fields were located. I tried to take a picture on the wagon but every time I would try we would hit a big bump. I have 3 pictures like the one above. LOL!
We had a very large area where we could pick from. There were a lot of people there but you can not tell from this picture. There was another entire field behind where I was standing, and most of the people were in that field.
This berry was enormous and a funny shape. We had to pick it because it was so funny looking and biggger than 2-3 other berries put together.
We ended up picking just under 5 lbs. U-pick prices were comparable to a good berry sale at the store at $1.75 a pound. We are going to go back later in the season to pick cherries, blueberries and apples.
If you have a farm nearby but have not tried to pick your own you should give it a try. Not only does it teach younger kids where food really comes from, its fun and you save money in the process.
