Strawberry Fields Forever

All season I’ve been wanting to take my kids to a local strawberry farm and pick our own berries. After several weeks (and weekends!) of non-stop events and end-of-school activities, this past weekend we finally had our chance. While the unseasonably cool weather has kept us away from most of our summer staples like our daily swimming pool trips, it was just perfect for a day picking strawberries! Each of the kids had their own pallet, and it of course turned into a race of who could pick the most.

The staff at Wohletz Farm Fresh were friendly and greeted us with big smiles! Once we arrived and grabbed our pallets, they led us to a section of the strawberry patch that they blocked off just for us. The kids had so much fun digging through the plants to find the ripe, red berries (the redder, the better!). I think they would have stayed all day if I’d let them. Although the strawberry picking season is almost over, I would definitely put this on my to do list every May. The team at Wohletz told us this week would probably be the last week for picking, so if you haven’t been out yet, get going! You can check their Facebook page for updates on when the patch is open to guests.
