We went strawberry picking Saturday evening. This time we tried out a new place we found in the newspaper. It was a little farther a way then were we normally go, but so much nicer! It turned out to be an old order Mennonite run farm and the woman there was so nice. She made us and the kids feel so welcome and invited us all to eat as much as we wanted. As she said it’s the best part of berry picking lol. So many berry picking places make families with children feel unwelcome. And it’s so sad to, after all they may like to snack but they are the next generation of berry pickers! If they have good memories of going out they will be back with their children later.
We’ve taught our children not to eat until after we’ve paid for the berries but it was really nice to be able to relax and let then snack a little bit after the nice woman told us to go a head.
The price was great to, just .90 a pound. That’s way cheaper then any other place we’ve been to before.
The girls were great helpers and we all picked 67 pounds of strawberries! I’m going to be very busy the next day or to canning and freezing all of them up.
Here are a few photos of the after picking faces lol.
   And here is the 67 pounds of berries, yikes lol!
 A close up, yummy.
