Strawberry Picking

On the first nice weather day in 3wks we took full advantage. We decided to go strawberry picking! Southern Comfort Berry farm is located about 20 minutes from our house so it was a quick trip to get some great fresh strawberries right off the vine. It is basically a house with a small berry field and some animals! It was a nice fun trip out of the house!

Than and Leighton worked together to pick most of our berries. Oliver rode in the ergo the whole time so it was hard from me to pick but I did pick a good amount also! The rain had ravaged the plants but there were still some good berries to be picked.

Our rubber boots were key since the place was so muddy it has been so nice to have them around here I think I couldn't live w/o them!

Altogether we picked just over 2lbs from two different varieties of strawberries, my advice is to use them the day you pick them or freeze them! We were first timers and since the berries were so damaged by rain they went bad by 2days later...we didn't get to eat all of them. Oh well we know for next time!
