Picking Strawberries

I found out a farm near us Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, MS is starting to have you pick fruits and vegetables. Our plan is to one day have a garden of our own to pick from but until then we are glad to have a farm near and gain ideas!
This time is Strawberries
Heading out to the strawberry fields. Reid was none to happy about the hay in his flip flops!
Ready! Set! Pick!


Fresh on the plants!
Tayler filling her basket and Luke filling his cheeks in the back. ;)
Shonna and Luke
Luke wasn't a big help on filling up baskets he was to busy eating all he picked, and eating from the baskets that were already full. My kids were happy to help out and fill the Viners baskets!
Lukes' Sweet Strawberry Face!
Luke had trouble finding finding the ripe ones at times, so Reid shared his supply. He was so sweet saying Mama don't worry I gave Luke some ripe ones!
Joshua and Reid filling up their baskets.
We could not believe the difference in fresh and store bought. I still had a few I had bought from Sams a few days ago and Tayler said that they had turned bad and we couldn't eat them. They really weren't bad, we just didn't realize how they are supposed to taste naturally.
Bren found a good one!
They were so juicy they squirted when we bit into them.
I love this one of Tayler! Brenden did a great job toting the baskets and picking even though he is not a strawberry eater.
Riding back on the wagon, while eating our pickings of course.
Our Strawberries all 7 lbs. of them!
