Strawberry Fields Forever

Today our family went on a berry excursion to Mim's. We went to a you pick 'em strawberry farm and wow they are the plumpest and juiciest strawberries.
Here is a shot of four of us looking for the perfect berries to pick. We had so much fun.
Hezekiah enjoyed running up and down the strawberry field forever.
Maggie Beth was officially my best strawberry picker and helper. Doesn't she look so adorable in her dress? Grandma made her dress and sent it to us just before Easter.
Eli informed me of the stages of the strawberry. He held up these weeds and told me how it changed from one stage to another. I did not have the heart to tell him that he had weeds not actually strawberry plants.
These boys are so strong carrying our berries. We ended up taking home four pounds of berries for 8 dollars.
looks like fun, where is the patch where you can do that?
Take I-95 North to Mims Rt. 46, follow East to US 1, then go North on US 1 go about 4 miles and then you turn left on Burkholm Rd. and then you follow to the end of this road and you will see the signs. The strawberry patch is straight ahead. It is Sledd's Strawberries and produce. It is well worth the drive. I think the strawberry season is only in April..the phone number is 321-403-4388.
Oh, I think it is only open for picking on Saturdays and WEdnesdays.
I stumbled across this and this is a beautiful piece. I will definitely mark this on my to do list.
