We’ve been salivating for about 3 days now, having driven past the sign on the fruit farm a few days ago, announcing pick your own would be opening for the first time this year today. So after a morning of dancing lessons, we headed there on the way home. This is a great activity for the gang. They are outdoors, they are snacking (constantly throughout the activity) healthily, and they see, on a much grander scale, what we are trying to achieve in our garden. They learn about where the fruit is coming from, and have a lot of fun in the process. Unfortunately for me and my wallet, it can be quite pricey, as I let each one take a basket to fill so they each feel in charge and control their experience without interference from the other 2. This also then means we eat a lot of strawberries, constantly, for three days 🙂 I’ll let the photos do the talking about how lovely this trip is for them!! Nothing like eating fruit or veg you have picked and the children love the activity.
