They grow on plants...





With all the produce we have been getting, I want the kids to know how we really get food - since they know how we really get milk. :) I went online (pickyourown.org) and found a farm where we could go to pick strawberries. Thank you Maryanne for the inspiration with your pear canning last year! It was a 45 minute drive to this little patch of grass in the middle of Arlington. We got buckets and set off to work! Ben had a blast while Emily screamed the majority of our adventure. The day was overcast and misty which made the sugars in the strawberries melt - as was explained to us by the farmer. Good thing Ben wore his gloves!
