It’s strawberry picking season! This is one of those events where you have visions of this beautiful day, picking fresh fruit with your child. In reality — it is a fun day that maybe also include a bug bite, a trip and fall, and most likely, some sweat! If your child helps you pick the strawberries, the hope is they will enjoy eating them too. Or, in my case, we might need to add sugar and bake them into a pie. Either way, together you are creating this memory that is more than just driving to a grocery store. We like to call these events Forced Family Fun!
Strawberry season can last till mid June. We have heard great comments from a Scoop fan who took her children to Rome’s LLC Strawberry Farm. They opened their 2018 season this week. Call first to make sure they have some for picking, or follow them on Facebook for their latest crop updates. They are cash or check only. They also have the strawberry patch express on weekends for a $1.00 a ride.
