Strawberry Picking @ Hydroponic Farm

In the beginning of August, we ventured out to Chemung, NY for a day filled with fun. We started the day off at a hydroponic strawberry farm. They were currently having a raccoon infestation, so they were closed. They let us in because Mommy was friends with the owner...we had the whole place to ourselves!!! The way the farm is set up is awesome, there is no dirt (even on the ground), each stand turns and there's is almost no bending over!


Mom's good friend Shannon came with us.

The kids picked lots and lots of berries...the #1 rule was to cut the plants with scissors (so they wouldn't pull the whole plant out).

We managed to collect 2 full buckets of strawberries!!! Yummy!!!

The fruits of our labor!

Yum!

Double Yum!!!
