Strawberry Farms!
This was a fun adventure. We toured this local organic farm and got to taste
fresh vegetables (carrots, green onions) and Strawberries straight from the ground.
I guess they are having a strawberry nightmare this season. Their plants were attacked
by some kind of disease and since they are an organic farm they can't use pesticides
or other chemicals to kill it off. So they have lost over 50% of their strawberry plants this season.
So instead of picking baskets of strawberries to take home -they asked us to pick and eat only
as many as would fill our bellies at that time. And then they gave us a basket of strawberries
to take home with us. They had to purchase these strawberries from another farm because
their supply is so limited. You know it is bad when a strawberry farmer is buying strawberries
from ANOTHER farm. Bummer! I felt bad and did not really want to eat any. Notice how bad
Cheyenne felt..........
Cheyenne likes the Strawberries. You can see all
dead strawberry plants in the background of this
pictures. Sad, huh?
