Strawberry Picking at Adams Farm

We had been talking about taking the kids strawberry picking for a while and met someone who recommended Adams Farm. Adams Farm is about 15 min from our house and it's a U-Pick strawberry patch. The owners were so nice when we got there. He asked Carlo what he was going to pick at the farm and he said "strawberries!" very excitedly. Then he told Carlo that he'd better taste one to make sure they were good. So of course he did and he said to the man "mmm, they're good". So we got our containers for picking and we were off to do some damage to that strawberry patch. We got there around 9am and had picked 9 quarts by 10 am. The kids did a great job picking and we had minimal unripe strawberries picked by Sophia. I was really suprised at the big, ripe ones she picked! I loved doing this with Carl and the kids, just spending time together in nature was awesome! Our friend Becca and her girls met us there and the kids probably ate as many strawberries as they picked.
