A Berry Nice Day

We visited Tanaka Farms in Irvine for a strawberry picking tour. We weren't sure what to expect but we had such a blast.

Here are the girls waiting for our tour to start. We went early on Easter Sunday so the farm was basically empty. We went on a semi-private tour with another family with two girls the same ages as Olivia and Camille.

We were driven around the 30 acre farm by tractor and we stopped at different areas to sample the delicious produce (snap peas, bok choy, carrots, celery, onions, spinach). Olivia ate so many vegetables that it was totally worth the price of admission. Since it was an organic farm, we could eat the produce straight from the ground. Olivia enjoying bok choy.

She loved the maui onions the best!

Carrots. Wow, organic really does taste better and so does produce taken at it's peak!

Camille is wondering how she can eat this carrot without teeth.

Lettuce. What a beautiful farm.

And now the fun part - strawberry picking. We got to fill up two containers of strawberries and also eat as many strawberries as we wanted on the farm! Woohoo.
