Simple Life: Strawberry picking

Last Saturday, we brought my son to a nearby farm for strawberry picking. This was the first time for us to u-pick strawberry even though we had been in Oregon for a while. Usually we got a lot of rain in spring. So instead of picking own strawberry in a muddy field, we usually opt for a easier solution - buy the ready pick strawberry from grocery stores. This year the weather was so sunny and the temperature was just nice for a outdoor event. Most important, the field was dry. :)

We reached the farm around 9:30am and the car park already almost full. We were lucky to get a wagon for us to put our stuffs and have my son sat on it. He thought it was a train and enjoyed the ride. There were two type of strawberry: Hoods and Valley Red. We can't really differential these two species. They are so sweet and fresh. They really different compare to the strawberry we brought from grocery stall. My son couldn't resist and ate a few strawberry as we picked it. We should have wash it before letting him tried but he can't wait.

We picked about 4 lbs of strawberry and each lb costed $1.50. So cheap! After done paying, I asked my son if he likes to pick strawberry. He said: "Yeah, can we come again tomorrow?". Hahaha...
