223: local farms

Tuesday we met up to do some strawberry picking with Christina, Taya, and Isaac, Melissa and her kids, and Jen and Ben. I had heard from Freida that Stillpoint Farm was fantastic, organic, inexpensive, and LOCAL. I'm all about supporting local farming for so many reasons so I was all over this. We spent about three hours out there and it was absolutely gorgeous. 

Dagny caught a little nap on the long drive out.

The scenery was beautiful - very serene.

Such a beautiful place!
 


 
The berries were delicious - so sweet and juicy. The kids probably ate a few pounds right off the vines while they were picking. I actually resorted to making it a competition to see how full they could get their pints just to convince them to put some IN the pints and not eat ALL of them just yet.


notice Kinsley's empty pint

there we go :)






The kids had a blast playing with each other and got plenty of fresh air. It's amazing how well they get along when there are no toys involved!

Last summer we went out to a local blueberry farm and had a great time. We will definitely be going back to Stillpoint and looking for more local farms to support. I'm thankful to have so many options!
