We went during the first part of May when the strawberries were right at their peak that year!
It was a first-time experience for all of us, and we had a lot of fun.
I was pregnant…and hot…so I was glad we went in the evening – just as the sun started to go down a bit.
Even our youngest (at the time) enjoyed this outing…in his own way, of course – running up and down the rows!
(Oh my goodness, just wook how wittle my wittle, bitty baby boy was! I can’t believe it! *Cue the tears.*)
I’m not sure I remembered that the flowering part of a strawberry plant looks like this.
It was great learning new things, and we left with a gorgeous batch of strawberries…
…and some asparagus. Ha! The farm was also selling batches of asparagus, and we threw it on the grill as soon as we got home – Yum!
After dinner, we used a little antique strawberry huller to prep some strawberries to use on top of shortcake. I mention this because this little gem came from my hubby’s grandmother’s kitchen, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. *smile*
Dinner on the grill and strawberry shortcake for dessert? Yes, please!
Okay, there’s more you need to know about Carrigan Farms!
