Strawberry Fields

Welcome to Homestead!

We picked the PERFECT day for strawberry picking- overcast, but not rainy with a slight breeze that kept us all comfortable.  We love Homestead Farm- a small, family owned farm where we gather berries in the spring and apples in the fall and pumpkins for Halloween.  It has enough animals to keep everyone happy and a huge hay pile to climb and play on.  It feels like an authentic farm (because it is) and not overly commercial (because it isn’t).

As you can see we went with two other beautiful families (11 kids and 3 moms total) and spent the morning eating and picking our way through the patch.  After dinner I threw together simple shortcake and we all devoured fresh strawberry decadence.  I am already thinking of going back next week…
