Here are a couple of great pictures of Farmer Pavle at the Orr's Farm Market Berry Patch in Martinsburg, WV.As you can see in the 1st image, this is after we had been picking for a bit. We filled up 2 of those flats which hold 6 qts each. In total, the first time we went to the strawberry fields we picked nearly 15 pounds. That was all 3 of us together.
A little while later, Pavle and I went again during the week and picked about 13 pounds by ourselves!
Although Pavle is not a big "fan" of "bugs," we did observe the bees, moths and other little "guys" as we worked in the fields. The sunny day was nice and in the early AM it was pleasant. Pavle liked learning about the strawberry blossoms and how those little flowers turn into the "yummy" fruit we so enjoy in our cereal!
He was also good about being gentle with the plants and choosing fruit that was ready for picking. He also said that we should make sure to leave enough strawberries for other guests at the farm. Needless to say, strawberry picking in an enjoyable outing for us.
