One of the activities which I always wanted to try as a kid is picking strawberries from a strawberry farm. Doggie boy and Tiger girl love eating strawberries. They loves all forms of strawberry from the actual fruit to its jam and ice-cream.
All of us were really thrilled when the opportunity was presented to us personally experience plucking strawberries. There are many such farms in Taiwan and I requested that the we visit one.
We randomly stopped by a strawberry farm to pluck strawberries. What we learned from the farmers that we need to use scissors to cut off the strawberries with the stem intact. This prevents the plant from bruising and keeps it in prime condition.
It was extremely hot that day so we didn’t spend much time picking strawberries. Even though there wasn’t really a limit on the amount of strawberries we could pluck I gave the kids a quota.
While selecting the strawberries to pluck I came across quite a few bees buzzing around the flowers. I manage to capture this shot of a bee who rested for a few seconds on a flower.
This is one of the activity on my list too!
i want to experience the same as well since strawberry is my favorite fruit and flavor 🙂 a long drive to Baguio would be a great summer experience this year and head to where we can pick strawberries as well. =)
There is a place here in our country that strawberry grows. It is open to tourist to pick all strawberries they could and have it paid later. Unfortunately, I haven’t visit the place because it was too far from my place.
You’re lucky that a strawberry farm is accessible to you. 🙂 I have some strawberry plants, but they don’t look healthy. I wish they were. I’m still figuring out how to make them healthy and have flowers soon.
This looks so much fun! I want my little girl to experience this too!
Oh not yet tried strawberry picking. But I always look forward to going to strawberry farm and pick strawberries. I want to drink lots of strawberry smoothies!
Oh! what fun photos I love strawberries 🙂
Have a fruitytastic week 🙂
Yum, strawberries. This looks like lots of fun. I did pick strawberries once, but a very long time ago.
Strawberry picking is a popular tourist activity in a province in Northern Philippines but i haven’t done it myself. Makes me want to go visit them now!

Love strawberries. I recently discovered a strawberry farm where you can pick your own not too far from me but they are out of season and not picking right now.
Strawberry picking is so fun..especially when you love to eat strawberries like me. I haven’t done it in years though! Must be Lil Pumpkin to experience it too.
It’s snowing here. No strawberry picking in Nebraska. It looks like so much fun! I always loved the taste and the color of strawberries.
Strawberry picking is so much fun! Looks like you had a great day!
I’m not fond of strawberry but I would love to experience picking strawberry. I’ve visited strawberry farm twice but unfortunately, it is not time to harvest the fruit. 🙁
we also love strawberry picking whenever we are in Baguio we make it sure that we drop by La trinidad to pick some strawberry
I think my kids would love strawberry picking. I wonder how many we’d end up with by the time we got home though?! Nice photos! =)
Yes, we’ve been strawberry picking before. They never told us to use scissors, though! Looks like you guys had fun.
We would go strawberry picking every summer when I was a kid. The berries were cheaper if you picked them by yourself. And my parents knew a lot of people with farms, since they are from Finland’s strawberry capital, lol. I even picked strawberries for pay when I was a teenager. Not a fun job. It’s really backbreaking work.
The strawberry picking experience sounds so much fun. Great photos as always, Sis. I think my kids will love this experience.

How berry fun! Strawberries are my favorite fruit, so I should try picking someday.
It’s so nice to take the kids strawberry picking! They seem to have had a lot of fun!
I want to try this activity! We have this up north in La Trinidad, Benguet but I was not able to try because our trip was short. I can see that Tiger girl had fun.
I haven’t experienced picking strawberries before. I am sure it would be a fun activity for my kids, even if they are not fans of strawberries!
I haven’t tried strawberry picking yet, probably when we got a chance to visit Baguio will definitely try it.
Nice strawberry farm you have there in Taiwan. That’s a precious activity for your family. We went strawberry picking as well when we went to Baguio last year and it was awesome. 🙂
Haven’t try this things yet but would love to do it anytime soon. Great shots as always Miss Dominique. 🙂
awww! this reminds me of our 2015 trip to Baguio City. We were fortunate to be there when the strawberries were having fruits. So love it, too bad it rained though.
Oh my gosh! Really jealous you got to go strawberry picking in Taiwan. I can only go as far as Baguio. Hehe. Are the strawberries as sweet? 🙂
I am no-strawberry fan. But strawberry picking is definitely on my bucket list. 😀 😀 😀
You, sure, did have fun there.
