Praise the Lord for farmers! Hard working, smiling, helping farmers like those of Stewart Farms in Enoree, SC.
Strawberry picking with my Ellie is a tradition and I didn’t have to miss it this year among the crazy times all thanks to this amazing farm who made sure laws were in place so that all could come and safely and securely enjoy getting out and gathering DELICIOUS berries! They have an excellent crop!! From the moment I entered the parking lot to the end of our journey at the checkout line- all staff were smiling and and loving and helpful. Noticing Ellie’s strawberry stained chin from her tasting their bounty, it was lovingly commented, “Good to see! We need taste testers out there for quality control!”
Ellie wasted no time with her red gallon bucket ($11/bucket u-pick). She set to work searching for the perfect berries telling me as only a smart and sassy 2.5 year old little girl can, “This one is a little green. Don’t pick it mommy. Only red and juicy!” Yes ma’am, Ellie. Yes ma’am! She also told me to leave some strawberries for the bees hahaha!! I always remind her when picking flowers that we must leave many for our pollinators and so I suppose she believes that rule applies here as well! Precious girl!
When our basket was full to the brim, Ellie sat down in the field and ate a strawberry and watched as other pickers (all staying their distances from one another) found their perfect harvest.
We checked out and the staff was on their game! They had signs of 6ft distance, and a plexiglass over the checkout. What a cute little shop they have! Full of the most precious home decor, shirts, caps, preserves, and wreathes! I wanted to buy it all!!
When we got home, we made a healthy strawberry cobbler and mmm-mmmmm was it yummy!!!
Thank y’all, Stewart Farms!!!
