It’s strawberry season, y’all! And we have lots of baking and preserving to do and our first strawberry stop of the year was in Louisville, GA at Sunny Day Farms!
We were ecstatic to hear that it was opening day and immediately after breakfast, the kiddos and I hopped in the car and drove through the countryside to the farm! What a beautiful drive and a lovely farm!
There is a sweet store front full of preserves, merchandise, produce, and probably best of all, strawberry ice cream, slushies, and shortcake!
We grabbed a bucket and Ellie took off running to the wide open field! It was a sunny 83 degree day and truly perfect.
I sat Elias down in the field and gave him a strawberry and his cup of water and he was as happy as could be. Ellie, now a pro at harvesting anything, took to her work diligently and with great commentary! I helped her top off the bucket and off we went to play on the playground.
Ellie and Elias swung in the swings, played in the sandbox, went down the slides, and hopped on the Bouncing Pillow.
And of course, we ended the afternoon with an ice cream for Ellie - which Elias decided he wanted in on…I suppose I’ll have to start buying him his own as well!
When we got home we made our first batch of strawberry jam and next up? Muffins!
