Excellent. A great time. Caution that mid-may and early june trips may be overcast with what we san diegans know as the "june gloom" marine layer. but even still, a great time. just wish they had a station where you could wash the strawberries after picking. It would be even better if they would grow them organically so you don't really have to worry about your 18 month old picking them up and stuffing them in his mouth.
This is such a great experience for kids and adult kids too! Just be sure to dress your little one's in old shoes and clothes since it can get really messy stepping in the dirt. I'd bring lots of wipes and a change of shoes.
My kids, ages 4 & 2, had a lot of fun picking strawberries. Kids tend to pull off strawberries with too much stem or accidentally pick unripe ones, so they will need to be helped while picking. Great photo opportunity! Fun outdoor activity and healthy to eat too.
I have a 5 year old and we love to visit the strawberry fields. We buy a bucket and walk the fields, picking strawberries and learning about how they are grown. We love it!
