I heard a lot about picking your own strawberries a lot when I was in Vietnam, but I have never tried it. Dalat in Vietnam is a popular place for this. I have visited Dalat many times but haven’t had any opportunities to pick any strawberries.
Now I’m in Canada, I really wanted to try it once, so my husband googled many websites to find out the place that is both close to the city and has high rating. Finally, I chose Whittamore’s Farm in Markham, and he made a good choice.
This is our first time of “picking your own fruit” so we experienced a lot of beginners’ mistakes. Since we didn’t bring any containers, we had to buy a bucket (3 bucks) and we were too excited to pick our own strawberries.
The place looked busy, a lot of people were there, from the youngest to the eldest, some of them were very hard working to pick their own, some of them were busying taking pictures. There were so many strawberries that all we focused on was picking strawberries for ourselves.
We picked almost half of the bucket, and then we realized that we wouldn’t be able to finish eating all of them so we decided to stop there and were ready to go out and weigh.
It was such a wonderful experience! Next summer, it is sure that we will come back for picking our own other fruits here!
