Strawberry Picking At Fishkill Farms!

As it got closer to summer the kids and I were talking about how much we would miss picking fruit at the farm due to the pandemic, but when we heard that Fishkill farms was open to go strawberry picking by reservation only you better believe that I quickly picked up my phone to book an appointment. It was weird to be paying online and making an appointment just to go picking. There wasn't too many people as they limited it by appointment so were lucky to have had a few rows to ourselves to pick. This definitely was social distancing at its best! And boy did the kids go to town picking! Chelsea was our main picker as Noah was whining a bit due to it being so hot. I know wearing a mask wasn't comfortable in the hot weather but luckily there weren't too many people so we slid them down our face for awhile. Noah then began picking more, and we left with a ton of strawberries!!

As you can see Chelsea is always a good sport at picking. She finds picking fruit therapeutic!

Strawberry picking was very different this year but nonetheless we had fun, and it turned out to be a perfect day!
