One of the best things about living in Perth, Western Australia is the lifestyle! Just a 30mins drive from the city and you find yourself in little paradise where you can go into a strawberry farm to pick and eat strawberries!
It costs $2 per person to enter and a 5kg box costs $10. So for a party of 4 we went in for $18; walked out with 5kgs of strawberries and had all you can eat inside the farm as well.
Just look at the large expanse of land along with the beautiful blue skies that form the backdrop! What a great surrounding and perfect weather to spend the day out.
One thing I learned about strawberry picking is to pluck the strawberries with part of the stalk still attached so that they last longer after the picking.
What I really like about these farms is that you get to learn and teach children about farming and the importance of it in our heritage and history. Too many times things are learned via handphones and ipads these days.
Here's one last picture of our 5kg box FILLED to the brim! :)
Thank you for reading and for your support! I hope you liked it as much as we did on our adventure!
Cheers!

Yum! I love strawberries and strawberry picking. I also miss cheap strawberries. They are all imported in Panama so expensive.
Also, if you're interested, you can edit this post to have it show up on steemit worldmaps.

Strawberry season in Perth is a lot of fun, and the strawberries are delicuous too. They can be used to make excellent jams with what you can't eat. I must get my family out there before the good ones are gone.

Yes @bmj! You most definitely have to!
Fresh strawberry smoothies are a great alternative to jam as well! 😁
