Field Trip to the Hydroponic Strawberry Farm


This isn't a picture of our farm, but looks identical. They grow everything vertical instead of the ground. It was really cool and a lot of fun!


Camron and his goods...


Jack just ate the strawberries. The thing I LOVED is that it was very stroller friendly!


Amaya getting her berries!


Brooklyn being really steady, she did NOT want them to fall on the ground.


She loved it...I am so glad I found this place.



Pretty berries..


3 amigos: Camron, Amaya, and Brooklyn enjoying themselves.


Last, but not least Noah. Bless his heart he was only interested in the scissors.


I really enjoyed this farm. It was only like 4 miles from my house and the staff was friendly. The farm is called Markley Family Farm. It is ran by a young couple. Steph and I were talking how when we got home about how we enjoy supporting new businesses like that. They were a little steep in price, but I figured I was going to pay the same at a kids museum, but only get to reap the rewards with all of the yummies we bought. I loved the educational part too and Brooklyn did as well. If you want directions let me know. Thanks guys for going with me...LOTS O FUN!

We had so much fun! It is well worth it to go out there for the experience and not near as expensive as most of those farms are. Thanks for inviting us!

I would go there again. So would Camron. My other two were disappointed they couldn't go and pick strawberries so I need to take them. Good strawberries and I have tried the lettuce~we bought black-seeded simpson variety which was one of our favorites in Idaho~yum. Thanks for the invite...
