Strawberry Picking

Strawberry Picking🍓

What’s your favorite fruit? In 2017 strawberries took 1^st place on the ranking of favorite fruits. This time our group went strawberry picking.

Benefits of going in the earlier season

We went strawberry picking at Sun Foods Minatogawa Farm on May 5^th. Strawberry picking season is between February and May. So, when we went strawberry picking, the strawberries were very small. But, the sweetness was considerable in small strawberries. It was so good!!! We recommend you go there earlier. If so, you can eat bigger and sweeter strawberries.

Rules of strawberry picking

When you go to Sun Foods Minatogawa farm, you have some rules. First, before you go, you must make a reservation. They don’t have any website or something like that to reserve, so you have to make a phone call. When you get there, you’ll receive a food package and scissors. Please eat strawberries without condensed milk. Cut the vine closer to the fruit of the strawberry when you eat it. And you must be careful that the picked strawberries should all be in the food package; otherwise dropped berries will provoke plant disease. When your package is full, you can pour them into another bowl. If you want to enjoy strawberries at home, you can take them back with that food package by paying \250 per small package, \350 per big package.

Comment

It was our first time to go to strawberry picking, which was so fun. We ate a lot of Strawberries, but too many strawberries made one of us sick. We felt that strawberries are sweet and healthy. We’d like to go again in the next season. We didn’t think that we could do strawberry picking in northern Okinawa. However, the experience was totally precious, and we hope you come and visit Sun Foods Minatogawa Farm whenever you visit Okinawa in between February and May.
