Strawberry Picking at Glendale Farms, Clintonville, WI


My kids loved picking strawberries. Noah probably picked 10 pounds of berries. He picked berries, ate berries and picked some more. Riley picked a few berries, but lost interest in the berry picking process quickly. She was more interested in carrying the orange flag up and down the aisle of the strawberry patch. I don’t think an official strawberry farmer would call the soil between rows of strawberry plants an aisle, but visually, the word aisle works for me. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge when it comes to strawberry patch vocabulary. Anyways, the work with strawberries continues at home. Twenty pounds of strawberries equates to lots of strawberry jam, strawberry desserts and strawberry smoothies. Yum!

Emily was the only other person who overheard the kid yelling, "Stop throwing strawberries at me."


Noah and Hunter debating whether to eat the berries of place them on the flat.



The tractor ride is one of the best parts about strawberry picking at Glendale Farms.

Success! Although, I think Riley is still debating if the trip was successful.
