A niche strawberry farm in Ontario 🧺 | A day as a farm girl 🍓

After several heavy rains in June, the strawberry season has finally arrived 🍓 Strawberry picking farms near Waterloo are all closed on Sundays.🏵️🏵️ After searching for a long time, I found that Brandwood Farms in Brantford is open daily!🌷 Monday to Saturday: 9am-6pm🌵 Sunday: 10am-5pm🌳 There's no weighing after picking. The $4 basket already includes the price of the strawberries. 🍓🍓 There are two larger basket options, but I forgot how much they cost. Compared to other farms, the price here is very affordable.🍡 The farm store and the picking field are at two different addresses, a 5-minute drive apart.🍑🍑 If you're heading straight to the picking field, make sure to note this address: 89 St George Rd, Paris, ON N3L 3E1🍇 The guy at the checkout booth was very friendly. You can leave a little tip when you leave. It's really not easy working in such hot weather, and a few dollars can cover a farmer's meal!🍒 Moreover, this farm has very few people. The strawberry yield is quite abundant (you can taste them in the field).👀👀 It's estimated that they can be picked for another 3 or 4 weeks. I personally think they're very sweet, better than those in the supermarket. They should be even sweeter after absorbing enough rainwater, but they don't keep well. 👍👍 You have to eat them all within a day or two after picking. If you're worried about them going bad, you can pick fewer.👣 They grow about 4 or 5 varieties of strawberries. Two of them are currently in season. It's said that another two varieties will ripen in August.😁😁 BTW, remember to choose a cooler time to go picking. Don't go on a 30-degree day like we did, turning it into a fat-burning session :)🌈🌈 🐮: After picking strawberries, you can go to the popular Little Brown Cow nearby to get fresh milk. A small bottle is $4, a large bottle is $10.💰 It needs to be finished within a week after opening. The milk🥛 has a rich flavor, which lives up to its reputation. It's very similar to the milk my mom used to get from the ranch for me when I was a kid. I even successfully made double-skin milk with it. The milk from the supermarket has lower milk🥛 fat content. 🥛: The chocolate flavor is also delicious, $3 a bottle, very rich. I finished it quickly before even getting home. ☎️: If I'm not mistaken, Brantford is also the birthplace of the telephone. It's the hometown of Bell, the inventor of the telephone. There's a memorial park for him in the downtown area. If you're interested, you can drop by on the way. Since you're already here, why not?🤶🤶 Personally, I think it's quite amazing to see a figure from elementary school textbooks come to life in reality.🏠🏠 🦫: After returning home, I found a baby groundhog in the garage that couldn't move. I thought its leg was broken. The next day, we took it to the humane society for help. Before we left, the doctor asked where it was injured.☔☔ After watching the video and doing an examination, the doctor confirmed that it was fine. It couldn't walk👣👣 because its feet got burned by the hot weather. Hahaha. #WaterlooLife #FarmPicking #StrawberrySeason
