A 14 Year Old Learns What it's Like To Work For And Harvest Your Own Food.

Today, me and my family went out and drove about an hour to a local farm in Northern California. They had fruits and vegetables growing everywhere and animals all over the place. All of the fruits and veggies they grow are non gmo and are not treated with pesticides, which is why they taste so good! ;)

Here, We went out to the strawberry fields.

This variety of strawberries was non gmo and weren't like your super market strawberries. This variety of strawberries don't get very big, but a very, very sweet. They are way better than any strawberry you can get at the store, and the best part is, their non gmo and aren't treated with pesticides. One of the problems when picking the strawberries were that a lot of them were eaten by bugs since they are not treated with chemicals, but it wasn't a big deal, because there were plenty of untouched ones deep in the field.

We also got the chance to go to other plants a pick other things like bell peppers and jalapenos.

It was a huge farm with lots of fruits and veggies, and there were also animals.

There were horses, but when I looked at the picture, it was peeing in the shot. I'll save that for another time! ;)

Here is everything we picked!

Anyways, this trip has taught me a lot about doing things for yourself and harvesting food. Back when we didn't have super markets, we had to harvest our own foods or trade for them, but now we have it so easy. I think it is good to try an activity like this once in a while to remind you how things were in the past. I hope you enjoyed! Cheers!
