We went on a field trip to Tanaka Farms and it was a beautiful day! We took a tractor ride through the fields and tasted farm fresh vegetables picked right out of the ground! We tasted carrots, onions, cilantro, celery, bok choy and of course all the strawberries we could eat! We were able to see other vegetables and fruit trees as well. We saw lettuce, beans, carrots avocado trees, peach trees, apple trees, and banana trees (did you know that the bananas take up to 2 years to ripen because of our mild California climate?). As we roamed through the strawberry fields we learned how to pick the perfect strawberry! We sampled as many as we could eat! We had a great educational and nutritional field trip to the farm.
