U-Pick Strawberry (Tanaka Farm) | Irvine, CA

we've been to tanaka farms before, but today was our first time going on their strawberry excursion to pick our very own strawberries. for $15 per person (2 and under are free), it was worth the money! the strawberries are the best i've tasted, probably since they're nicely absorb by the sun and was fresh when it was picked. you don't have to take the tour and can purchase fresh strawberries at the stands. 

our boys had an amazing time on the ride into the farm. aiden waved hello to all the little kids he saw on the wagon. we rode the wagon around the farm and got to sample different organic produce before making our last stop at the strawberry patch. we were able to sample organic carrots, which dilly loved, celery, onions, and snap peas. there are something about organic food that makes it taste so delicious.

tanka farm is definitely a family-friendly place for kids of all ages and i'm highly recommending it to you! i learned a few facts about how vegetables and fruits are grown throughout the year, which was very interesting. i could never be a farmer. well, never say never!

anyways, we walked away with some yummy fresh picked strawberries in the end. dylan had a box full of half eaten strawberries. yes, he only ate the tip of each strawberry and toss it afterwards. it was great to take part on this adventure (oh yeah, we were the only asian family on the wagon). we loved picking the strawberries with our boys. i can't stop raving about this place. you really need to go if you haven't been here! we heart tanaka farms.

dilly pushed his fingers into the strawberry. haha.

dilly was notorious for picking the strawberries and only taking a bite off  the tip, and then throwing it.

our little strawberry pickers in-training. aiden is a perfectionist. he wanted his strawberries to be fully ripped. if he pulled the strawberry and it was missing the leaf part, it was a goner. he went back for another one. it had to be in perfect condition (no joke).

dilly was really rough with the strawberries.
