  • Family Outings: Strawberry Picking

    We went Strawberry picking this past weekend and had a blast!  The entire family was picking so we had our gallon done in no time.  We stopped by Hunter’s Farm in Easley, South Carolina. The strawberries were $8.50 a gallon if you pick your own and bring your own container.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure Strawberry Picking:
