Part of the Tanaka Farms CSA experience is to come out to the farm to see where and how your fruits and vegetables are grown. What better way to do that than to come out to the farm and work a little bit! What do we tell our children? "If you work for it , it means more!"
Tanaka Farms is offering this opportunity only to our CSA subscribers. The work involved this weekend is pretty simple, even for young children. In the strawberry filed we have small baggies filled with dirt (about 3 pounds) that help hold the plastic down in windy conditions. It is time to remove them. They need to be picked up and the dirt emptied into the bottom of the furrow and the dirt spread out with your feet (please....make sure and wear closed toe shoes that you don't mind getting dirty!)
If for some reason we have some really good, fast and efficient workers and all of the baggies are removed, there is a lot of weeding to be done, so you might want to bring gloves!
Of course, hard work needs to be compensated and you will be..... with some of our SWEET, JUICY, DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES! All you can eat strawberries while you are in the field! You may purchase a basket for $5 from us if you would like to take some home.
