Strawberry Picking In Carlsbad

On Saturday, June 4, 2011, we headed out to the Carlsbad Outlet Stores where we got some really great deals at Coach, GAP and Pac Sun.  After we were done shopping and ate lunch, we headed over to Carlsbad Pick Your Own Strawberry Farm (Carlsbad Strawberry Company) just down the road.

For Pick Your Own, there are two sizes of containers available - small ($8.50) or large ($17.50).  We opted for the larger of the two so we could really enjoy our experience with our kids.

On our way walking over to the strawberry field, we asked a worker where the sweetest ones would be located and headed over.  Here are some pictures from our day.

We all had a great time finding the rare dark strawberries that were perfect for picking.

Here's how many strawberries we picked and are enjoying.  We ate a lot the day we brought it home.
