The awaited season has finally arrived—it's strawberry picking time! There's nothing quite like eating strawberries fresh from the farm, especially in New Jersey, which boasts numerous excellent strawberry picking spots. To avoid the heat, it's best to go early in the morning when it's still cool, allowing you to enjoy the freshest strawberries. During strawberry picking, there's often little shade and it can get quite hot, so be sure to wear sun protection and stay hydrated. If you find a spot that interests you, definitely give it a visit.

It’s not too late to think about summer camp! There are lots of options, but If you want your kids outside, feeling nature, playing with animals, Farm Girl recommends you check out Farm Camp! During these camps, your kids will learn about the world and deepen their understanding of their health and the environment. They also learn about where food comes from, something we really value in our home. Summer camp at a farm provides a fun and educational summer experience. I’ve gathered some options for you to consider below.
