It was a Berry of a Day!


So getting up early to sell plants, and turning around to plant plants as a community service project was just the beginning. The next step was to travel to Floyd's Farm in Fairmont to enjoy a particular plant, strawberry plants.


It was the annual kids day at Floyd's Strawberry Patch.
Not only were there a bunch of 4-H members present enjoying the day, there were Extension staff members everywhere enjoying the ripe red berries that had pulled us all there. Another draw for the day, was that a percentage of the proceeds went to our local autism society.


Kids and adults enjoyed homemade ice cream, got to pick fresh berries, and enjoy a day on the farm. The youth also had the opportunity to ride on a trackless train, bounce in bouncy houses, and check out a real fire truck and the Sheriff office's command center. What a way to end a day center on plants. It was really sweet!
