fun to do's...Tanaka Farms in Irvine

If you haven't had your 8-13 servings of fruits and veggies today...head up to Tanaka Farms in Irvine!


We went on a field trip with both C & K's preschool groups...definitely a favorite every year for moms and kids!

They have tours in the mornings (I recommend going early to miss the heat)....you load up in back of the tractor and get taken on a tour of the whole farm, stopping here and there to taste the YUMMY crops this farm produces!  The Strawberry Tour (this particular spring) tastes green onions, lettuce, peas, green beans, carrots, cilantro & celery...and of course, a stop at the Strawberry field where you get to wander around picking your own strawberries to fill your basket and eating as many as you like on the way!  Few things are better than a sweet strawberry right from the vine!

me and my brood filling our baskets...mouths watering!




Coming in June (for the summer) are the Watermelon Tours!  I haven't been on this one yet, but I imagine it's a Tasty treat...filled with picking your own watermelon off the vine, tasting other melons on the way, sweet corn on the cob, tomatoes & other in season tasties!! There is also a Pumpkin Patch in the fall, which we have done...super fun, more tasting and picking your pumpkin...and then a christmas tree tour in the winter.  

Oh---and you can't forget the great little Farmer's Market onsite! My salsa tastes it's BEST when I get my fruits & veggies here!
