Strawberries!

With all the rain we've been having, I worried that the strawberries would be a big, soggy, mushy mess this year. But thankfully, we've had our best crop ever!

Masses of the delicious, red fruit.

You can't help but smile whilst harvesting them, and eating them. Its a bit like 'one for the bucket, three for me...'

There are lots of picking helpers too when we are harvesting such a delicious crop.

Thanks Mum and Dad!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So far there's been many, many strawberries eaten, one and a half kilos turned into eight jars of jam and still more put aside for ice cream.

Is there a better way to start the day than with strawberry jam on toast?

I don't think so.

And don't forget we'll be at The Slow Food Farmers' Market at The Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne tomorrow evening (Thurs 23rd) from 3pm-8pm with the freshest, most delicious free range organic eggs and garlic.

Have a great Wednesday!

One month to go.

With one month to go until we open up for farm gate sales I have decided to post here everyday until January third. These posts might just be a few pictures of what we are doing or they might be a more detailed description.

I hope you can come along for the ride.

Today at Daylesford Organics we are picking strawberries.

And we are finally starting to harvest our garlic. Because of all the rain we've been having we are able to pull the garlic out by hand rather than using a fork which often damages the cloves.
