Farm Visits

I went on two farm visits with Dave Myers. Both farms were experiencing issues with their strawberry plants. Unfortunately , one of the farmers was advised to remove their strawberry plants and plant a new crop.

I really enjoyed being able to go out and see other farms and how they are run. I liked being able to ask questions and absorb as much information as possible.
