Twelve months ago, the children and I headed to the Mornington Peninsula for a family visit. While there we took the opportunity to go strawberry picking and it was just fantastic.

We visited the Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm located in Main Ridge, where you can pick your own strawberries and purchase them. They also have an amazing array of related products like wine, jams, sauces, ice-cream, chocolate and pretty much anything resembling this delectable fruit.
Sunny Ridge also has the "Dessert Cafe" which serves up every strawberry dream you can conjure . . .

When we visited it was a perfect sunny day and we took to the fields where you can pick - well my children were in heaven!!! By the time we had filled our containers, Georgia and Aidan were completely covered in strawberries with tell-tale red juicy lips. I honestly thought the girl serving us could have popped the kids on the scales and charged per pound!
If you have never been berry picking - treat yourself (perhaps not as much as my darlings). It is a fantastic family day out, and a great way to keep fresh produce alive and kicking in Australia. What a great way to teach children about the joys of growing and tasting beautiful food.
