Vollmer Farm in Bunn

Spring has come.  People are getting away from their indoor hideaway and come out to enjoy the weather, the environment, and most importantly the social gathering.  We are of no exception.  In early April, together with a lot of friends, we visited the Vollmer Farm in Bunn, North Carolina.  The farm is about an hour drive away from Raleigh.  The main purpose of that trip was to pick strawberry, particularly, organically grown strawberry.

The past winter was quite warm.  Also, we had record high temperature in March.  The strawberry comes out earlier this year.









The strawberry field is organized in rows.  It will take a few minutes to walk from one end to the other end.

While we picked strawberries, we had a lot of companies. We saw people with age from a few years to a little less than a hundred kneeing down in the field to pick strawberries.

This sign was right at the entrance of the strawberry field telling us that these strawberries are organic.

The soil under the strawberry plant is wrapped by black plastic.  We believe it is to avoid the strawberries from prolonged contact with water.
