Our Trip to Westham Island Farms

Today's trip was to a farm out in Ladner!  The farm is called Westham Island Herb Farm.  They have animals on the farm but they also grow all kinds of plants.
When we arrived, Farmer Sharon greeted us and showed us around her farm.  It has been in her family for 100 years now!


This is a Scottish Highland cow.  Look at her hair!

Sharon feeding the donkey and the goat.

The baby kids getting some milk from mom!  Ahh!  They are so cute!!


After visiting the animals, we climbed onto the back of the pick up truck for a ride out to the strawberry field!!  It was the first riding in the back of a truck for most of us!  It was SO EXCITING!!

As we drove up to the field we could see the RED RIPE STRAWBERRIES peeking out from under the leaves!!

Everyone jumped out of the truck and went straight to work, filling our baskets!!

There were so many little berries ready for picking!!

It didn't take very long to fill our baskets.



Trying to find a few more berries.



Here are all the berries we picked!!

We can't wait to take them home to show our families!

After a "long day's work", picking berries...

...we all needed a snack and a rest!  Then we climbed back onto our bus and headed back to school!
