your first experience on self pluck fruits... and it's fun.
you started at the cherry trees, they're plenty of cherries, of different variety. you're like a little kid finally discover the treasures...
and then the raspberries, this was hard work, unlike the cherries they're all over the tree, for raspberries you have to search for the ripe one carefully
and most of them are hidden inside the branches and covered by the leaves...
they're red berries but not ripe enough to harvest
then the strawberries, what's left were pretty young and raw
yet a couples that you plucked and tried were burst with flavor and sweetness
and then the gooseberries, you didn't pluck this but just sample a couples, you like the balance of tart and sweetness
and your harvest of raspberries
this place is full of tourist and local alike, and while paying for your harvest, you spotted the lavender for sales too.
the fruits are not cheap and in fact the prices are comparable to the one in the supermarket but it's the experience and the excitement that count, plus the fact that you harvest what you pick you know the freshness of the fruits. hard labor, expensive but worth it.
