Picking Strawberry in Beijing Suburbs

Picking Strawberry in Beijing Suburbs
Mar 10, 2009 By eChinacities.com

"Pick your own" farms -- where you can go and pick fresh fruit right off the bush, usually at a discount rate -- are a cult phenomenon of sorts. It's one of those things that people go crazy for, or else they've never heard of.

*Tips on How to Pick Strawberries
-Grasp the stem just above the berry between the forefinger and the thumbnail and pull with a slight twisting motion.
-With the stem broken about one-half inch from the berry, allow it to roll into the palm of your hand.
-Repeat these operations using both hands until each holds 3 or 4 berries.
-Carefully place - don't throw - the fruit into your containers. Repeat the picking process with both hands.
-Don't overfill your containers or try to pack the berries down.

*Suggestions
-A Farm owner says "It does get very busy during the holidays, such as Golden Week holidays, when people are looking for something to do with the family". "We do suggest that if people are coming on Saturday or Sunday they come early, so there'll be more strawberries available."
