What Should We Know About Picking Raspberry with Kids

Summer is the peak season for raspberry, so raspberry picking will be the popular activity with families these days. Here are 5 helpful tips for families going raspberry picking for the first time.

Find a Kid-Friendly Farm

Found farms where kids are free to eat and explore. Because not all farms support kids to eat freely, and if so it would be a lot less fun and not kid friendly.

Pick the Right Day & Time

Consider going at a time like Wednesday morning or first thing Saturday to avoid crowds and have the most berries. Early morning and sunset are the coolest, which are the good time to go picking.

Bring Supplies for Kids

Bring enough snacks, water and sunscreen for kids. And it's also important to pack extra clean clothes to change the kids into for the ride home. Because your kids will eat berries, play in the dirt, and pick grass, so their clothes are easy to be soiled.

Don't Wear Open-toed Shoes

The soil in which raspberries usually grow is home to many ants and fire ants. Wear close-toed shoes to protect the toes and be careful of the ground.

Focus On the Red Raspberries

Raspberries should be red, though there will be many glorious berries, please only focus on red raspberries. Do this ahead of your kids on the drive to the farm in case they pick other berries.

Usually the farm is large and has a lot of vegetation, in case the children get lost, we can prepare children's walkie-talkies for them, so that we can keep in touch with them at all times.
