Tanaka Farms!








u













Karen & I woke up early Saturday morning, loaded the kiddies in the car, and headed out to meet our friends in Irvine at a little place called Tanaka Farms. Actually, it's not that little. I forget exactly how many acres it spans, but they grow quite the variety of foods. We got to take a wagon ride and tour the farm with multiple stops to sample all the organic produce. Then we took a walk through the watermelon fields. The bees were especially attracted to the rotting yellow melons which Emma found simultaneously disgusting and fascinating... my little scientist! At the end we all got our own watermelons to take home with us! All the samples were so tasty and the kids did wonderfully trying out all the fruits and veggies. We got carrots, cherry tomatoes, corn on the cob, yellow beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, cantaloupe, watermelon, and even yellow watermelon. Yum yum! To make it even better, I found the farm tours on a groupon type site, so we got to go for half price! Yay! It was a great day!
