We have been to Tanaka Farms on numerous occasions, either in the spring for the strawberry tours or in the fall, for the pumpkin tours. I won tickets to the farm a while back, but I wanted to hold onto them until the summer so we could go on the watermelon tour for the first time.
D had been looking for a straw hat to wear for our housebuilding mission in Baja. When we were browsing the gift shop, they had a nice selection for a reasonable price. Sold!
While we were on the tractor tour, we tried many freshly picked vegetables, including sweet corn.
All of the tour guides have been friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This one was no exception.
We stopped and sat under a tent to taste various melons. This yellow watermelon had a slight pineapple taste. It is not widely available because it is fragile and difficult to ship. n did not really care for it, but he is not a huge watermelon fan in general. The rest of us really enjoyed it, though. So refreshing!
At the end of the tour, we each went home with a watermelon. One boy kept dropping his. “Hold onto your watermelon!”
