What: One Acre Farm is only open to the public on Saturdays, and we have arranged a special field trip so that we can pick together on Friday March 20th.  One Acre Farm is just outside of Camarillo in the Santa Rosa Valley.    Co-Owner Scott Bahler is excited to share with our kids his knowledge of healthy eating habits, organic farming, varieties of blueberries, how to start farming, and the rewards and challenges they face being small farmers.  He will also answer questions anyone has.  Here is an article the VC Star did on them last year.  You can learn a little about them by reading: https://www.vcstar.com/story/life/2019/03/07/one-acre-farm-camarillo-organic-blueberries/3070997002/

Most likely there will also be organic strawberries available for picking, though I don’t know the price for those yet.

Who: Everyone.  This field trip is family friendly.

Cost: Field Trip is free, and you are welcome to pick blueberries for $3.50 per 6 oz container.

Details:

• Wear closed toe shoes.
• Do not bring dogs.
• I do not recommend bringing a stroller.  We will be given golf cart rides (the kids’ favorite part) up to the acre.  Toddlers can walk around and pick berries (or play with sticks and dirt), and it would be a good idea to have a carrier if you are bringing a baby.
• Dress in layers, wear sunscreen & hats, bring water.
• There are nice bathrooms below the parking lot, but there are no bathrooms near the acre where we are picking.
• Stay and pick as long as you like, and leave when you are ready
