点评:It's a farm! Come expecting mud.
I love to support local and Belluz has a lot to offer year-round. We've attended in the fall for the corn maze and Witch Walk, and in the summer for berry picking. The produce you get here is incredible, though you will pay a bit extra for the quality.
Strawberry picking: you book time slots online a few days in advance (sometimes they have walk-ins), but saskatoon berries and peas don't require bookings. The season is short so don't delay! Early to mid July is a great time to visit.
You need a basket with a clearly labelled volume - or you can buy a basket on site. We were assigned a row to pick from (or rows depending on how many baskets you want to fill - and I must admit that the quality of berry you get is entirely dependent on the row selection. My husband and I got an excellent row full of fresh, ripe berries - the sweetest we've ever had! But a family of four on the row next to us had barely anything in their basket and struggled to fill it even with un-ripe berries.)
The cost is about $30/basket this way, but the amount of strawberries you get is at least 3x as much as the largest one at the grocery store, and the quality is significantly better.
It was a lot of fun.

我喜欢支持本地产业,而Belluz农场一年四季都能提供很多有趣的体验。我们曾在秋天来这里玩玉米迷宫和“女巫之旅”,夏天则来采摘浆果。这里的农产品品质极佳,虽然价格会比普通农产品稍贵一些。
草莓采摘需要提前几天在网上预约时间段(有时也接受现场报名),不过沙棘果和豌豆的采摘则无需预约。采摘季很短暂,所以可别错过了哦!7月上旬到中旬是游览的好时机。
你需要一个标有容量的篮子——或者也可以在现场购买篮子。我们会被分配到某一排去采摘(如果要装满多个篮子,则需选择多排——必须承认,能摘到多好的浆果完全取决于所选的排次。我和丈夫选到了一排品质极佳的浆果,又新鲜又成熟,是我们吃过最甜的!不过,排在我们旁边的一户四口之家,他们的篮子里几乎没什么东西,即便用还没熟的浆果来填也怎么都填不满。
这样采摘的话,每个篮子大约需要30美元左右,但得到的草莓数量至少是超市里最大量装袋草莓的三倍,品质也要好得多。
这个过程真的非常有趣。
