Last weekend I got a chance to visit 2 local farms for fresh pickings. It was two days of hanging out in the fields, soaking up the sun, walking among the rows of plants, feeling the fruits, warm and alive

With strawberry picking season well under way - but migrant labour in short supply in several countries - we look at the various robots being developed around the world to help producers harvest this most

Strawberry is ripe between spring and summer. It was a great day taking kids to pick the strawberries.  My son Eric was intrigued in the strawberries but Ryan was not so much :P You can pick and eat.
