We had no plans originally, but then I scrolled through Instagram. I follow someone on Instagram who lives in Chattanooga, and I get a lot of ideas of things to do from her. She posted about Lorenzen Farm, and we decided to go on a whim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lorenzen Farm is located in Dayton, TN, about 45 minutes away from where we live. It is a small, one acre family owned tulip and strawberry farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farm is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, usually only in the mornings from 8 to 11 a.m., but yesterday they were open all day specially because it was Mother&#8217;s Day weekend. They are also available by appointment to pick in the evenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strawberry season has just started, and will last about five weeks. There were plenty of red, ripe strawberries to pick and plenty more green ones ripening for later pickers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It costs $15 for a gallon of strawberries, and the buckets are provided. You can pay with cash, check, venmo or paypal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time earlier this spring they grew tulips, which was a big hit. I saw the pictures on their social media accounts and it looked beautiful! Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, so it would be nice to do that next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We really enjoy u-pick farms. Last year we picked blueberries at The Blueberry Farm in LaFayette, GA. Read about that <a href=\"https:\/\/sceniccityblog.com\/?p=258\">here<\/a>. I am glad we have found a strawberry farm to add to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After we got home, Derek went to the grocery store and bought the shortcake dessert cups and whip cream. I am looking forward to enjoying that for the next couple of evenings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/51166050271\/in\/album-72157719180351130\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51166050271_8fd8932f10_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Strawberry Picking15\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/51166831854\/in\/album-72157719180351130\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51166831854_87270c3ea4_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Strawberry Picking6\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/51167150110\/in\/album-72157719180351130\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51167150110_44e66491ae_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Strawberry Picking4\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/51166831524\/in\/album-72157719180351130\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51166831524_7870830134_c.jpg?resize=533%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Strawberry Picking12\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was a chilly, cloudy day.
