Where In West Orange (WIWO) Is This? A Farm-Fresh Adventure

This week’s WIWO adventure takes us to Southern Hill Farms, where winter brings the joy of u-pick strawberries, sunflowers, and seasonal vegetables. I had a blast spending the day among the fields, and I’m excited to share a few snapshots from my visit!

A Strawberry-Field Day: The weather was beautiful and almost a bit warm in the fields. One of my favorite moments was standing in a vibrant field of strawberries, a box of freshly picked berries in hand. There’s something magical about being surrounded by nature’s bounty and the sweet promise of summer flavors—between the cold days.

Sunflower Smiles: I also snapped a charming photo of my daughter proudly holding her freshly picked sunflowers. The bright, blooming flowers against the open field perfectly capture the spirit of Southern Hill Farms.
