딸기 농원 Strawberry farm
Less than an hour later, we have reached one of Korea’s strawberry farms. If you’re imagining some idyllic sunny farm with strawberries sprouting all over the field, then remember that’s just your imagination. The farm is composed of several hothouses. The hothouses are covered in transparent plastic. We enter one hothouse. Just beside the entrance is a controller that regulates heating inside the hothouse. It is spring in Korea, and the climate is still cold. Strawberries would just get ruined in such a climate. Management told us that we can each look around and pick up to 3 strawberries for free.
The strawberries are planted in 6 columns, and we can easily make our way between them. I’m not sure why the soils are covered in black plastic. Since it is 3 pieces inside a hothouse, it didn’t take too long to explore.
Going to the farm and to see it, it’s like how Mr. Bean in the Bean movie explained about Whistler’s Mother painting. His mother looks like an ugly old hag, but he loves her and that’s all that matters. In this case, the Koreans make the most out of limited land. Growing produce that normally blooms well into the summer. There is only 1 harvest season for rice and that is sufficient to feed everyone there for a year. By contrast, we could probably do 2-3 harvest, but it’s still not enough to feed everyone. Simply put, it is not a picturesque farm, but it does its job to make strawberries. Big, juicy strawberries at that.
As we leave the farm, the owner of the farm arrived and with only a few boxes of strawberries left, offered to us at a special price. We bought all the boxes. Yummy. All the biggest, plumpiest, yummiest strawberries we’ve ever seen and tasted. 
Next, we go to lunch first, and then Everland!
