At Tutland

When we entered, we received a short explanation about the place and started exploring the farm.

As in other farms, strawberries in Tutland are organic, and chemicals are not used. Thus you can eat straight from plants.

As far as I remember, there were four different types of strawberries. And you can find explanation signs near each type.

We started by eating different kinds of strawberries. And then we filled the boxes.

Here are several additional photos:

There is also an accessible area for picking strawberries.

After about an hour, we could not eat any more strawberries. Thus we walked across the farm.

There were different kinds of vegetables, but not all had produce. Thus, I suggest checking if you are interested in something specific.

As you can see, Tutland is located in the city, by residential houses.

There was also a small exhibition of cars and tractors. And after about 1.5 hours, we ended our visit at Tutland.

Did you know that the strawberry is a plant with flowers from the rose family? You can check out the following photo for other interesting facts.

Summary

We spent around one and a half hours at Tutland. Besides strawberries, there are many vegetables, fruits, and flowers. But many vegetables were entirely harvested. Therefore, if you are interested in something specific, check in advance.

Both adults and children enjoyed this experience. It is educational and teaches kids to eat more fruits (a problem many parents have).

If you want to add an extra activity after the self-picking, you can drive to Hod HaSharon Park for a short walk.
