The Berry Farm
The Ballagh, Clonroche, Co. Wexford, Ireland.

We had to call the farm owner to confirm the location as we have no idea where it is & a little help from Google map, we reached Wexford safely. Wexford took us 2.5 hours. J rented a car for this trip :)
It was drizzling a bit so the soil was wet and muddy, which affected the overall experience. Nevertheless, I was extremely excited to pluck all the strawberries.
We went at early August. We were told that the best time for berries picking is May-mid July. Besides strawberries, the farms also plant gooseberries, raspberries, blueberries and red currants. However, in August time, most of them were not available anymore.
I think we paid €12 for the big container of strawberries? Entrance fee is free. I forgot the prices but there's a smaller container available for €6. J was really obedient and just plucked till the container was full. We did not eat any berries in the farm, but I think we could actually do so since it's a pick-all-you-can??
After Wexford, we drove to Waterford since it's just nearby. It takes approximately 1 hour to reach. Coincidentally, the Spraoi festival in Waterford was happening. Lots of food stalls, but they were rather similar to the options available in Cork.

Tried baking a strawberry shortcake using the strawberries we've picked
They're really sweet & juicy!! Our cake failed overall though. The sponge cake was not soft enough :(
