Picking the Perfect Fruits on a Gunma Farm

Throughout the year, visitors to Kajitsu no Sato Harada Farm in Numata City can join in the fruit-picking fun. However, the seasons still control which crops are ready to be harvested upon any given visit. While strawberries last through winter and spring, summer is the time for cherries, blueberries and peaches. In the fall, grapes, apples, and Chinese cabbage make their appearance. Mushrooms are available year round. While there are “taste hunting” experiences available throughout the year, be on the lookout for seasonal events like strawberry jam-making classes in the winter. Plus, they sell all kinds of fruit-based treats and souvenirs along with products made from locally grown ingredients.
