Not your ordinary restaurant, but rather a strawberry farm in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
So today we will take you for a walk to show you how enjoyable it can be to visit one of the many farms that we have here.
There are many hiking trails and one can even hike through a gorge in the mountain, or just take the family out for a picnic. There are also many other activities offered on this farm.

This little Robin Chat guy greeted us at the farm gate!
There in that silvery shine you can see some of the strawberry fields!
Yes, it is now Spring season in South Africa and the map location will show you that we are at the southern tip of the African continent.
Told ya that it is strawberry fields and here we were passing by them.
Good looking fruits aren't they?
Our province is also known as the "Cape of Storms" and a gale force wind dropped this tree onto the low wall of the farm cemetery!
Just a beautiful sight of the mountain here!
This guy reminded me of a close friend and when he sees this, he will undoubtedly claim that he has longer and sharper horns 🤣
A few little farm dams also have some good looking residents.
Some packets of carrots and other food can be bought at the farm restaurant and given to small children to feed the animals.
The goose at the left sounded the call when we appeared and the folks stepped closer for Marian (my wife) to feed them.
"Well" he said, "are you going to stand there and gawk at me, or are you going to give me something to eat"?😁
The play park for children has many old farm implements that even little girls can drive 😀
Then it was time to leave and here you can see the ocean waiting for us!
Yes indeed, a great visit that we really enjoyed, even as we had some fairy rain during the visit. The lush valleys are all shades of different greens and new spring growth competes to draw one's eye. A great variety of birds, horses, cattle and wildlife are in abundance and the sounds of them on the farm instills a sense of well being in my soul.
This is for our friends that do not know strawberry cakes!
