A weekend getaway at Albohayra farm
It was through a friend here that I came to know about the Albohayra farm aka Blue Lake farm. The strawberry picking part was what got me all excited about. So with great expectations, on a Friday morning, my family set out to experience and explore the Albohayra farm. It is easy to find the location of the farm on google maps or waze app. The sporadic rains in Kuwait has made the desert look yellowish green [The drive kind of reminded me the lands in India in the summer :). lol, what an irony.] It was an hour and a half drive. Once we reached the farm, we parked our car and went right in. The gates to the strawberry farm was already open. Usually they open the farm by 12:45ish; so try to reach there early i.e. atleast by 12:30pm so as not to miss picking the reddest ripest strawberries. There is always a crowd and the ripe strawberries get picked up fast. Make sure to call them to affirm that there IS strawberry picking on the day you are...
