This weekend I was invited to attend a strawberry farm and culinary tour event hosted by the California Strawberries Commission in the beautiful city of Carmel, CA. It was an AMAZING experience, I learned (and ate!!) so much. I can’t wait to share the photos I took from the farm tours (and more incredible food of course!), but for now here is a sneak peak of Day 1, which includes arrivals and our first dinner together. I met so many talented bloggers, including: Jodi (Garlic Girl), Mitzi (Nutrition Expert), Jill (The Veggie Queen), Jennifer (Playful Pantry), Claudya (Unknown Mami), Kankana (Playful Cooking), Amy (Cooking with Amy), Jess (Sodium Girl), Yvette (Muy Bueno Cookbook), Nicole (Pinch My Salt), Jennifer (Savory Simple), and Laura (Superglue Mom). Check out their amazing work when you get a chance!
The event was hosted at Carmel Valley Ranch, which is just breathtaking in every direction you look. It has such a rustic feel, and I immediately felt calm and at-home on the grounds.
Stay tuned for photos from Day 2, which will include tours of strawberry farms in California (both conventional and organic), and the rest of the fun events!
I could get used to this view… 🙂
I’m so jealous of you-this looks fabulous!
That is an amazing view!
What a beautiful place. You must have had the most amazing time. I love the setting and how fabulous to have the opportunity to catch up with an amazing group of bloggers xx
I’m so jealous my friend, this event would have been brilliant 🙂

Sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for taking us all with you, via this post and your picture. 😉
Kristianne, what a lovely post. I had fun too – and I’m so happy to have met you. I miss Carmel Valley Ranch already. 🙂
What a fun thing to do! I am so jealous that you get to live within a couple hours of Carmel.

That sounds like SO much fun!! I love strawberries — they’re one of my favorite fruits — so I’m definitely jealous. And is that a make-your-own s’mores bar?? Amazing!
It was so nice to meet you Kristianne and I have a lovely photo of yours with me that I would email you soon 🙂
