At present, it is the ripe season for strawberries in greenhouses. Picking strawberries in the fields has become a new choice for many citizens to celebrate the New Year. On February 12, we walked into the strawberry picking garden in Beigaoli Village, Zhili Township, Xingtang County. It was warm in the greenhouse. We saw delicate strawberries hanging among green seedlings, bringing us fresh and sweet taste. Tourists walk through the park, talking and laughing, tasting strawberries, taking photos and experiencing the joy of farming.
"Mom, the strawberries here are fragrant and sweet. I'm full when I pick them." Li Xinran, a child from Shijiazhuang, happily handed a basket of freshly picked strawberries to his mother, Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu said that according to friends' introduction, the strawberries here taste good, sweet, and not pesticide. Picking strawberries with children during the Spring Festival holiday can not only satisfy the children's desire to eat strawberries, but also make them feel the happiness brought by their own work. Zheng Suyun, the person in charge of the strawberry garden, was delighted to see the tourists coming in droves. This year is the eighth year for her to plant strawberries in greenhouses. In order to make strawberries taste better, We also specially introduced and planted milk strawberry in Dandong, which tastes fresh, sweet, soft and tender, and has beautiful fruit shape. Because of the use of organic fertilizer, the quality of strawberry is very good. She told the reporter that the living conditions are better now, and more and more people like this high-quality fruit. Especially during the Spring Festival holiday, the number of tourists increased significantly, and the supply of strawberries fell short of demand.
It is understood that the market for strawberries is good this year. The milk strawberries planted by Zheng Suyun are priced at 30 yuan per jin for group purchase, and 40 yuan per jin for picking. Her two strawberry greenhouses began to mature more than a month ago, and can grow four crops of fruit until May. The production capacity per mu has reached more than 6000 kg, and the annual income is nearly 150000 yuan. "There are more than 3000 mu of strawberries planted in the cold shed, warm shed and fields in our village, which is one of the main sources of income of the villagers. Last year, the roads in the village were also hardened, making it easier for tourists to pick and play." Li Jun, a cadre of the village committee of Beigaoli Village, said cheerfully. Seeing everyone busy in the strawberry shed, we knew that the villagers had another red hot year. In recent years, Xingtang County has actively adjusted the agricultural planting structure, vigorously developed leisure agriculture, constantly promoted the integrated development of modern leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and promoted farmers to increase income and become rich.
