On Saturday, May 19th, 2007, Heritage Park and Rich Park joined together for strawberry picking at Hilltop Farms -- Wake County's first and only USDA Certified Organic farm -- and then a fun-filled afternoon at Lake Wheeler.
Hilltop Farms - Willow Springs, NC
Cassandra, Alexis, Kendra and Kiki pose in front of a tractor.

Farmer Fred Miller talks to the group about organic farming.
A scarecrow--yikes!
Michael and Jason show off their muscles.

The kids check out the horse up-close.
Kendra pets Secret, a little cat who also lives on the farm.
