Sanrio Partners With Tanaka Farms
I’ve been taking the kids to Tanaka Farms for years, we try to go every season to take advantage of the strawberries, watermelon, and pumpkins that are grown right there on the farm. This local family-owned farm is a great place to learn about sustainability, responsible farming and agriculture.
Now trips to Tanaka Farms will be even more fun and even more adorable as Tanaka Farms is partnering with Sanrio for a year-long collaboration! Hello Kitty and Sanrio friends will be incorporated into the educational programming provided by Tanaka Farms, teaching visitors of all ages the importance of healthy eating, as well as sustainability, responsible farming and agriculture, all while supporting their local community.
Hello Kitty, Keroppi, Chococat, My Melody and Pochacco will be integrated into photo ops throughout the farm as well as daily activities and seasonal celebrations throughout the year. A limited edition collection of commemorative Sanrio x Tanaka Farms merchandise will also be available for purchase at the Farm’s Market Stand.
The partnership kicks off September 30th with the opening of Tanaka Farms’ Pumpkin Patch. It’s a great time to visit so kids can take advantage of all that Fall has to offer in the Southland. Attendees can purchase admissions for the pumpkin patch, wagon rides around the farm, petting zoo and the Corn Maze or pick vegetables in the U-Pick veggie garden. The Fall Harvest Festival, including games and activities, will take place every weekend during the month of October. There will also be a Halloween event with a Sanrio Costume Contest on October 28th as part of Tanaka Farms’ famed fall celebration – along with appearances by Hello Kitty.
When the holiday season comes, the cuteness gets even better as the Sanrio collaboration continues with the Christmas Tree Farm, followed by strawberry picking in the spring and a melon celebration in summer 2018.
I’m excited to spend a whole year with Sanrio at Tanaka Farms, enjoying the fresh produce along with the excitement of Hello Kitty!
