I'm trying to filter query by checkbox but when I look at the database it's storing the values in a way that looks impossible to get the correct value.

For example, I have a checkbox selection called "Batavia" but the value in the database is stored:

a:1:{s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-ec87186e89522722cbba7138ce2462a6-1";a:1:{i:0;s:9:"Rochester";}}

Is there an easy way to get this value?
