Tips for Strawberry Picking

Pick your own strawberries

Plan now for berry picking near you – Use our list below to choose the farm locations near you and mark your calendar with their anticipated picking schedule now. That way you won’t miss the picking season when it arrives.

Double-check the pick-your-own schedule before you go – We always recommend either visiting the farm websites or calling the farm to ensure that there will be plenty of ripe berries to pick when you arrive. Doing this will also help you avoid the disappointment of finding out they have stopped picking in order for more of the fruit to ripen or because the fields are too muddy.

Buy a basket or bring one from home – Some farms will have buckets or baskets available for purchase and you can use them when picking. Of course, you can also bring along empty containers from home to hold the berries you pick.

Check-in when you arrive – Always visit the farm stand before heading out to the field. The workers will help direct you to the best locations to begin picking and answering any questions you may have.

Protect your kids (and yourself!) from the sun – Berry fields are open and it’s likely you’ll be spending all of your picking time in the sun. Be sure to load up with sunscreen or wear a hat to keep the sun off your face.

Check the forecast before you go – Pick your own is often weather-dependent. Always check the host website or Facebook page if the weather forecast doesn’t look promising.

Prepare for the weather (and recent weather) – Depending on the time you choose to go, consider wearing layers so everyone is comfortable even in the cooler morning hours. You’ll also want to wear shoes or boots that you don’t mind getting dirty, as the fields may be muddy. You may even want to bring an extra pair of clean socks and shoes for the drive home.

Keep your berries fresh – Fresh berries should last between 5 to 7 days. In order to keep them fresh for as long as possible, don’t keep them in a hot car for too long. In addition, once you have them home, store them in the refrigerator and wait to wash and cut them until right before you plan to eat them.

Remember your camera – Make sure your phone is charged or bring along a camera to capture fun photo opportunities.
