  • BerriesMay to Aug

Typical US ranges from extension service crop calendars, not this farm's own dates. Seasons shift by region and weather, so check with the farm.

Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Search for the farm's current hours: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • Containers only if the farm allows them (some weigh yours first)
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • A cooler for the drive home
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

How to pick like a pro

  • Is it ripe?

    Strawberries are ready when fully red to the stem. Blueberries should be deep blue with no red at the stem end; ripe ones roll off into your palm. Blackberries are ripe when dull black, not shiny.

  • How to pick

    Pinch strawberries off with a bit of stem so they keep longer. Cup blueberry clusters and roll with your thumb. Pick into shallow containers so the bottom layer is not crushed.

  • Best time to go

    Early morning, before the heat softens fruit and picked-over rows fill up.

  • Keep it fresh

    Do not wash until you eat them. Refrigerate in a single layer; most berries keep 2 to 5 days.
