What a wonderful afternoon we had with the kids!! They have plenty of picnic tables where you can bring a lunch, and some play equipment. We tried going at about 11:45 am, and it was still packed with a school group. So we went and got subway and brought it back about 12:30, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. So go in the afternoon if you want to avoid school crowds, or call and see if there's any scheduled for that day.
The u-pick field is not treated with pesticides, so we were comfortable eating while we picked! (We probably ate as much as we picked between the five of us, they were delicious!!) A wooden tray of 8 pints was $20, or a bucket (6 pint I think) was $13, which we thought was very reasonable. They also had some canned products for sale, we got some beautiful dark honey and strawberry jam!

10/10, highly...

The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they even had a little langiappe surprise for our kiddos at the end: they each got to plant their own strawberry plant in a cup to bring home! We picked delicious strawberries, learned all about the farm's history and how strawberry plants grow from Mrs. Rhonda, and had a picnic in a shaded area with picnic tables while the kids played on their playground. They had multiple groups coming through at a time, but we all ended up with time in each area with just our own group for the most part which was so nice. We are so very thankful for this wonderful day had at...
Read moreFirst time I've been here. I went with a group of special needs and we all had a great time. The weather was a little chilly but you can't get fresher strawberries than right off the plant. They also sell the strawberries in flats already picked you can choose from if you don't want to pick them yourself. They also sell preserves and strawberry bread which I was told was delicious 😋. I will go again...
