🍓 How to Pick the Best Berries:

• Choose berries that are bright red, plump, and fully ripe—strawberries do not ripen after picking.
• Avoid berries with green or white areas, as they won’t sweeten off the vine.

🍓 After You Pick:

• Strawberries are delicate! Keep them cool and only rinse right before eating or using to extend freshness.

💲 Pricing for 2025:

• $4.50 per pound
• All picking containers will be provided. No outside containers allowed.
• Cash, credit, or debit accepted.

🍓 Important Picking Guidelines:

• All fruit picked must be paid for—please wait until after checkout to enjoy your berries.
• Walk only in designated pathways; please do not walk on or between the strawberry rows.
• No pets allowed for food safety reasons. ADA service dogs may accompany guests to the field's edge but are not permitted in picking areas.

🚶 Getting to the Field:

Enjoy a short walk to our scenic picking fields.

👒 What to Wear & Bring:

• Closed-toe shoes are a must.
• Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
• Bring water—or purchase it on-site to stay hydrated.
