I love strawberry picking and so does my son. Hes three and he can pretty much independently pick good ones. He feels accomplished. I dont get ppl who dont like to be hot and dirty! Get outside!


Squatting for an hour, inverted, in the blazing full sun isn’t fun

Strawberry picking is not fun. It's hot and sweaty and you get dirt all over yourself. I used to spend a few weeks every summer at a family farm and picking any kind of berry was miserable.

But they taste so good!


That is why God invented grocery stores or roadside fruit and vegetable stands.

I'll never forget being excited to go strawberry picking during the pandemic because we just wanted any activity to get out of the house. The whole family was cracking up 10 minutes in because we realized it was miserable. It's a funny family memory now, but yeah, it is the worst.

Friend of mine with a preschooler was at Butlers today strawberry picking and said the crop is not good this season. The several days of rain ruined it apparently.

Not sure if any are open on Mondays. Look for farms closer to you and follow their web page or social media for opening days / times. My kids enjoy picking strawberries, but they also like them eating the strawberries they bring, and the farm usually has either strawberry ice cream or short cakes, feeding animals, so can be a fun short outing.
