Good to Know
A few things that’ll make your visit smoother.
We open at 8:30 AM during strawberry season. No set closing time — once the berries are picked, the field closes for the day. Early arrivals get the best pickings and the coolest weather.
All picking must be done in our “Buskets”, purchased on-site. This ensures fast checkouts, fair pricing and berry quality for everyone.
You’ll be walking through rows of plants. Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended. Leave the flip-flops in the car.
We love animals, but please leave your pets at home. Pets are not permitted in the picking fields for the safety of other guests and the crop.
The field is fully outdoors with little shade. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water — especially on hot days.
Children 2 and under are free with a paying adult. The Large Family Rate ($20) covers 2 adults and 4 or more kids. Come as a family, leave with berries and memories.
