Hooray! It’s ‘pick your own’ strawberry season

You’ll be picking fruit that is perfectly ripe and ready to eat and it’s a great family activity. It gives you the chance to get outdoors, have fun and show your kids where their food comes from. You’re getting the very best fruit at a great price and some farms even let you eat as many strawberries as you like while picking!

Tips for picking

Make sure you stay sun smart while picking your strawberries. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, a hat and plenty of sunscreen. Closed shoes are also a good idea as you’ll be walking around a farm environment.
