Strawberries
April - May (dependent upon Mother Nature)
At Wegmeyer Farms, we provide a unique opportunity to enjoy delicious, juicy strawberries “as fresh as it gets” through our pick-your-own fields. We also offer pre-picked berries. Please call ahead to place your order.
Our strawberries are grown on raised plastic beds for easy picking and clean berries. Berries are picked in our one-gallon buckets that are complimentary to PYO Club members and $1 a piece for non-members.
Strawberry Care Tips
Keep them cool. If you are traveling for more than 30 minutes to our farm to pick berries, be sure to keep them cool on the ride home. Consider bringing a cooler.
Store them in the refrigerator, preferably covered, and use in one to two days for best flavor.
Do not rinse the berries until just before you’re ready to eat them or use them in a recipe. Rinsing or soaking them causes them to get soggy.
Leave the caps on the berries until you’re ready to use them. This keeps them juicier.
