Full strawberry picking season is OPEN … However, we are halting picking until Friday 20 April 2018 due to a lot of picking the last few weeks, rain, and cool nights. Need to give the plants a few days to regenerate. The first few weeks of strawberry season are a little hard to predict so keep following us and we will do our best to let you know about availability and when you can pick. Thanks for understanding.
