It’s Time to Pick Strawberries!
If your family loves fresh fruit as much as my family does then the start of strawberry season must bring you great joy! There are a number of pick-your-own strawberries farms in northern New Jersey, grab the kids and a few KEY items and get ready for a bucket of sweet, juicy deliciousness.
A few tips before you go:
Strawberry season can start as early as mid-May in South Jersey and varieties of berries, and local weather conditions and can range anywhere from mid-May to mid-June. PLEASE Check the farm’s times to pick strawberries on their website or call for hours and availability.
The strawberry fields have no shelter so sunscreen, hats and a filled water bottle are essential!
