It’s Strawberry Picking Season!
The pre-picked strawberries have been hitting the farmers markets, and they are a great place to pick up a pint or gallon or two, but picking your own is a fun and family friendly activity, sure to delight the kids! May and June are peak strawberry picking season here in Western North Carolina. You have a few options for You Pick (U-Pick) strawberries in the Asheville area, but if you’d like to make a full day of it, check out the “Road Trip” section for farms a little further south from us that are open for u-pick fun, for those willing to make the drive!
