Strawberry picking is a great way to catch those spring feelings! There’s just something so fun about spending the day filling up those little white baskets with strawberries, it’s kind of how we always know summer is almost here! It’s such a fun activity for the whole family and many of these farms offer a variety of other fruits and vegetables ready for picking, making each trip a new discovery. And let’s not forget the little extras that make these outings even more enjoyable—like quaint farm shops stocked with local goods and playful areas designed just for kids, giving them a place to unleash some energy after all that careful picking.
