TOM’s Fresh-Picked Strawberries

Strawberry Season is over for 2024. Thanks to everyone who came out.

Strawberry Picking Instructions

When you arrive, head straight to the charming windmill to check in. There, you’ll receive a wristband that shows the number of people in your picking group, along with boxes for your delicious strawberries.

After check-in, hop aboard the wagon for a ride to the strawberry fields. Once you’ve enjoyed picking to your heart’s content, make your way to the greenhouse for checkout. At checkout, you’ll pay for your freshly picked strawberries and the field access admission.

We are excited to offer you a delightful strawberry picking experience. To help maintain and improve our fields, we are introducing a Field Access Pass.

Strawberry Picking Hours & Guidelines:

  • Daily: 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM (Last wagon departs at 1:45 PM)
  • Check-In: At the windmill (west of the market)
  • Checkout: Inside the market.
  • Proper Dress for Picking: Be sure to check the weather forecast and dress appropriately. Although we use straw to help reduce mud and dirt, wearing older shoes or boots is advisable. Straw can be scratchy, so we recommend long pants for children who might be sensitive. To prevent staining your clothes with berry juice, consider wearing items you don’t mind getting a bit messy.
  •  Berry Picking Tips: Select your strawberries with care. Make sure to leave the cap attached to the berry. Look for berries that are a vibrant red color; those that are orange or slightly green are not yet ripe. Remember, strawberries won’t ripen after being picked. The sweetness of the fruit is not determined by its size.
