U-Pick Tips:
-
Follow our social media pages for the most current updates.
-
No appointments are necessary to pick strawberries! Just drive right out to the fields and someone will greet you at the Berry Shack and get you started.
-
Select berries that are red, ripe and firm. Berries do not ripen after they are picked.
-
Please dress comfortably! Wear loose clothing to stay cool and please know you WILL get dirty!
-
Tennis shoes are the best choice in footwear. Hats and Sunscreen are a must!
-
You may want to bring mosquito/fly repellent just in case.
-
Try to pick berries with their tops still on them. When tops are removed, they tend to lose their vitamin content and get waterlogged when rinsed.
-
Please try to pick every ripe berry from each plant rather than jumping from plant to plant and row to row.
-
Keep your eyes peeled for the berries hidden underneath the foliage!
-
Fresh strawberries off the vine are very perishable and should be used or preserved soon after harvesting.
Tips for Storage
-
Do not wash berries until you are ready to use/consume them!
-
If you need to wait a day or two before you can get to using/storing them, then try to keep them in the same container you picked them in and keep them cool in the refrigerator.
-
When you are ready to use them, wash them carefully in a pan or sink of cool water.
-
DO NOT LET THEM SOAK or they will become waterlogged!
-
Remove them immediately after rinsing and drain in a colander or spread out on a paper towel.
-
Dry them off as much as possible, keeping them from soaking up the excess water.
-
Hull or remove the stem after you are finished rinsing.
-
For long term storage, we recommend freezing the berries: Place the berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and place in the freezer until hard. Then transfer the berries into heavy duty freezer bags or prepared containers and store in the freezer.
