Pre-Picked Berries: If you would like to get your strawberries already picked, we highly recommend that you call the farm and place an order. We cannot guarantee pre-picked berries unless you call and speak with one of our team members to place your order. We cannot take orders through Facebook, email, or on the answering machine.
Picked Out: If a lot of people come out and pick a lot of berries, there may not be any ripe berries left to pick later in the day. If this happens, we will close the farm before our scheduled closing time. This does not mean we are out of berries for the season! Berries ripen daily, so be sure to ask when we plan to open back up for picking!
Closed for Ripening: If we are heavily picked on any given day, we often have to be closed the next day or two to give the half-ripe berries time to fully ripen.

On the drive home, keep berries cool and take them inside immediately to a cool place. Protect them from heat and direct sunlight. Do not leave them in the car! Handle berries gently. Do not rinse the berries until you are ready to eat them. Rinse berries in cold water. Do not allow berries to soak. Leave the caps on the berries until after you rinse them. Strawberries stored with the green caps on stay firm longer than those without the caps.
We recommend keeping fresh strawberries refrigerated rather than on the counter at room temperature. Place fresh strawberries in shallow containers, cover them, and place in refrigerator. It’s best to store them only 1 or 2 deep in a shallow container. For best flavor after refrigerating, allow strawberries to reach room temperature before serving.
