STRAWBERRYPICKINGKC
May brings the start of strawberry picking time! Visit the Strawberry Picking Guide on KCParent.com for current picking times and hours.
Strawberry Picking Tips:
- This is a MUST! Call ahead to verify picking times, as they vary from farm to farm. Picking is weather-dependent, and many patches are popular and picked early.
- Remember comfortable shoes (you will be walking in the fields) and wear sunscreen.
- Bring bottled water and pack a picnic if the farm allows.

This was a tough year between cold weather that quickly turned to HOT weather and rain... lots and lots of rain (our creek is currently flooded... really flooded)! We were only open for strawberries for 13 days, which is our shortest season we've ever had. We want to thank everyone who was able to come out and enjoy some berries this year, and we sincerely apologize for those of you that missed our short strawberry season. We hope to see you all soon when our blueberries and blackberries are ripe and ready! Thank you for your patience so far this year; we know we've missed a lot of Facebook messages, emails, and we're behind on sending out newsletters. We have been short staffed, but hopefully with most of our crew being out of school now, we will be able to stay on top of things a little better!
