Come June, strawberry picking is a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy in Massachusetts. It’s fun, great exercise, and you can’t get any fresher than U-Pick/Pick-Your-Own! Strawberry picking generally starts beginning to mid-June and ends mid-July. Below you’ll find a list of great farms in Massachusetts that offer strawberry picking.
Keep in mind, the strawberry season may change quickly due to weather and crop abundance. To make sure you have the most accurate crop information on the day you choose to head to the farm, we recommend calling or checking online ahead of time. Also, be sure to ask whether you need to bring your own containers to put the strawberries in, or if they provide them for you!
Happy Strawberry Picking!

FREEZING TIPS
Wash berries and drain in colander. Remove stems and slice (or crush) berries as you stem them. If additional sweetness is desired, add 3/4 cup of sugar to 4 cups of sliced berries. Stir and let stand until the sugar dissolves (just a few minutes). Place in freezer containers leaving 1/2 inch head space for expansion and put immediately into freezer.
