Some of the "BEST" Strawberry Picking Farms in New Jersey Picked By You

Strawberry picking facts, thanks to robintidefarms.com:

**June - August (the beginning of August) is the best time for picking the sweetest and juiciest.

**Always check with the farm you're heading out too to see how the fields are the day you want to go.

**There is no shade when picking strawberries, bring sunscreen, water, and even a hat might be helpful.

**Please, bring your own buckets or baskets. Most farms do not give them out.

**Weekdays are sometimes better than the crowded weekends at the strawberry farm.

**Always look for the brightest berry, they're the sweetest.

**You are encouraged to do a taste test along the way.

**If you're wondering how to pick - simply pinch the stem just above the berry and hold it between your forefinger and thumb. A short firm tug while bending/twisting the berry stem slightly, will pull the berry off.

**Plump berries are the best to pick.

**HAVE FUN while picking, taste them, and enjoy.
