Closed for the Season

After a great season, the strawberry patch is closed for the year. We have experienced a torrential amount of rain.  Strawberries don't do well with a lot of rain, especially this late in the season.  There are no longer any quality, ripe berries in the patch, so we are closed for the season.  We appreciate all the support you've shown us throughout the year! Enjoy your summer! 🌞

Last Two Days of the Season

It's hard to believe that the season is drawing close to an end, but summertime is upon us.  We are so thankful for everyone who has come out this season to make it happen!  We'll be open only two more days this season - Wednesday, June 9th, 8AM - 6PM and Saturday, June 12th, 8AM - Noon.  End of Season BOGO - both days!  Pick your own strawberries - Buy Basket, Get 1 Free!  Grab a friend & come on out. πŸ˜ŠπŸ“ 

Looking ahead, just wanted to give you a heads up that we will not be opening for blackberries or apples.  We chose to take out nearly all of them to allow for more room to grow strawberries.  This gives us maximum flexibility as we continue to grow the size of our strawberry patch.

Our u-pick strawberries are $10/basket, cash or check only, on the honor system.  14489 Bethel Church Lane, Smithfield, VA 23430.  Thanks for pickin' us!

OPEN Sunday, June 6th, 8AM - 6PM

Our u-pick strawberry patch will be OPEN Sunday, June 6th, 8AM - 5PM. Despite the recent rain, we still have ripe berries in the patch. As we draw closer to the end of the season, it takes longer to fill your baskets. Some of the strawberries are hidden in the canopy. Your best option is to start at the back of the far patch (either towards the left or the center, in the Sweet Charlies) and work your way back up towards the gate.

PS - SHOUT OUT to the folks who found an egg with a coupon for a free basket of berries in the patch. There's still one more in the patch! πŸ‘€

Our u-pick strawberry patch in Smithfield will be OPEN on Saturday, 8AM - 6PM.  There are quite a few ripe berries in the patch, but it'll still take longer to pick a basket than it did earlier in the season.  Tip: open up the canopy of the plant to find berries that may be hidden inside instead of ones just on the edges.  The berries have been picked more extensively in some areas than in others, so if you're in a part that doesn't have many berries, try another area - explore the whole patch 😊

OPEN Sunday, May 16th, 9AM - 5PM

It's the perfect day to come pick some strawberries!  We're open Sunday, May 16th until 5PM.  I picked some this morning for breakfast and had some extras, so I froze them for later.  Here's how we freeze strawberries: 





ProTip: Use a small measuring spoon to cap the berries - wastes almost no strawberry and even your littlest kitchen helpers can safely participate 😊. Shout out to Cousin Babs for teaching me that πŸ₯° 


I just put it on a single layer of parchment paper and put in the freezer.  Tomorrow morning, I'll take them out and put them into a ziplock bag.  They'll keep for 6-12 months in the freezer, but we always eat ours up way quicker than that.  They're perfect for strawberry smoothies - our favorite yummy treat on a hot summer day πŸ“πŸ“

PS - I picked these berries in the back patch, right side (Ruby Junes).  The ends of the rows have LOADS of berries on them πŸ™‚
