Strawberries grow low to the ground. Kneeling and sitting on the ground may be necessary.
Ripe berries will hide under the foliage. Lightly brushing leaves to the side will expose more berries.
Pinch the stems with your fingernails. Pulling the berry can hurt the plant and bruise the strawberry.
Only pick the darkest, completely red berries. Unripe berries will have green tips or be green on the underside Strawberries will not ripen after picking.
Strawberries should only be washed right before eating. Berries can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few days but will not keep longer then that. Strawberries may be frozen after they are washed, hulled and stored in an air tight container, vacuum sealed if possible.
The fields aren’t typically muddy, but light colored clothing may be stained by the red berries.
Sunscreen and water are recommended.
For your safety, closed toed shoes are required.
