Harvest-Your-Own Strawberries

Strawberry harvest begins in early June and picking continues through mid-July. Hours are variable depending on weather and picking conditions.

Please call Farmer Jones at (203) 929-8425

During Strawberry Season, check our Picking Conditions for details.

Come enjoy our sweet, fresh, luscious, sun ripened strawberries! Strawberries are the first fruits of the summer and the season lasts only three to four short weeks. Strawberries are very nutritious, easy to freeze, and great for pies, shortcake, daiquiris, jams or fresh eating. See our great recipes.

Before you head out to the farm, we like to remind our visitors that harvesting strawberries can be a physically demanding activity. Please come suitably attired, with appropriate footgear. The Very Merry Berry Ferry will deliver you to the field, but be prepared to walk to where the best picking is in the field. Bring a hat and sunscreen for the sunny days. Many visitors also bring a bottle of drinking water to sip on while they pick. The farm does provide water, but a personal container is recommended.

Children are welcome in the strawberry field under parental supervision, provided they act responsibly and follow the picking guidelines.

Our strawberries are sold by the pound. The farm provides free picking containers, boxes, and our scales are set back to the weight of the box. A 30-cent credit is given to those who recycle their Jones Family Farms berry box.
