Spring is in the air and strawberries are found everywhere! Be it at grocery stores or farmer's markets, this fruit is grabbed fast for its freshness and best value.

Ever wonder the fun to pick your own fruits as much as you like? In Texas, there are farms that offer the harvesting experience for those (like me) who are longing to pull up our sleeves, sink our feet on the dirt aisles to search for the fresh fruits and vegetables. We happened to make a drive to Marble Falls for wildflower viewing and detoured to Sweet Berry Farm to pick the ripe strawberry! Guess we did right at the season of top quality strawberry harvest!


Fruits or vegetables harvest schedule may fluctuate from year to year, but the following provides a crude estimate when one could have a harvesting adventure at Sweet Berry Farm.

• Strawberries -  early March to mid May
• Blackberries -  mid May through June
• New Potatoes -  May
• Onions - late April and May
• Tomatoes - late May through June
• Pumpkins & Gourds - October
