YOU-PICK STRAWBERRIES IN HAMPTON ROADS

YOU-PICK STRAWBERRIES IN HAMPTON ROADS

There are strawberries galore in Hampton Roads, here is a list of local places you can go to Pick Your Own Strawberries with the Kids. My kids LOVE picking their own berries.

**Make sure to always call or check websites/Facebook before heading out to pick, even if locations are open for the season they may close for weather or if they are picked out for the day!**

Which is your favorite local spot to pick strawberries in Hampton Roads?

To say that Spring 2020 is a different type of season would be an understatement.  Please, if you choose to head out to the farm be sure to practice the social distancing and safety guidelines set by the farms and local government.
