HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT AT REESOR’S PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES

• Straw between the rows and under the berries which makes it more comfortable for you and keeps the strawberries cleaner when it rains

• Convenient field-side parking

• Hand sanitizer for use before and after picking

STRAWBERRY PICKING TIPS

• Try to pick your berries with the long green stem attached. Choose deep red berries.

• It is the colour, not the size that determines how sweet the berries will be. Green berries do not ripen after being picked.

• Gently place the berries in your basket to avoid bruising.

• If you’re not going to eat all of your strawberries right away at home, sort and then store your strawberries, unwashed, with their stems on in a shallow, loosely covered container in your fridge.

• Just before eating wash the berries and then remove their stems, so the water doesn't enter the berry and dilute the flavour. Washing ahead of time makes them more prone to spoiling.

Before or after picking your strawberries please visit Reesor’s Farm Market
