But, when compared to the delicious fruit found at a local farm, grocery store strawberries are only a cheap imitation!
To help you find a local U Pick or Pick Your Own farm I've compiled a list of farm registry websites. Just click on the links below and search for your area. If you still can't find a local farm then google "u pick strawberry farm YOUR TOWN, YOUR STATE" and see what comes up.

My little hometown in Arkansas used to be a major source of strawberries for the country! I remember going strawberry picking as a child, and it was such fun. Now there are no remaining U-pick farms anywhere in the area. It's a sad thought...
Ann, THAT is sad! No U-pick farms in your area? How can that be?! You have my sympathies!!!
We actually do have a couple of places down here where we live now, about three hours from my hometown. I had just been asking around in my hometown for a friend of mine who's up there a lot this summer - she wanted to go strawberry picking for something to do while she was up there. It broke my heart when I found out there wasn't anywhere to go anymore. Down here in the southern part of the state we have farms for just about every growing season!
