Strawberry Picking in Georgia
It's strawberry season in the south, so let's head out to the "Go Pick Em Farms! Your kids will love being able to pick strawberry's right from the plants. Just when you thought your picking strawberry's days were over, spring time arrives in the south and your local Pick Em farms are open for business!
There are strawberry farms located across Georgia, where you can find the largest and sweetest strawberry's to make pies, shakes, jelly or just eat fresh right off the plant. Strawberry picking starts in March and last until May in Georgia. Grab your sunglasses, a pail and let's get to work! Be sure to dress comfortable.
