Pick Your Own Strawberries at These Four Farms Near Dallas/Fort Worth
One of my favorite outings as a child was going to pick berries at a fellow classmate’s property. I remember my shirt was stained purple at the end of the trip from all the blackberries I had accumulated. I am sure I ate more than I actually picked. 😝
I knew I would want my daughter to have a similar fun experience, so we went to pick strawberries in the spring of 2022. It was at a farm, so not in the wild per se, but it was a memorable time I’ll never forget!
Do you want to indulge in some fresh, delicious, juicy strawberries? The following are four farms where you can pick your own strawberries with your family! I included pricing, as well as where to follow them on social media so you can see when they are open and just as important, closed/picked out. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes so you can have a great time at the farm!

The name says it all, only strawberries at this farm, so they are open when the fruit is in season. It’s very important to check their Facebook page for updates, as they have limited open days and can sell out fast.
So, besides just stuffing them in your mouth, what can you do with your freshly picked fruit? I enjoy making strawberry jam and love this simple, 3 ingredient recipe from The Busy Baker!
🍓Happy picking!🍓
