Strawberry Picking Northeast Wisconsin Feb 2016

We are just waiting for spring to arrive to begin Strawberry Picking Northeast Wisconsin.  After a long winter of being dormant, the strawberry plants will start growing and producing buds, that will turn into blossoms.  These strawberry blossoms will turn into fresh juicy sweet strawberries that we all can enjoy.  Who doesn’t love strawberry picking northeast Wisconsin.  We just have to wait for some warmer weather from old Mother Nature and before you know it our Fresh Tender Asparagus will be popping thru the soil and ready for picking and your families table. Can’t wait, as we all been having a craving for some fresh grilled Asparagus here at the Farm. As the Asparagus season is going in full tilt, which only means that those juicy, red, sweet Strawberries are not that far away from being picked by berry lovers from all over. Strawberry picking Northeast Wisconsin usually starts about mid-June and only last 2 to 3 weeks. We offer both pre picked and pick your own strawberries during our season. Strawberries are sold by the pound for you pick and by the quart for we pick strawberries. The fields from the u pick strawberries are accessible from your vehicle, can’t get any easier than that. The Strawberry Farm is located a short distant from the Fox Valley, only 20 minutes from Green Bay WI, 25 minutes for Strawberry Picking Appleton WI, 18 miles from Clintonville, and a very short drive from Hortonville, Neenah, and Suamico areas.
