As much as I loath Spring for all the pollen and allergy-induce sneezes, I am looking forward to one of our favorite activity during Spring. Pick-Your-Own Strawberry season is here!!!
Strawberry picking season usually runs from Mid April till June (depends on weather of that year) and blueberry picking season starts up around June or July (stay tune for a list of pick your own blueberry farms).
So I have done some digging and found several pick-your-own farms around Atlanta. There are probably more that are not in the list. I pick farms that are within one hour drive from Atlanta. If you live in the suburb, your driving time might be less or more depends on where you live.
Also before packing the kids and heading out to the farm, it’s best to call them in advance (on that day). Because you will never know if they are closed that day or if there is any change in their crops.

On a similar note, Berry Patch Farms in the Woodstock/Canton area has pick your own blueberries!
We’ve been to the Adams Farms before and it’s wonderful! Sometimes the owners can be a little grumpy but killing them with kindness seems to work wonders :)
Thank you, Dennis!
I will do a round up of Blueberry picking farm in the next few weeks when the season starts (probably around Jun)
Thank you for the input Candi. It’s good to hear about your experience. :)
Sad that those of us n the NW area don’t have any. I do agree that Berry Patch Farms is great for blueberries (and pumpkins!) but I don’t think I am willing to drive over an hour to pick strawberries.
Any idea if any offer organic pick your own?
