Fresh Picked Strawberries!

Fresh picked strawberries! Yum! These are from Smolak Farms in North Andover.

They also have an annual strawberry festival, as well as hayrides, an ice cream shop (Treadwells), and a bake shop! So grab a coffee and a doughnut before you head over to pick them!

Picking your own berries is very fun, I really enjoyed it. Just remember to mark your calendar, and go around mid-June to enjoy the best.

I think it's better to go during a sunny week, rather than a rainy week, because the strawberries are filled with water (very juicy!) if there are rainy days. But either way, these are very fresh and smell amazing as you're filling up the basket.
