    U-pick strawberries

    U-pick strawberries

    If you're going picking, it's wise to call ahead to make sure the fields are open for the season and not either too wet or picked out. U-pick strawberries range from about $2.50 to $4.50 a quart this season, and strawberries already picked are running about $4.50 to $7 a quart at farm stands.
