Picking Do's & Dont's

Picking Do's
  • Pick only the berries that are fully red. Part the leaves with your hands to look for hidden berries.
  • Select plump, firm, entirely red berries. Small berries are often the most flavorful.
  • Do not jump/walk on the plant beds please go through the walking path only.
  • Watch your knees – be careful not to crush plants or fruit in or along the edge of the row.
  • Help your local farmer remove berries showing rot, sunburn, insect injury, or other defects. Place them between the rows behind you – left in the plants, the decay will quickly spread to other berries.
  • Do gently rinse the berries only as you need them at home.
Picking Dont's
  • Do not pick unripe strawberries. Strawberries do not ripen on their own once they leave the plant.
  • Do not pile them too high: Heaping strawberries more than 5 inches deep will bruise the lower berries.
  • Do not place picked berries in the sunshine longer than necessary. Cool them as soon as possible after selecting them.
  • Don’t wash the berries until you are ready to use them. Washing makes them more prone to spoiling. Pour them out into shallow pans and remove any mushed, soft, or rotting berries.
