Strawberry Picking Spots Around NYC 2025
Living on the East Coast means we get to relish in some classic traditions, and one of them is eagerly counting down the winter days until spring bursts forth with its delightful produce, like strawberries! Strawberry picking is such a fun way to experience the charm of a rural farm, and some are conveniently located near the city, offering kids a fantastic chance to see just where their favorite fruit comes from. In NYC and the nearby areas, there’s a fantastic variety of U-pick farms to explore, and they provide so many other entertaining activities, like picnics, feeding adorable farm animals, and joy-filled hayrides. Get ready for an amazing day out in the sunshine!
Mother Nature is in control! Most farms have updates on their sites announcing that the strawberries are ready to be picked. We recommend checking the website, especially in early June, for any updates on picking dates as well as any additional general information.
