Where To Pick Strawberries At North Fork, Long Island This Summer

BY MICHELINA DA FONTE | NORTHFORKER

There is nothing like a freshly picked North Fork strawberry. Sure, you can purchase a pint from your favorite local farm stand, but the actual act of picking the ripe fruit from the plant adds just another layer of enjoyment.

Here are five farms across the North Fork where you can pick your own strawberries.

Note: U-pick hours of operation are below, however, we suggest you call to confirm on the day of your planned visit. U-pick may be closed due to limited quantities or weather conditions.
