A friend a work told me about this place after over hearing me talking about wanting to finally go Strawberry picking. The farm is listed as 'Fairview Sod Farm' which if your a non-local like myself wouldn't have even found this place by doing a typically search for Strawberry picking.
We went there on 5/20 which Waze got us there very easily and pulled up to a nice sized sign which further confirmed we were at the right place. We turned in and saw a small Booth that had 'Strawberries' so we pulled up. Met up with the owners wife who was really nice and she gave us the breakdown as to where on the farm to go (1 min drive), what section of the SB field was ready for picking and the price which was ($1.75lb at the time of writing. She also explained she could either provide a box for .75c which can be used each time we visited (yearly too if the box holds up) or stated we could use your own bag. We opted for the box.
The SB field was pretty big to me and since I've never been I had no reference all I knew is that there was an abundance of plants and we quickly gathered up 6lbs of the best tasting Strawberries we've ever had. It must be a freshness thing, because they are damn good! I'm not saying that they are the best farm in DE, but it is definitely better than store bought berries and good enough that I have no issues recommending them.
We will definitely be going there this coming weekend and keep visiting as long as SB are available this season ...as well as in the future! read more
