My grandkids love this place. And also the pumpkin patch. We always go a couple times a year

Not worth it. Required a $5 entrance fee plus a purchase of a bucket ($10 or $20 bucket options) for a ONE YEAR OLD that was being held by his mother. Staff is rude. Most of the play equipment is old and rusty. read more

G O! Face painting, Disney characters, games, slides, nature walk, corn maze etc. it's $12 a kids and you're here for hours. The whole family has a good time here! read more

This is a PSA for the strawberry picking schedule. When I called the business a couple weeks ago, I was quoted $10 a bucket on picking strawberries. Upon arrival to the farm yesterday morning, we reported to the stand to pay and was handed a clamshell container (kind you find in grocery stores). Cost was $10 for each plastic container to fill with strawberries up to being able to close the container lid (no overfill). I saw frustrated people walk to their vehicles in the parking lot holding plastic containers. There was a large patch of plants to choose from, but it's the end of the strawberry season. Most berries were mushy, decimated by bugs, and hard to find enough to make a full clamshell container. There's a "no refund" sign at the stand, so you enter at your own risk and deal with what's left. We made a two-hour round trip for a plastic container. The place is probably better at the beginning of the season (early April) to pick strawberries, but call them about what the container-policy is before you plan to visit. read more

Mrs Heather's Strawberry Patch - This was $10 from 5/4/25 - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Albany, Louisiana

$10 for a bucket. We shouldn't have but we drove all the way there and couldn't go back and ruin the day for the kids. Within 48 hours every single strawberry had mold or was rotten. Never again. Also, it took forever to pick the bucket because they're so over picked. Didn't really matter though because the woman at the counter told us we "picked too many" and took off all the berries in the bucket until it was level. Buyer beware or sneak your bucket out the door. read more

I was very curious about this place after I saw some pics online and I thought my little guy ( his 2) would enjoy picking strawberries. I went on their website and noticed you couldn't book a time slot- so I guess you just show up. The drive is about an hour a way or so depending on traffic . There are 2 parking lots - 1 right by the strawberry farm and one slightly further away that requires you to walk on a small muddy path ( yes thank goodness for rain boots). Upon entering I noticed there were no mask policy. The young ladies taking your cash upfront had no masks on either. I didn't see a credit card machine- so thank goodness I had some cash. They have small buckets for $10 and slightly bigger ones for $15. They also have double crates for $20 I think. We decided on a big bucket and ahead we went to pick strawberries. Even though it was pretty full- I don't think I crossed paths with loads of people while picking. There are loads of strawberry patches to choose from. However. Finding really good ones can take a while. Lots of bending and looking. Also after a big rain storm- the strawberries might have bruised a lot. They have a really cute kids play area but it's completely unusable after a storm. Sadly! However they have like an open barn with kids tractors and things which my little guy loved. The toilets are clean but only one toilet has a door. The other curtain? Which is very impractical especially as the wind blows it open. Like hello world- see my do my business. Not sure why they wouldn't just add a door. They also have a little shop we get you can buy strawberries ( already picked) , jam. Strawberry short cake and strawberry smoothie. They also have little picnic tables. While it was a nice activity - its not so great going after it rained a lot. Picture walking on very very large muddy puddles. Also the strawberries - well the good ones are better hard to find. Maybe we will try again when the weather gets better and then at least my little guy can enjoy the play area too. read more

I went to Mrs. Heather's strawberry farm this past weekend and had a good time. I took my nieces and nephew. The prices were reasonable. When you walk in you're asked which container you'd like for your strawberries. The bigger the container, the more you pay. Picking our own strawberries was a fun experience. There were little attractions and playground equipment for smaller kids. There were some calves for the kids to pet too. There offered food items to buy. They served jam, water, smoothies, and chocolate covered strawberries. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that I wish this place served more food. We had a pretty long ride to and from New Orleans so it would've been nice to be able to get some snacks to hold us over. read more

I have been here in the past with my grandson and it was a wonderful experience. I just went for a field trip with my granddaughter and it was a nightmare! There were way too many schools there! The place was so packed it was hard to get around in the kids area. I worried about the safety of the children the entire time and it takes away from the fun experience. Bathroom lines were extremely long and so were many of the activities. I purchased a flat of strawberries which were very expensive! They looked good on top but the remainder of them were very sad looking. When Mrs Heather spoke to the children she had to yell and was very hard to understand. A simple megaphone or microphone would have solved that issue. I hope things improve so that I can continue going there. read more

We had a blast. We called ahead to see if they were open and they said they were and had plenty of berries. They warned us that we may want to wear rain boots due to recent heavy rain in the area. We took the whole family, but they only charge you for what you pick (not by the person) by the half flat and flat. If you would rather not pick, flats are available for purchase. After picking a flat of strawberries, the kids enjoyed feeding animals, playing on the playground, and the kids zipline. read more

Never again... Waited in traffic an hour and a half to overpay to wait in line 30 minutes to use a bathroom. Just thought it was bad till I saw the line of traffic to get there when we were on our way out. Crazy anybody could say they enjoyed this place. read more

So worth the drive from wherever you are. The strawberry patch is a load of fun for kids and adults. Picking strawberries to take home while snacking on ones in the moment is great. They have lots of games and contraptions for the kids for after the picking is done. If you can grab a 10 pack of chocolate covered berries for only $5 before you head out too! read more

Today I came for the third time in as many years and I'm left with the same magical feeling I got from my very first visit. If I had my choice, this would be the only way j would buy my strawberries. How awesome is it to be able to walk through fields of strawberries and have your choice of which ones to pick and which ones to leave? The kids also really enjoy picking out their strawberries. After picking the kids will be able to enjoy quite a few activities. There's swings, little bikes, water races, zip lines, and a huge balloon looking thinking that comes off the ground that they can jump on. It's truly a ton of fun. Not only can you pick your strawberries but you can also purchase strawberries that are already picked (saves you a hassle especially if you don't have a little one that would like to do it), chocolate covered strawberries (10 for $5 can't be beat), strawberry jam, drinks, and snacks for the kids. You can also host birthday parties here. I had such a great time here I hope to get back before the end of the season! read more

Only 30 minutes from Baton Rouge and worth the drive. So many fun outdoor things for the kids to play with that it seems they never get to try them all. Lots of photo oops too! We chose to pick strawberries first, and although they were beautiful in the patch, be prepared to use them quickly as they are already so ripe. Also, look around to see picking options as we didn't even realize there was another patch on the other side of the barn that was barely picked through. We always make sure to buy (and devour immediately) their chocolate covered strawberries, and you can buy other goodies like strawberry jam and a flat of the strawberries they picked. Both this and Mrs. Heather's Pumpkin Farm have become annual traditions for our family. I'll have my recipes ready for when we get our strawberries home next year to put them to good use ASAP next year...fresh strawberry daiquiris, anyone?? read more

We went here to pick strawberry because they were still open for the season and something for the kiddos to do. 5 bucks for a plastic container is totally over price to pick your own we brought 4 container wasn't able to filled them up with good quality strawberries. Should have closed last week for the season. The quality was not up to part! Lesson learned not coming when they say about to closed for the season!!! Better off going to Costco or target instead ! read more

Perfect place to let the kids roam, eat delicious strawberries and soak in some sun. The boys had a great time and we loaded up. Lots of strawberries and a couple different fields to pick from. Overall, a great experience and a fun way to start spring/summer. read more

I freakin' love this place! I've been for pumpkin season and strawberry season and it's just so much fun for young kids. Make the drive, pack a lunch and a go-cup and you're set for the day. I mean, my kid keeps herself busy all day here. Now remember, they do not sell food and drinks... I was there one time and they were selling bags of chips but that's it. Just remember to go with plenty of drinks and food. Picking your own strawberry flat or going for pumpkins and Halloween festivities, you can't lose. It's a bit of a hike for me since I'm from New Orleans but totally worth it and you just make it an all day event. Plenty of picnic tables to eat lunch and rest in the shade, you can do unlimited activities all day and you don't pay anything extra. It's awesome. read more

Mrs. Heather's Strawberry Patch is owned by the same Mrs Heather who runs the pumpkin patch down the road in fall, but it's open only during spring strawberry season and is located at a different site in the same general area. The basic deal is- you pay for a flat or half-flat and go pick strawberries until it's full. Our 5-yr-old loved it...he loved finding perfectly shaped berries and funny-looking berries and searching through the plants to pick his own. The place has tons of plants- there are a few different sections, so if one is full of kids picking, you can go to a less-busy patch and find plenty of unpicked berries. We went on a Thursday mid-morning and there were a few school groups there picking in a couple of the patches, so we went in a different one. The place also has lots of activities for the kids- face painting, a kid-sized zipline, a bouncy giant pillow thing (no clue what to call this- it's like a bouncy house with no house, just a hill-sized bouncy surface), sand area with lots of construction trucks, swings, a merry-go-round, etc. There's also plenty of seating, including picnic tables if you want to bring a lunch and shaded areas where parents can hang out and watch the kids pick berries or play in the play area. There were no characters there when we went, but sometimes they have the Easter bunny and Strawberry Shortcake there. All of the activities are free- the only cost is paying to pick berries. They have a little stand that also sells chocolate-covered strawberries and strawberry jam. In terms of entertaining the kid, it was worth the drive from New Orleans. And we ended up with a flat of strawberries to turn into jam, ice cream, shortcake, smoothies and whatever else we dream up over the next few days. During the height of the season, they're almost certain to have enough to fill a flat of berries, but in the early and late parts of strawberry season, you might want to call first and see if they have berries ripe- they sometimes don't have enough for flats but enough for people to pick a pint or two. read more

This is my favorite strawberries picking farm. Perfect place for kids exploring the farm live, experiencing the joy of harvest.

Horrible customer service!!!! I called ahead of time to inquire if the strawberries were ready to be picked and if they were a good size. They told me yes. When I arrived, I was not informed that the strawberries were small, rotten, and sparse. They only informed me of the $3 credit card charge. My daughter and I could not find any strawberries to pick. I asked if we could just purchase a flat. They said they do not have any strawberries. I asked for a refund since they did not have strawberries. I was told no and offered a squash and a zucchini. I decline and asked to speak to Ms. Heather. Her employee put her on speaker phone. She yelled at me and stated that her employees disclose the condition of the strawberries to customers. I told her they did not disclose any information other than the credit card fee. She continued to yell at me. I informed her that her employee had her on speaker phone and her other customers can hear her. Ms. Heather then abruptly hung up the phone. Such a shame how unprofessionally she conducted herself. read more
