---------- Strawberry Season is Over for 2008 ----------
Come back to pick in Spring 2009!

Pick Your Own Strawberries

Come Pick-Your-Own from the area's largest and oldest strawberry farm. Take a break in the country and enjoy fresh air! Belevedere Plantation's strawberries are renown for their flavor-infused quality.

All Pick-Your-Own customers take a hayride to the Strawberry Patch. During the hayride, a farmer will share the history of Belvedere Plantation and tell you how our strawberries are grown.

Never picked berries? No problem! Our friendly farmers will place you in your own row and gladly show you how.

Fresh Picked - in the Plantation Market

We have fresh picked strawberries in our Market. Demand for our sun-ripened berries keeps our picking crew hopping! With more folks wanting their berries fresh picked, demand can sometimes exceed our capacity to pick them — especially on the weekends.

No farm admission fee required for shopping in the Plantation Market!


Strawberry Prices & Volume Discounts

Pick-Your Own ... $2.39/pound

In the Plantation Market

Fresh baked pies are featured in the Market on weekends. We also have jams, jellies and local honey.

Good to Know ...

Our berries are very weather sensitive! The picking season is short and berries must be picked with a day or two or ripening. The old farmer's adage to "make hay while the sun shines" is the best advice for planning your visit to the Strawberry Patch.

Strawberry Recipes

We have a collection of strawberry recipes that we'd like to share with you, and they will be published soon in the Belvedere Bulletin, our website's new blog.
