Contact The U-Pick Strawberry Farm In Addison County Before Leaving
If the farm has a website or social media page, check to make sure they are open before leaving your home. It’s no use driving out to a farm, just to find out that they are not open or have delayed their opening date.
You will also want to make sure if tickets are required before coming out. Many u-pick farms are starting to require pre-purchased tickets or scheduled picking times. This also depends on the size of the farm and where they are located.
Depending on the farm you choose, you may have to bring your own containers. Many u-pick farms will offer containers, making it easy to go out and pick as many strawberries as you want, but then you have to put the produce into plastic bags to take home.

Be sure to bring cash as we found that many farms will only accept cash. If the farm has a small market you may want to also buy some goodies to take home.
