Pick your own strawberry farms on Long Island
This is a modal window.
For berry lovers it's peak season for a u-pick experience. June marks the beginning of the season when red, juicy, sweet strawberries are ripe for the picking at Long Island farms.
At Wickham's Fruit Farm in Cutchogue, Laurie McBride, the farm stand manager says, "We have a large selection of strawberries for picking, featuring eight varieties over the course of the month, including cabot, malwina, which is a late variety, and the early Wendy variety that is ready to harvest in early June." At Patty's Bunches and Berries in Mattituck, expect a variety of strawberries that can be picked at different times throughout the season. "As the berries ripen, you'll find some varieties early, middle and late June, because we plant an intentional rotating crop, so there's something for everyone," owner Patty DiVello says.
These locations are now open for picking. Remember to call ahead and confirm, as u-pick is weather dependent.
