Strawberries 2022 is now over. We had some amazing strawberries to pick this May 2022. Thank you for all the families who came to pick with us with our picking appointments or as walk ins.
We are starting the process of getting the field ready to replant in Fall of 2022 working towards strawberries for picking in May of 2023.
If you just found our farm-its nice to have you. We communicate many details about our planting and strawberry season on our Facebook page-Country Road House and Berries.
We schedule strawberry picking appointments on our website and usually load these appointments in Mid to late April. We pick strawberries Mid to late May each year. We also allow folks to order our strawberry baskets and we will pick them for you.
See you in May 2023!
Listed below are some helpful notes that we send to our picking appointments prior to arriving. Feel free to read so get an idea of what its like to visit our farm during strawberry picking season.
Plan on packing your boots or play shoes for a fun adventure of picking strawberries this year.
Leave your cute summer sandles or clean tennis shoes in the car.
You are welcome to schedule an appointment for a row to pick in for the day. Rain or Shine.
$4.85 a pound
no pesticides, fumigants, or round up
Picking baskets this year are $3 but you are welcome to bring your own container from home
We will message you driving directions, instructions on where to park, and other important details before your appointment.
Once you arrive, washing your hands will be the first step at our washing station. We will also have a large porta potty for your use. Next, will instruct your group on how to best pick strawberries, grab some picking baskets, and show you your reserved row. We are happy to answer any questions you have at any time during your visit.
We never know how many strawberries will be in your row that day but you are welcome to pick all of them or some of them.
What can you do while you are here picking strawberries?
Have a picnic or snack. There are several picnic tables set up around the farm or you can bring a blanket and set up under a tree by the creek.
Play in the creek with our nets and look for small fish, crawdads, and other treasures.
Visit our farm animals-our chickens, ducks, and turkey (please do not pick up the Rooster).
Enjoy a scavenger hunt with your family
Feed our Goats. Goat feed will be available to purchase during your visit. $2/bag
Take a hike up in our woods-some fitness recommended-steep inclines but worth the effort.
There are also several local restraunts in downtown Clendenin you could visit before or after your appointment-Momma Paynes Diner, Frost Bite Dairy Bar, Paddlers Bar and Grill, and Giovonni's Pizza-they will deliver to our farm. Pizzas and Cream are up the road too in Nebo, WV.
If it is a rainy day, we can be flexible of the time you bring your family-normally in West Virginia it is rare for it to rain all day in May-there will be breaks and we be monitoring when those breaks are forecasted. We will be in touch with you the day of to discuss the weather and your schedule. Your family will never forget picking strawberries in the rain-trust me it will be certainly be a memory maker. If there is lightening we will take shelter until the danger has passed. There are no refunds for rain.
