Summer has begun and in Ontario that means strawberries are ready to be picked. Picking your own strawberries is a fun family activity.

Picking dates depend on the weather and market conditions, so it is important to call ahead. If you’re interested in picking your own strawberries visit Foodlink to find a farm nearby.
