Neighboring Tangipahoa parish is known for their strawberries so it makes sense that some of us would like to go and pick our own. There are fewer places to pick strawberries than blueberries but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck! We’ve assembled a list of local farms that do offer U Pick–usually in the months of April and May.
Some notes about picking your own strawberries:
Always, always, call ahead. Farms are unpredictable and they may sell out, rain out, or just close up shop for a family event. You always want to call before getting in your car and driving out there.
Bring sun and bug protection. It’s easy to get a sunburn without even realizing it!
Bring cash. Some farms will take a check. I don’t know of any farms that take credit cards. Be prepared so you don’t have to find an ATM in the middle of nowhere.
