10 U-Pick Strawberry Patches Near Atlanta

April is prime strawberry picking season in the South, and there are lots of U-Pick farms near Atlanta. Once picked, protect the ripe fruit by laying it out in a flat-bottomed tray so they don't crush each other in the U-pick bucket. Be sure to wash the berries just before eating, and not before. Washing strawberries makes them deteriorate faster. For more strawberry picking tips, plus several U-pick strawberry farms near Atlanta, visit family travel blog 365 Atlanta Family. Enjoy!
