The upcoming weekend kicks off seasonal strawberry picking around Rhode Island. Most locations offer a “pick your own” (PYO) option as well as pre-picked berries by the pint at the farm store.
Reminder: Check with your favorite farm before heading out. Arrive early – best days for picking vary across the state and many locations run out of berries before Noon!
