Strawberry Picking in the Mountain West
Strawberry farms across the Mountain West grow in well-drained, high-elevation soil, which sets the pace for a season that typically runs June through July. Farms here plant a mix of June-bearing varieties for a concentrated peak and day-neutral varieties that stretch picking out over a longer stretch of the season. Pick-your-own rows tend to open on short notice once the fruit is ready, so checking a farm's current status before visiting is worth the extra step.
