Picking season has sprung over at Sarah and the Two Girls Strawberry Patch, 1983 N 300 W, outside of Rochester. With one acre bearing fruit, the patch is a dream turned reality for owner Sarah Smith, who quit her job of 23 years to turn to the fields and start her own business two years ago.

Smith plans on having everbearing fruit in future years that will allow her business to be open from May until the end of September. For now, however, the month of June is the only chance to grab her naturally cared for, pesticide free strawberries. 

U-pick prices are $2.75 a pound or 10 pounds for $25.

U-pick hours vary, depending on when the fields get picked out, but Smith keeps customers updated via social media by posting availability on their Facebook page. When they are available, pick times start at 9 a.m. until dusk.

Those wanting to check before planning a trip can call or message Smith at 574-239-5319.
