Strawberry Picking (outside of Westchester County)

Open Monday thru Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Admission is $5 for adults and children 12+. Fruit/vegetables are priced separately from the admission cost and will vary. I couldn’t resist – I love the outdoors, and always wanted to go strawberry picking. I have never gone, and I thought maybe you all might want to go experience this with your families. This is farther north, and outside of Westchester County, but I still wanted to highlight a wonderful family activity, as I love to go apple picking with my family in the fall. See the website for further details and when fruit/vegetables are available for picking.
