April means the beginning of Strawberry season in Georgia. Officially the strawberry season is late April to early July. Whether you want to pick your own strawberries or just stock up from local markets, check out this list of local strawberry farms you can, and should visit.

Southern Belle Farms

First up is a fan favorite! Southern Belle Farms is located south of Atlanta in McDonough, GA and is just a quick trip for those in Cobb. Southern Belle is best known for its strawberry picking, but they also have u-pick berries and peaches. Their 12-acre strawberry patch is fun for the entire family. Strawberry season begins in April and typically runs into early summer. PS – while I haven’t had it, apparently their strawberry ice cream is something to write home about. Try it and let us know what you think.

Adams Farm

Adams Farm, located in Fayetteville, GA is just a short drive to delicious strawberries. The strawberry season for this farm is typically mid April to late June. They offer ‘u-pic’ strawberries. Check their website for details. They also offer u-pic blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. For those not wanting to pick their own, this roadside market typically has pre-picked berries available. Don’t forget your own containers to collect your berries in.

Mercier Orchards

Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, GA is a family favorite for sure. While perhaps they are more well known for their apples, they do have a self pick strawberry season that typically open in May. Be sure to check out their website for the latest information.
