Since I was a very little girl my mother would always take my siblings and me strawberry picking in early summer. This is one of my fondest memories. For about two decades now, we switched from a different farm, we have been visiting the Big'R Apple Farm in Brampton. And I love continuing that tradition with my children.
Having lots of strawberries in the house is great for the kids and the animals LOVE them too. Since we pick only the finest strawberries, they are always very juicy and sweet. Far better than ANY strawberry I have bought at any grocery store of veggie stand. Plus it's a great way for the kids to learn about where their food comes from, the work it takes to harvest the food and participate in feeding the animals.
This year's strawberries are HUGE, very juicy and very sweet. I would highly recommend that you have a visit before the season is over. Very large 7L baskets are currently running for $13. I never buy the smaller sized baskets so I don't know the fees for them. Bring your own basket or buy one of theirs - they're not expensive.

They also have pea, pears, apples, squash and pumpkins - of course when the season is right.
Happy picking!
