Hours and Availability

Our strawberry season has just begun! Please check social media and Google Maps for our latest opening times. Picked out notices will be posted on Facebook and Instagram, so please check before coming out. At the beginning of the season, our hours will be sporadic. Once we hit peak season, our hours should be more steady. 

How to Pay

Our u-pick strawberries are self-service on the honor system. They are $20 per red gallon bucket, and you keep the bucket. Any sales will be listed at the stand. You may pay with cash in the blue box at the stand, by Venmo (@hawriverfruitco), or by PayPal (info@hawriverfruit.com). QR codes for Venmo and PayPal are at the stand.

 

You keep the bucket(s) you pick. In the summer, we offer a free sunflower in return for each bucket you bring back!

About Our Strawberries 

Our plants are only sprayed with organic fish emulsion before they fruit to fertilize them naturally and help deter deer and rabbits. Since we don't use herbicides in the field, you'll likely find weeds (some of them can be prickly). Since we don't use insecticides, ant hills sometimes pop up, especially after rain, and there are other insects. Please pick carefully, especially with small kids.

We have two new-to-us varieties this year. Our field is filled with delicious Sweet Sensation and Brilliance strawberries, which are closely related to the Sweet Charlie berries that we love (the Sweet Charlies were not available due to supply chain issues this season). 

Pre-Picked Berries

We will have certain days with pre-picked berries available, especially as we get further into the season. Those dates will be posted on social media. We are also happy to take orders for pre-picked as we are able. We only take orders by email (info@hawriverfruit.com), text (919-704-6105), or direct message on Facebook or Instagram. No phone calls please for pre-picked. Pre-picked are $7 per quart or $25 per gallon bucket. We will confirm that we can provide your berries and set up a time for pick up. We typically need at least 24 hour notice for pre-picked as we are a small family farm with limited pickers.

Questions?

Should you have questions, the fastest way to get in touch with us is text, email, or social media. We only have one person to answer the phone, so we can't always get to it.

Thanks for supporting our small family farm!
