Nothing beats a locally grown, fresh-from-the-earth, berry. Bold blues, rich reds — berries are a quintessential part of summer! (In fact, both strawberry picking and blueberry picking our on our summer bucket list.) And here in Cincinnati, we have lots of U-Pick farms specializing in summer’s official fruit.

According to the Ohio Farm Bureau, strawberries are in season in May through mid-June, while blueberry U-Pick season runs June through August. (And some of these farms even grow other summer faves like blackberries and peaches!)
Of course, these seasons depend on temperatures and precipitation — so it’s advised to check each site’s U-Pick or Facebook page for updates. In fact, we recommend calling the morning you plan on going to confirm whether they’re open for picking!
