The strawberry picking season varies by location, but generally in the United States, the main picking months are April, May, and June. For example:
- In Texas and Florida, the peak of strawberry season is in April.
- In the deep South states, it peaks in May.
- In middle states like North Carolina and Tennessee, the peak is often in late May or early June.
- In northern states and Canada, strawberry picking peaks later in June.
Some farms, like Punjab Farms in Texas, have their 2025 strawberry season from early April to the end of May, with picking days mostly on Saturdays and select days during the season. In Florida and nearby southern states, the season can start as early as February, while colder and northern regions typically see strawberries ready for picking in June or even July. In Europe, specifically the Netherlands, strawberry picking season can be from May through October depending on staggered planting and farm conditions. So, the best time for strawberry picking is generally spring to early summer, with variations depending on geographic location and climate.
