The best strawberries are picked straight from the patch.
For a memorable family picking event, visit Belltown Orchards, 483 Matson Hill Rd., South Glastonbury. The third-generation farm offers strawberries, fresh rhubarb, and sweet cherries. After picking, enjoy the farm market with a bakery full of tempting treats.
Other pick-your-own patches include Bishop's Orchards in Guilford or Lyman's Orchards in Middlefield or see the state's Department of Agriculture site for other ideas on where to berry.
