Strawberry season has started in the North East as pick your own farms open for their first weekends.
Strawberry season in the North East of England starts in mid-June and usually runs until late August. Some farms have decided to open their pick-your-own fields for the first time in 2022 this weekend, although others are choosing to wait a little longer
Picking your own allows you to select the juiciest and freshest fruit, instead of picking up boxed strawberries from greengrocers and supermarkets. It's a popular activity for families too, for a fun morning or afternoon out in the countryside.
