Pick, Pet & Play: Great Country Farms’ Strawberry Festival

Kid’s Pie-eating Contest

The holiday weekend also welcomed Loudoun County’s only u-pick Strawberry Festival, inviting attendees from across the region to pick their own strawberries and enjoy days (May 28,29) of family fun at Great Country Farms.

Rope Maze

Hayrides to and from the u-pick fields brought back bushels of the biggest berries with the earlybirds while others took part in a pie eating contest, putt putt, farm animal petting, Bluemont Vineyards wine tasting, a tart toss, a rope maze… and Grandma Z’s famous Strawberry Shortcakes.

Animal Petting

The Jubilee is just over, but the prime picking continues!  Wait a few days for the plants to replenish, but Great Country Farms’ u-pick fields will re-open as long as supplies last.  (*These berries are chemical-free, $2.49 lb for u-pick. Pre-picked also available to buy in the Country Store.)

The start of summer is so sweet.
