Look at the strawberries in this photo. See how plump, ripe, and beautiful they look? I can tell you that they taste even better! Super sweet, super juicy, and super fresh. How do I know? These were some of the strawberries we picked one year at Wegmeyer Farms. Fresh strawberries, right off the fields, are incomparable. Now we’re teaming up with Wegmeyer Farms to give one of YOU a free pick-your-own session! See details below.
Some of the bounty from our 2016 picking!
Wegmeyer Farms each year offers “pick your own” or “U-pick” strawberries, and once again they are extending to or readers a special deal: 25 percent off on your purchase! Any day this season, you can get 25% off your U-pick strawberries at any of of the three Wegmeyer Farms locations in Northern Virginia (just mention Fairfax Family Fun). This year Wegmeyer also is introducing a strawberry wine produced with a local winery, Fabbioli Cellars, that you can try at the Hamilton or Oatlands locations.
One lucky Fairfax Family Fun winner will receive a complimentary bucket to collect the strawberries, and your pickings are free! The winner will get to visit on a day of his or her choice, to any location. Please see our original post for information on all Wegmeyer Farms locations, tips for picking, and photos from our previous visits, then enter the giveaway below!
From our 2016 picking: one of the “funkier” ones our son loves
