Strawberry Fest
Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend
May 27, 2023
9:30 am - 3 pm
We are busy getting ready for Saturday's Strawberry Fest!! We have an AMAZING line-up of local vendors, face painting, crafts with Paint It Orange and two options for lunch: Just Dogs & Catering and Blue Ridge Pizza Co.
This has been an on and off year for strawberry growers with ripe berries one day and then no berries to pick the next. We will not be picking any strawberries on Thursday or Friday, so we hope to have the maximum amount of ripe berries available for picking. Please remind everyone in your group, that fruit ripens at its own pace and can't be rushed. There is no guarantee that there will be you-pick berries available during your visit.
Picking at the Fest will be by the Quart Container and will be $5 per quart. Picking will only last as long as we have ripe berries available in the field. Liberty Mills Farm has the right to limit the number of quarts per family and/or carload.
To supplement our berries, our friends at Agriberry Farm and CSA will be providing us with pre-picked strawberries to sell in our market. We are so very grateful to this Virginia farm for helping us out!
There will also be a LOT of strawberry themed items with our local vendors as well as in the Market, including our nearly famous strawberry sundaes, NEW - strawberry flavored popcorn, strawberry chocolate truffle fudge, strawberry salsa and strawberry butter!!
Add the Berry Best Dressed Baby/Toddler contests and the Berry Best Hat Contest and music from Valerie Smith Music and we will have a farmtastic day on the Farm!
Enjoy the fruit of the season around which this Fest is focused … luscious red strawberries!
Strawberry ice cream, strawberry fudge,
