Introduction
April, when the weather warms up, is the perfect season for strawberry picking.
For those who value both taste and cost performance, strawberry picking during this period is a great choice!
In this article, we’ll provide detailed information about strawberry picking in April. If you’re considering going strawberry picking, this guide is for you!
1. Strawberry Picking Season
Strawberry picking is generally available from early December to the end of May at most farms. At our farm, we welcome guests throughout this period. Additionally, although rare, some farms are open even in June.
2. Crowds & Availability
Due to increased strawberry yields, April is the easiest time to secure a reservation. You may even be able to enjoy the experience without a reservation, making it a convenient time to visit.
3. Pricing
With higher strawberry yields, prices are often more affordable compared to the December to March period. For those who prioritize cost performance, this is the most economical time to enjoy strawberry picking!
4. Recommended Clothing
On sunny days, the temperature inside the greenhouse can reach around 25–30°C (77–86°F), so short sleeves are comfortable. Since the sunlight can be strong, having a hat will make your experience even more enjoyable. On bad weather days, temperatures may not rise as much, so we recommend wearing clothes that allow you to adjust your body temperature.
5. Taste, Varieties & Size of Strawberries
Taste: In April, strawberries offer a well-balanced flavor of sweetness and refreshing acidity, allowing you to enjoy the true taste of strawberries.
Varieties: As the weather warms up, late-season varieties grow actively, providing the opportunity to try many different types of strawberries.
Size: You may come across large strawberries, but it depends on timing. Sometimes, finding the largest strawberries can be challenging.
6. Checklist of Things to Bring
Handkerchief or towel (for wiping hands and mouth)
Eco-bag (for taking strawberries home as souvenirs)
Sunscreen (to protect against UV rays inside the greenhouse)
7. Conclusion
April is the best season to enjoy strawberries with their authentic flavor and the most cost-effective time of the year. Enjoy your strawberry picking experience to the fullest! If you have any questions about strawberry picking, feel free to leave a comment!
