Did you know that fresh hand-picked Strawberries are only a 45 minute drive from campus?

If you didn’t, then we’d like to introduced you to Sugar Hill Farms; home of the seasonal Strawberry U-Pick Attraction.

The attraction’s current hours are Monday and Tuesday from 8am till 5pm and Wednesday- Saturday from 8am till 2pm.

With the purchase of a $9 “U-Pick” souvenir bucket, visitors can hand pick their own berries to take home.

For anyone who would like to like to skip the labor and get straight to enjoying the fruit, the staff also offers $11 “We-Pick” souvenir buckets which are pre-picked by the farm’s staff.

Strawberry U-Pick will be open through the end of May.

You can find more information about Strawberry U-Pick and Penton Farms on their website.
