ROAD TRIP TO STRAWBERRY PICKING!

While strawberry picking in the Asheville area doesn’t typically get started until closer to Mother’s Day, thankfully for us, the strawberries in neighboring South Carolina ripen sooner, and make for a great little road trip to go pick your own! We’ve put together this list of the best, just a short distance away (listed in alphabetical order)!
