U-Pick Strawberry Fields Open at Godfrey’s Farm!

U-Pick Strawberry Fields Open at Godfrey’s Farm!

May 12, 2021

Let’s Get Picking!

Godfrey’s Farm, located in Queen Anne’s County can be found in Sudlersville, MD. An easy 45-minute drive from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and a quick 25 minute drive from Dover DE, makes for the perfect day trip with the family to pick fresh strawberries!

Godfrey’s grows several varieties of strawberries in their pick-your-own fields. Having both earlier and later varieties of berries helps ensure the season lasts throughout May and hopefully into June. Berries are grown on raised beds, using plastic mulch in the rows, and barley straw between the rows to keep weeds down and to help keep the fruit clean. If you are used to traditional matted row berries, you will find picking at Godfrey’s much easier!

Picking Tip:
Godfrey’s recommends you make a preliminary walk through the strawberry patch, looking for hot-spots. Once you find a good spot, settle down in a row, gently moving the plant’s leaves around to find all of the ripe berries hidden underneath.

Pick the reddest berries – save orange fruit to be picked in a day or two. A little white on the tip of the fruit is OK; the variety  grown has a tendency to show a little white on the tip.
