COVID-19 restrictions are starting to lighten, and more opportunities to go out are opening up for families, but for many with children leaving the house can still be a challenge. We’ve made a list of a few local pick-your-own locations that we know are open, have plenty of outdoor room, and have social distancing guidelines in place. Although strawberry season is at an end there are still options for pick your own such as peaches, raspberries, blueberries and more. Know of a pick your own that didn’t make the post? Let us know please!
