[picappgallerysingle id=”296038″]Strawberry season has arrived and it’s looking to be a great year for berries! Chatham County has two pick-your-own strawberry farms that would welcome your business:

Jean’s Berry Patch in Apex – call for opening date (any day now!)

Oakley Farm in Chapel Hill – open now!

Visit Cooperative Extension’s Growing Small Farms website at http://www.ces..ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/SustAg/pyofarms.html for details.

You can also find pre-picked local strawberries at our local farmers’ markets starting the week of April 26 (possibly sooner but it’s not a sure thing): http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/SustAg/marketinfo.html
