Pleasant Valley Orchard’s Pick-Your-Own Strawberry will be different in 2026.
With spring in full swing, it’s time we gave an update on our upcoming strawberry season. Over the past 5 years we have experienced weather extremes on both ends of the spectrum from extreme drought to standing water in the fields. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to drastically scale back our strawberry fields and will not be offering u-pick this season.
However, there will be limited opportunities for pop-up pre-picked sales.
It has been our pleasure to have you out for over 20 years. We are sad to move on from our of our favorite summer traditions and we will miss you. To everything there is a season. Stay tuned for information on pop-up pre-picked sales.
If pick-your-own is what your heart desires, check out the Minnesota Grown Directory for options in our region. There are some delightful patches out there.
Strawberries for Good Health!
Strawberries rank among the best fruits for healthy diets. With only 50 calories, more vitamin C than an orange and no cholesterol or saturated fat per cup, these tasty treats make a nutritious snack. Strawberries can help reduce birth defects, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and strokes.
