Pick-your-own strawberries season is opening at Ontario farms very soon.  

There will be many different farms open for picking this season, most of them opening in early June when local strawberries are at their peak. 

Linton's Farm Market in Oshawa will be opening up for strawberry picking in June, with the exact date and time still to be announced.

The farm grows a lot more than just strawberries throughout the year - items like asparagus, peas, broccoli and cauliflower are all available for purchase at their market. 

Reesor's in Markham will also be opening in early June, with reservations required in advance for a one-hour picking time slot.

You also get a three-litre recyclable basket when you check in, with each additional basket available for an extra cost. Their official hours should be announced soon. 

Murphy's Farm, about an hour north from Toronto, has strawberry picking available from June to July, followed shortly by blueberry and raspberry picking going from July to August.

They have a big market and bakery too, all of their desserts and treats made in-house, from scratch.
