Severe storm impacts Sweet Pick’ins’ strawberry season

After this weekend's severe weather, Sweet Pick'ins Farm woke up to find their strawberry crop was flooded. Owner Lewis Tapley said they are not sure what this means from them as far as opening date for the season.

After a weekend of rain, hail and damaging winds, flooding came next to Tallapoosa County. 

“I walked out on the porch (Monday) morning and looked down and it looked like the Tennessee River out here … it was something else,” Sweet Pick’ins owner Lewis Tapley said.
