UPDATE: Sweet Pick’ins closed for season

One of many rows of strawberries at Sweet Pick'ins Farm on Old Millers Ferry Road in 2020.

The last weekend of March, the Sweet Pick’ins Farm strawberry field was flooded.

After waiting for the field to dry and assessing the crop, owner Lewis Tapley declared the strawberry farm would be closed for this season. One of the main concerns is the possibility of there being bacteria in the fruit.
