OUR 2010 SEASON HAS
CONCLUDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!
CHECK BACK IN
APRIL 2011 FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR 2011 SEASON OPENING
Country Road Strawberries finished our 2010
season. We frequently sold out of each days supply of berries,
and had to turn away those who just dropped by hoping for a gallon
or two. That is why we encourage everyone to call ahead to reserve your order, and to confirm that we are
open and have berries available. Thanks to our loyal customers who return year after
year and to those new customers who recently discovered us.
Do we have your e-mail address? If you have not
already done so, please let us know your e-mail address. We will
notify you of our 2011 seasoning opening. And be assured, we do not
sell, trade or barter the information you provide. See below for
E-mail contact information.

look forward so seeing our loyal customers in the Spring 2010. In
spite of the rise in our costs, we have held our prices the same as last
season, $7 per gallon for we-pick, $6 for you-pick. Please call
ahead - 336.325.3331 - to confirm at we are open and that we have berries

About Us and Our Strawberries |
Country Road Strawberries is a
family owned and operated small business proud of our efforts to
grow and sell the finest strawberries in the Yadkin Valley.
Located on more than seven beautiful acres near the base of Pilot Mountain
(one of the Piedmont's most notable landmarks), our clean berries
are grown on plastic ground cover. This keeps the berries
clean and dry and much less prone to rot encountered at other
strawberry farms that do not protect their berries from ground
contact. It also makes the berries easier to pick. All our We-Pick berries are fresh the day you get
them, not picked a day or two earlier and refrigerated like some other growers. This ensures
that your Country Road Strawberries are the freshest and sweetest berries possible.
