OUR 2011 SEASON HAS
COME TO AN END
Our last day was Tuesday June 7, 2011. Thank you for your business!
We look forward to seeing you again in 2012. Please make sure we have your
e-mail address (see below)
Country Road Strawberries opened May 4th for our 2011
season, and U-Pick opened May 9th, and closed June 7th. We frequently
sold out of each days supply of berries,
and we truly hate 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, so we may
notify you of our season opening. And be assured, we do not
sell, trade or barter the information you provide. See below for
E-mail contact information.
NOTE: Since we spend so much time in the fields, we do not check
e-mails on a daily basis Therefore, we can not accept orders by
e-mail.

Late Breaking News! |
Country Road Strawberries 2011 Update - Our 2011 Season
Has Ended:
Our 2011 season is almost finished!. We always look forward to seeing our loyal return customers in the Spring, and
welcome new customers who have found us via our website or word of mouth. In
spite of the rise in our costs, our prices are the same as last
season, $7 per gallon for we-pick, $6 for you-pick (on days when fields
are open for you to pick your own). Please call
ahead - 336.325.3331 - to confirm at we are open and that we have berries
available, and for 'U-pick' customers to ensure the fields are open for
picking that day. This will save you a 'fruitless' trip if, due to
the variations of Mother Nature, we have sold out our limited supply of
berries to customers who called ahead to reserve their desired quantity.
Please note that we are not able to accept orders via e-mail.

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.
