Strawberry Picking at Wilson's Orchard & Farm - Des Moines, IA

**DATES AND DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!** These are not typical grocery store berries. You’ll pick them right from the vine, at their peak, with less time between the field and your first bite. More sun, more time to ripen, and no long-distance travel means they taste the way they’re meant to, and hold onto more of their natural nutrients along the way. There’s something about eating a strawberry right where it was grown that just feels like summer. It all comes down to timing. Store-bought berries are picked early to make the trip. Ours stay on the vine until they’re ready, which means more sweetness, fuller flavor, and a taste you never forget! __ WHAT TO EXPECT 🍓 Rows and rows of sun-ripened strawberries 🍕 Ciderhouse Restaurant with farm-to-table dining and seasonal menus 🧁 Farm Market favorites including strawberry-themed treats, refreshments, and gifts & trinkets. Fresh donuts served every Saturday & Sunday 📸 Photo opportunities among the berries 🎶 Sunday Funday - FREE live music every week from 3-6pm 🛝 A Farmyard with outdoor & indoor playgrounds for little ones to run wild 🌱 Throughout the summer, expect to see cut-flowers, raspberries and blueberries (ripen through different times during late June - August) __ SUMMER ADMISSION PRICES 🌱 Farm Admission (Ages 3+) | Pricing details coming soon! ➤ Only required when passing the gate to the you-pick patches.
