The life of a strawberry

At Heeks Farm in Durham, NC, we’re gearing up for our first season of offering pick-your-own strawberries. From ordering plants in June to preparing the soil, planting 8,000 bare root strawberry plants, and dealing with challenges like unexpected diseases, it’s been a labor of love. After months of care, we’re excited to share our journey and offer families the chance to pick their own strawberries at our farm this spring.
