Nothing marks the real beginning of summer like big, red, sweet, juicy strawberries at Basse’s Taste of Country.
It’s a great place for kids, who will thrill at the hayride out to the patch with 155,000 strawberry plants that burst with fresh fruit every season.
There is a minimum U-Pick requirement of 5 pounds, but the berries are usually plentiful enough to pick that amount quickly. Basse’s provides a weight scale out in the field so you know exactly how many are in your flat before you leave to check out (cashless payments only).
Stop inside the store to reward your little pickers with homemade strawberry donuts, sundaes and slushies.
