Strawberry season in Georgia has arrived and local berries are ripe and ready for Athenians.
The berry’s season in Georgia starts in April, and Sundance Family Farm is just one of many Athens area farms that began its harvest earlier this month.
The organic farm is located just outside Athens in Danielsville in the rural part of Madison County. Turning into the farm, visitors will find a small patch of strawberries to the left, potentially with Uriel Hernandez harvesting the fruit.
Hernandez has been at the farm for 12 years, and he, with the help of two part-time workers Taylor Messex and Kassie Hodges, is responsible for picking the fruit and preparing them for shipment.
