Strawberry season is in full swing, and although there arenât as many pickers as last year â when people were cooped up looking for safe ways to have fun during the pandemic â growers still say they are happy with the turnout.
Lowell Yoder, partner at Yodersâ Farm in Rustburg, said so far itâs been a great strawberry season and a lot of that has to do with the weather.
âThe rains have been timed about right and we ve had just a lot of really pretty days and that always makes strawberry farmers smile,â he said.
He said the crop and quality of the strawberries at his farm are great this year, and although the timing of the crop may be on the late side, thatâs pretty normal for the region.
