Fresh strawberry season is almost here. Steve Scott, one of the owners of Scott Strawberry and Tomato Farms based in Unicoi, said he hopes employees can begin picking the strawberry crop as soon as Thursday. âTheyâre, right now, ready or getting there,â said Scott. âEverything looks good, so weâre just waiting on some sunshine.â Scott said strawberries may be available for purchase at at least a few of the companyâs retail stands and at Scottâs Farm Market by the weekend. âHopefully, weâre pushing for this weekend, and again it depends on the weather,â said Scott. âWe probably wonât get every single stand open by this weekend, but by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, we hope to be in Knoxville and have everything going full speed.â
