Triple B Farms
Monongahela

Triple B Farms in Monongahela’s Pick-Your-Own Strawberry Field is set to open on Friday, June 4 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Pre-purchase single use baskets are $14, which hold approximately five pounds of strawberries. After Friday, the farm will check the fields and report on Facebook daily their status of PYO. Triple B Farms recommends calling ahead at 724-258-3557 or checking online for updates. The season typically lasts through mid-July, and strawberries are available for picking in their field, or already-picked in their farm market. This year, on June 9 and June 17, the farm is hosting a ‘Grow Together’ program for adults and children about strawberries, with lessons on strawberry planting, jam-making, and a hayride to pick berries. Tickets are $20 and more information, and the latest picking updates, can be found online.

Simmons Farm
McMurray

Due to a cold and wet spring, strawberry picking at Simmons Farm will be slightly delayed this year – but don’t worry, it’s coming! The McMurray Farm will keep customers updated on their website when dates are announced, and when the season is open, will offer hayrides, and a full farm market, packed with fresh flowers, plants, and produce.

Finleyville’s Trax Farms is open for limited strawberry picking this Thursday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. More dates are set to open soon, and they’ll announce openings on a week-by-week basis on their Facebook page. Trax Farms advises calling the store at 412-835-3246 before visiting to confirm that PYO is open for the day, because of weather and the availability of berries. The Finleyville farm is also offering to-go strawberry slushies on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14.
