Pick Your Own Strawberries and Fruits in Berlin & Brandenburg – Best Farms and Locations

May: The Month of Strawberries

May is the time when summer is almost within reach. After a long winter with little sunshine and few bright emotions, it’s natural to crave something that tastes like summer. Strawberries are a perfect choice! In Germany, you won’t have any trouble finding them—supermarkets will be advertising them, they’ll be calling from store shelves, and you’ll even be invited to pick them yourself in the fields.

But where exactly can you pick your own strawberries? In this article, we’ll guide you through the best farms in Berlin and Brandenburg where you can enjoy this fun and rewarding experience.

Pick Your Own Strawberries at Farms

Germany is home to many farms growing fruits, vegetables, and berries, including apples, potatoes, currants, grapes, and, of course, strawberries. Some of these farms offer the unique experience of picking your own produce.

How to Find Strawberry Farms?

  • Online: Many farms list their locations and opening times on their websites.

  • Road Signs: Look for signs along highways inviting you to pick strawberries.

  • Follow the Crowd: If you see a long line of parked cars and people carrying baskets, buckets, or containers, you’ve likely found a strawberry farm!

How Does Strawberry Picking Work?

  1. Weigh Your Containers – Before you start, find the farm’s weighing station and check the weight of your basket or container.

  2. Pick Your Strawberries – The berries are grown without pesticides, so you can safely taste them as you pick.

  3. Weigh and Pay – Once you’ve picked your strawberries, return to the weighing station, deduct the weight of your container, and calculate the total cost.

  4. Enjoy the Savings – Self-picked strawberries are often much cheaper than those in stores or markets. Prices typically range from €3.50 to €4 per kilogram, compared to €6-7 per kilogram at a farmer’s market. If you pick a large quantity, you may even get additional discounts.

Why Pick Your Own Strawberries?

Picking your own strawberries isn’t just about saving money—it comes with many other benefits:

  • Better Taste – Store-bought strawberries can never match the freshness of those picked straight from the field.

  • Eco-Friendly & Chemical-Free – Farms don’t use pesticides, ensuring clean, organic strawberries that you can eat directly from the plant.

  • Variety of Strawberry Types – Farms grow different strawberry varieties, allowing you to pick the ones that suit your taste best.

  • Hand-Picked Perfection – Choose only the ripest, sweetest berries for fresh eating, making jams, freezing, or baking delicious strawberry desserts.
