RESOURCE LIST: Strawberry Festivals and Farms
Strawberry festivals are a New England tradition that date back to the 1800s. They celebrate the harvest of this sweet berry, whose appearance unofficially kicks off our warmest season. Join in festivities or find a farm in the area where you can pick your own and take home the taste of summer.
