Things to Do: Pecan Creek Strawberry Farm

Pecan Creek Strawberry Farm is kicking off its season with its opening week, offering visitors the chance to pick their own fresh strawberries. Open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, the farm operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s best to arrive early. The parking lot opens at 9:00 AM, with picking starting at 10:00 AM, and they close when they sell out for the day. The farm often sees long lines, and there is no guarantee that they will have strawberries available until the end of the day, so be sure to check the field status before heading out. It’s a great outing for families, groups, or anyone looking to enjoy some outdoor fun while getting fresh, locally grown produce.

Find them located at 12141 Foutch Rd, Pilot Point, TX 76258. Be sure to check out their Website, Instagram, and Facebook for updates, discounts, and events!
