  "Strawberry Picking" Available from January through Late May

  "Strawberry Picking" features the fresh flavor of just-picked strawberries. Because the strawberries are grown using hydroponic cultivation, washing is not required. Visitor numbers and time limits may change depending on the day’s growing conditions, such as when ripe fruit runs out, so early reservations are recommended.
