Strawberry Central at Schwartz Orchard

Springtime means strawberries – and what better way to enjoy these sweet berries than picking them at a local patch?

At Schwartz Orchard in Centralia, strawberries ripen beginning in late April through June. Guests can pick their own or purchase them pre-picked. The orchard also offers fresh strawberry shortcake, U-pick or pre-picked blueberries and blackberries, strapple (strawberry-apple) juice and beautiful hanging plants.

Don’t leave until you stop by their bakery and country store where you’ll find a delicious variety of baked goods, jellies, crafts, cookbooks and more.

Schwartz Orchard has another location in Mount Vernon. Learn more about both locations at schwartzfruitfarm.com.
