Buffalo Creek Berry Farm

May to June is the strawberry season here in the Sooner state and I've been waiting to go to pick your own strawberries here since I stumbled across their page on FB last November! Growing up in Surrey, England, my parents always took us to all kinds of pick your own farms so this is a nostalgic activity for me.The husband has never been to anything like this but he is always game. As it turned out, the farm isn't very far from our abode! Make sure to follow them on facebook for available days for picking and opening hours, they are not open everyday. We went on a Tuesday and rechecked their facebook before leaving the house just to make sure they were going to open. The gates generally open at 4.30pm or a little earlier to prevent traffic build-up and road blockage in front of the farm. Regardless, picking begins at 5pm. We were there a little before 4.30pm but happily waited and enjoyed the scenery, fresh air, and observing the cows in the distant.Oh, the gorgeous Australian Shepherd at the farm also doubles as the hostess. She runs up to greet everybody that walked up to the strawberry patch. We also got to see her in action herding the cows.You'll be given a bucket to pick your strawberries, they are lined with a plastic bag which gets lifted out for weighing and then you just take that home, so there's no need to bring anything with you. And If I remember correctly the strawberries were $8 per lb. If your bucket is piled high with strawberries they will weigh around 5 lbs which you then pay just $7 for a pound. The husband doesn't like strawberries so I could only pick a couple of pounds.This is such a fun activity for all members of the family especially the little ones. If you haven't been to a You Pick farm, I highly recommend it!

What a treat!!! My family and I had the opportunity to visit this wonderful farm and pick the most delicious, homegrown strawberries we've ever tasted. My kids still talk about their experience there, and we cannot wait to go back this season and pick more berries and peruse all the vegetables that are also grown on site. Thank you Buffalo Creek Berry Farm!
