Strawberries are a fun and easy pick your own fruit. This year I am planning to take the kids and pick at least twice. I am planning to make several batches of freezer jam and then just freeze a bunch more to have for the winter. Around here, the cost is $1.40-1.50 a lb. The pick your own website below has great locations, recipes and information. Be sure to check it out! Also, bring your own container. A flat box works best so that you do not crush the berries.
You can find information about pick your own food at this website PickYourOwn.org but if you live in Harford County here are some great local choices. Be sure to call ahead for times and weather info the day you go.

Funny that you posted this, I was checking out that site today for local places near me. I think it will be a fun outing with the kids. And they can both eat their weight in strawberries!!!
