Unseasonably Early Strawberries Signal Short U-pick Season
Unseasonably warm weather and heavy rains sped ripening of local strawberries in the Pittsburgh area, ending U-pick season early. Farms like Triple B Farms in Monongahela and Simmons Farm in McMurray report limited picking, with July 15 restock hopes at Simmons and caution to call ahead. Local berries boast strong aroma, ruby color, and juiciness compared with California and Florida varieties, while readers share personal harvest and recipe adaptations.
