Strawberry Picking
Strawberry Picking Season
In London, Ontario
Looking for the best strawberry picking near London, Ontario? At Kustermans Adventure Farm, we grow three varieties of strawberries — early, mid, and late season — so berries ripen in stages throughout June. That means picking availability changes day to day depending on weather, crowds, and where we are in the season.
When berries are ready, we open the fields. When they need a day to catch up, we wait. That’s farming.
Season Dates
Strawberry season runs through June, typically starting mid-month. We grow early, mid, and late-season varieties, so the fields stay active for up to three weeks — weather permitting. Get picking updates by email

Open daily when in season, 9AM to 6PM. Last tractor to the fields departs 30 minutes before closing. We close Wednesdays for maintenance.

What Families are Saying
“We got told when we first got there that strawberries were limited picking and recommended to not pre-purchase the 3 flats we wanted just in case… well boy were we surprised when we filled all 3 flats without even going 100ft deep! (Morning of Sunday June 23rd) and the quality of the berries never disappoints!
