From this spot along the Mascoutin Valley Trail in the Town of
Nepeuskun you can look to the west and see the strawberry fields
that are operated by Prellwitz Produce. People come here from miles
around to pick their own strawberries when they are in season which
is normally around mid-June. There are many farms in Wisconsin that
allow you to pick your own berries and this can be a fun-filled
family adventure to compliment any Geocaching trip. What could top
off a day better than getting home from a great day of caching and
sitting down with a big bowl of fresh, plump, strawberries!
In 2006, Wisconsin ranked #9 in strawberry production. 43,000
pounds of strawberries were harvested on 680 acres. There were 830
acres planted. Yield per acre was 63 hundredweight. California is
the leading producer. In central and southern Wisconsin, June
bearing strawberries are usually ripe between June 1 and July 10.
In northern Wisconsin, they are ready June 20 to July 15. A listing
of berry growers can be found at www.wiberries.org.
