Have you ever picked your own fruit before or taken your family to a strawberry farm? Why not start this "family friendly" tradition, that is literally in your backyard! Bagge Strawberries is just five miles north of Independence on Highway 150. This family owned and operated farm, started as a hobby but quickly grew to a 26-acre farm fresh local business! The farm offers the option of fresh picked or pick your own; both are worth the trip! The picking experience is inviting for "pickers" of all ages. The farm hands will cart you to a row and give you easy to follow "picking' instructions. No limits here; pick as little or as much as you want and/or need. Most seasons berries ripen throughout the month of June. Bagge's plants several different strawberry varieties allowing for a longer season than you might produce at home. Bonus for berry lovers. Bagge's also grow red raspberries, which I've been told will ripen in July. I guess I will be making a return trip once or twice!
