Get those buckets ready. A strawberry farm in Loganville has opened for the season.
Washington Farms, which has locations in Loganville and Bogart, welcomed its first round of berry pickers on Thursday, April 12. Loganville is located in both Gwinnett and Walton counties, but the farm is in Walton. The Loganville farm has fields of strawberries that visitors can pick themselves, or pre-picked berries by the gallon that you can pick up if you’re short on time.

You-pick berries cost $12 per gallon and pre-picked strawberries cost $15 per gallon. Washington Farms also produces blueberries and blackberries, but they ripen in late spring or early summer.
If you want to pick your own berries, your best bet is to show up early. The farm is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but can close early if all the ripe berries are picked before 7 p.m. That doesn’t mean the farm is out of berries forever; new fruit ripens daily and strawberry season stretches into mid-May.
Washington Farms’ Loganville farm is at 270 Willowind Dr. and can be reached at 770-554-8119. The Bogart Farm is at 5691 Hog Mountain Rd. and can be reached at 706-769-0627.
