🍓 Strawberry Fields Forever: Pick-Your-Own Adventures

If you’ve never gone strawberry picking, May is the time to go! It’s the perfect weekend activity and makes for the cutest photo ops and picnic opportunities.

Where to Pick in Georgia:

• Southern Belle Farm – McDonough, GA

• Warbington Farms – Cumming, GA

• Jaemor Farms – Alto, GA

🧁 Strawberry Sweets You Have to Try

Strawberries aren’t just a snack — they’re the star of the dessert table. I’ve been spotting strawberry-inspired menu items popping up all over Atlanta, and here are a few standouts (menu availability may change):

• The Salty – Check out this donut shop's mixed berry cheesecake brioche filled donut

• Café Intermezzo – Try the Strawberry Cream Torte

• King of Pops – Keep an eye out for strawberry basil or strawberry lemonade pops around town

🛍️ Berry Cute Bonus: Strawberry-Themed Finds

Because let’s be real, eating strawberries isn’t quite enough. This month, look for strawberry-scented candles, mugs, tote bags, or even strawberry-print dresses that bring the fruity fun into every part of your life.

Try these:

• Target’s Dollar Spot – Usually has seasonal strawberry kitchen towels or mugs.

• Anthropologie – Strawberry-themed accessories (like earrings or notebooks) perfect for gifting or treating yourself.

• Local farmers markets – Handmade strawberry jams and lotions from local vendors = instant spring vibes.
