Attention strawberry lovers, the season is here! And to enjoy delicious freshly picked strawberries by your own hands, head to the many pick-your-own farms in Île-de-France. From local, seasonal, with variety and affordable prices—we approve!
In these Île-de-France strawberry pickings, it is possible to snag about ten varieties of seasonal strawberries and 3 to 4 varieties of remontant strawberries. Cléry, Deluxe, Joly, Gariguette, Salsa, Malwina, Darselect, Asia, Sonata, Magnum, Rubis des jardins, Faith, Flair, Korona are the stars of the season, from spring to mid-July. The fresh and fragrant Cléry is the first to appear, and Malwina the last.
Next, it's the remontantes' turn to take over until autumn. Charlotte, Mara des Bois, Cirafine and Mariguette are the stars of the post-season, less productive but flavorful. We love all these authentic, flavorful and hardy varieties, and the advantage of picking them in the pick-your-own patches is that you can taste them all before filling your little basket.
It's hard to get any shorter between the harvest and the consumption! Here, no flights involved, no long transports, as few pesticides as possible with responsible farming, and a true space of freedom to discover just a few kilometres from Paris!
