Strawberry season is fairly short — from late May to early June — but many farms also offer pick-your-own blueberries, raspberries, cherries, peaches, peas, and other fruit and vegetable picking all summer long.
See below for a list of nearby pick-your-own farms in New Jersey, all of which are less than an hour and a half’s drive from Staten Island. **Always call ahead to confirm before you head out, as picking schedules often vary and may change due to weather and crop availability.**
