This food holiday celebrates the act of picking strawberries fresh from the vine, either in a home garden or at a pick-your-own farm. Occurring May 20, this is the time when strawberries are coming into season in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere.

Look online or ask around for nearby farms or orchards that offer pick-your-own (PYO) strawberries.

Picking strawberries is easy, but take care not to damage the delicate fruit. Grasp the strawberry near the stem and gently twist it off the vine.
