Strawberries next to each other seen from above.
The peak season for strawberries varies depending on the region and climate. Generally, strawberries have their prime growing periods in late spring to early summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, this means April through June, though some places might see strawberries as early as March or as late as July.
The ideal time to eat strawberries is during their local growing season when they’re at their freshest, juiciest, and most flavorful. This period ensures that the berries have been allowed to ripen fully on the plant before being picked, offering the best taste and nutritional value. If you’re looking for the freshest and most delicious strawberries, consider purchasing them from local farmers’ markets or pick-your-own farms during their peak season.
