strawberry picking

Fruit farm activity

Strawberry picking is the activity of harvesting strawberries by hand, typically at a farm that allows visitors to gather their own fruit: We took the kids strawberry picking last weekend.

The phrase evokes a wholesome, seasonal outing—part agriculture, part recreation.

The practice extends to other fruits: blueberry picking, apple picking.
