If you think strawberries are those sour white fruits you buy at the supermarket, then you haven't had them fresh from the vines. At the Carlsbad Strawberry Co., you can handpick your strawberries right in the fields. Just buy a bucket and then start filling it to the brim with the sweetest berries you can find.
Cost: $8.75 for a small bucket, $18 for a large
Dates: Until mid-July
