As the Czech Republic welcomes the strawberry season, farms across the country are opening their gates for the beloved tradition of pick-your-own strawberries. The season typically kicks off in early June, offering visitors not just fresh fruit, but also a chance to enjoy a day out while saving money compared to store prices.
This year’s season is gradually unfolding, with only a handful of farms having ripe strawberries by late May. Most farms are expected to begin their picking season in June, with timing largely dependent on weather conditions.
For budget-conscious berry lovers, prices are competitive across different regions. In the Central Bohemian region, prices range from 79 to 99 CZK per kilogram, with Sedlčánky offering the best value at 79 CZK/kg. In Prague, visitors can expect to pay around 100 CZK/kg at locations like Kunratice.
While picking your own strawberries requires more time and effort than buying from stores, the financial savings and experience make it worthwhile. Visitors are encouraged to check farm websites directly for specific picking times, directions, and current availability.
