Strawberry Festival at Russell Orchards

Join Russell Orchards this Father's Day Weekend for their annual strawberry fest as they celebrate the "first fruit". Favorite outdoor activities include: strawberry picking, hayrides, face painting, and balloon entertainment.

Listen to music on the lawn both days from 12:30-3:30; Saturday brings us traditional and original folk music and with a splash of the salt sea from Daisy Nell and Capt. Stan and the Crabgrass Band. On Sunday we'll be treated to bluegrass and originals by none other than Old Cold Tater.

Inside the barn you can watch cooking demonstrations and sample some of the freshly concocted strawberry treats, grab a jug of strawberry cider, and pop a bite-sized strawberry donut! Or head over to the wine tasting for a refreshing strawberry wine spritzer.

No strawberry festival is complete without strawberry shortcake, and we boast ours is best: freshly baked scone biscuits smothered in our very own strawberries (lightly sweetened and steeped in their own juice!), and topped with a healthy dose of whipped cream - utterly magnificent.

Take home a pie, your bounty from the fields, a bottle of wine, and great farm memories. Come and join us and revel in the glory of this first - and quite beautiful - fruit.
