However you can also buy from local farms direct, all week long. This Strawberry Farm is on Hwy 299E, just across from Intermountain Road in Bella Vista.

A couple other favorite strawberry fields are on Bonneyview west of I-5, and another at the corner of Shasta View and Old Alturas Road. Oh, and shouldn’t forget the field west of Deschutes, near Foothill High School, and off Knighton Road at Churn Creek. Yum.
