Slate Farms Strawberries

Story by: Jennifer Slate

The air hangs sweet and heavy, a fragrant promise of the ruby jewels nestled amongst the green at Slate Farms Strawberries. For many in our community, the arrival of strawberry season means one thing: a cherished trip to this local patch for a hands-on harvest. More than just acquiring a basket of delicious fruit, strawberry picking here is an experience – a delightful blend of sunshine, fresh air, and the simple satisfaction of gathering nature's bounty.

For the Slate Family, this time of year is truly special. It marks the most wonderful season on their 5th generation family farm, a time when the fields are filled with the joyful sounds of young children, families creating memories, and members of our community coming together to support their local farmer while indulging in a sweet treat straight from the source.

Beyond the immediate gratification of these delectable berries, strawberry picking offers a vital connection to our local food system and the natural rhythm of the seasons. Each berry picked serves as a sweet reminder of the hard work and dedication that goes into producing the food we enjoy.

So, as strawberry season flourishes in Clarksville, consider trading the supermarket aisles for the sun-drenched rows of local strawberry farms. Every person who steps onto a local farm plays a part in bringing Clarksville together as a community, keeping our local farms thriving, and bringing immense joy to this dedicated fifth-generation farming family.
