Yes, the minimum pound requirement is 5lbs of strawberries. We will have a weight scale available in the field for you to check the weight of your berries. If you come back with less than 5lbs of berries you will be charged for the 5lbs minimum regardless. A picking container is sharable up to 5 guests when going out to pick in our fields, with groups of 6 or more people requiring more than 1 picking box. There is no limit to how many picking containers your group can take out to the patch, however, each container taken out to the patch requires the 5lbs minimum. No combining of containers is permitted.
