If you live in the Lancaster area and would like to pick your own strawberries, our family just visited a farm this evening where you can do just that. It's a farm on Bowman Road...not far from the Rockvale Outlets. If you choose to pick your own strawberries (which I highly suggest doing), it's just $3.00 per quart. They also have quarts of strawberries that are already picked and for sale on a small table on the property; those will cost you $4.00 per quart. 
It's the prime time to pick them. When we were there today, strawberries filled the field. It made us wanna just keep picking and picking them...but we settled for just 2-quarts today. They're delicious! And it's a fun activity for little ones, too. 
Just a side note...
When you get to the farm, you'll park on their lawn in front of some old chicken houses. There are two chicken houses and a row of boats in between them. Walk back between the two buildings until you get to their corn field. Turn left. Walk a bit further...and you'll run into the strawberry patch. We were the only customers when we went and were uncertain where to go...but trust us, there ARE strawberries tucked in a field behind/beside the first chicken house. It's self-service...meaning, you literally put your money in a tin can that's duct taped to a card table...but it's SO WORTH it! They also have new quart boxes in a pile for you use, so no need to bring your own containers. Have fun!!!
Our little helper probably ATE more than she PICKED. Ha!
Man, picking strawberries for 20-minutes is EXHAUSTING...but so worth it!
