Jaemor Farms opened its strawberry fields to the public Saturday for the second annual Strawberry Festival, and the people of Northeast Georgia met them at the gate. The festival offered visitors a chance to venture out and hand-pick their own strawberries for $14 per gallon bucket. For those not looking to get their hands dirty, there were plenty of strawberries already boxed in the market, along with other locally grown fruits and vegetables.
