Farm strawberry/vegetable picking?

Hi,

Where is the best place around Pittsburgh to go strawberry picking?
I've heard that there are farms where you pay some money, and go out
pick strawberries, etc yourself.

I'm not sure if they are currently doing this but
Malasee's Farm on New Texas Road in Plum is one
and I know Schramm's Farm in Harrison City has berry
picking for various kinds of berries. Strawberries
may be one. Trax Farm was advertising a strawberry
festival recently. I think they have pick-your-own.
Can't recall exactly where they are located but it
shouldn't be too hard to find them. They are probably
in the phone book.

Trax is on route 88 at sugar camp road. Between Library and Finleyville.

It's a little bit of a hike, but we like to take a trip out to
Triple-B Farms for berry picking. It's south of Pittsburgh, near
Elizabeth PA. Take 51 south, take the Elizabeth exit just after the
bridge over the Mon. Drive through Elizabeth, then follow the giant
strawberry signs (or corn signs, depending on the season), it's 5
miles or so.

On the way home, come up route 88 instead and stop at Mingo Creek park
for a picnic...

Also, I'm pretty sure at least one of the farms by the I-79 Wexford exit
(Sorgels, Kaelins, Altmeyers) has berry picking.
