Fresh Klicker Strawberries generally are ready around June 1st and continue until the middle to late July.  The majority of our strawberry acreage is located on our ranch property sitting at an elevation of 1200 feet.  Other fields are located at increasing elevation in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, culminating with fields located on top of Klicker Mountain at 3800 feet.  Not only do the different elevations spread the season out, it also spreads the risk.  If one field gets damaged from frost or hail, another one may be spared.

We are the fourth generation of Klickers to raise June-bearing strawberries and still employ primarily youth to harvest the crop.  It is a joy for us to have the privilege of giving young people the chance to work and grow as individuals.  Currently we are harvesting approximately 20 acres of strawberries and employ around 110 workers, from ages 12 and up.  Our field bosses and supervisors are all high-school age and older who have earned their positions of leadership by working hard as pickers, displaying exemplary leadership skills and earning the respect of their peers
