JUNCTION CITY, Ore.--  The strawberry season is coming to an end, and farms around the Willamette Valley say their U-Pick season has been great.
 
Strawberry season was about two weeks behind because of the cooler spring weather.  But once the fruit was ripe, pickers headed out the the patches.
 
Up next for local fruit:  Blackberries, blueberries, marion berries and boysenberries.
