The Klicker Family has been raising strawberries in the Walla Walla Valley since 1918. It began when brothers Del and Jake Klicker picked too many garden strawberries at their mother's Klicker Springs Hotel located in the Blue Mountains. Needing to dispose of the extras (a strawberry pie does not need 10 flats of strawberries!), the industrious brothers hitched their wagon to their horses and traveled 15 miles to town and immediately sold the strawberry flats for a premium price. They found out they could make more money selling their mom's garden strawberries than the family could earn housing hotel guests.
