Buying strawberries in June

How to pick: Red right up to the green cap, and fragrant. Size tells you nothing about flavor.
Ripening at home: Does not ripen after picking, so buy it ready to eat.
How to store: Unwashed in the fridge with the caps on. Eat within 3 days.
Try this: Slice and toss with a spoon of sugar, then rest 10 minutes.

Seasons are typical harvest months. Your local harvest can start or end a few weeks either side, and stores carry imports outside these months.
