Have you ever been berry picking in Metro Vancouver? It’s a great way to spend a summer day & teach kids about healthy eating & where food comes from. We’re lucky to have great local farms that will let us pick blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, some vegetables, and even fresh flowers!
Below you’ll find a round-up of Lower Mainland berry picking farms updated for 2024, with notations on which types of berries can typically be found at each one, whether the crops are organic, and u-pick or not. So much fun for kids! Once you have a load of fresh berries, what could be better than an amazing smoothie or strawberry salsa & cinnamon chips?
General Guidelines for 2024 Berry Picking
- NO OUTSIDE CONTAINERS
Even if they are from the same farm that you are visiting again. You will need a fresh bucket each time you go. - WASH/SANITIZE YOUR HANDS
This should be done after exiting your vehicle and before picking fruit. - CHECK-IN WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Check in to make sure you are following any directional guidelines through the farms and fields. - NO EATING AS YOU PICK
This is just good manners, and important to reduce points of contact between you touching your mouth and you touching the plants. - USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE YOU GO
Not all locations have public washrooms available. - NO ANIMALS OR OUTSIDE FOOD
Farm operators are trying their best to give families the u-pick experience, so let’s help where we can!
