U-Pick - a list of Edmonton and surrounding areas U-Pick farms **Updated**


We are looking at family things that we want to do this summer as we plan to have a lot of mini stay-cations. Going to a U-Pick is definitely on the top of our list! 

Depending on the weather U-Pick season generally goes June/July-October. 
Berry picking season in and around Edmonton generally starts in mid July 
**fingers crossed**

I have compiled a list of U-Pick farms to help you choose the best one.
If you want to visit the website for each location just click on the name, also register for their email notifications if they have them, you will get insider information on whats happening! 

Some things to consider when going to a U-Pick :

  • Call first as some require appointments or strongly suggest appointments. Plus crop conditions may not be favourable. 
  • Bring cash - Even if they accept debit or credit, what happens if it doesn't work?..out on a farm.....you get my point :)
  • Bring snacks & water 
  • Bring a cooler to keep your pickings fresh for the drive home. 
  • Wear a hat & sunscreen - you will realize when its too late that you have gotten sun stroke or sun burn
  • Wear good shoes & comfortable clothing- there is lots of bending and moving around. 
  • BRING YOUR OWN PAILS FOR BERRY PICKING (ice cream pails work great)
