Get ready for a berrylicious adventure like no other in Metro Vancouver! As summer creeps in, it’s time to celebrate those sunny days by getting our hands on the juiciest, sweetest berries straight from the vine. June marks the opening of strawberry farms where you can dive into buckets of luscious strawberries. But hey, the fun doesn’t stop there! Raspberries and blueberries are waiting in line to join the party later in the summer. So grab your friends, put on your berry-picking hat, and let’s embark on a fruity escapade, exploring the amazing U-Pick Berry Farms scattered across Metro Vancouver.

Take the kids out to a U-pick so they can enjoy the satisfaction of picking their own food (or see how hard it is!), pat some barnyard animals, run around in the playground and maybe even dig into some ice cream and berries.

Before You Go

First things first, don’t forget to pack those essential summer essentials like hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water to keep you cool. Oh, and bring your own trusty buckets because availability can be limited at the farms, and you might have to pay for them. Now, as much as we love our furry friends, it’s best to leave them at home as pets generally aren’t allowed at the farms. And speaking of little ones, make sure to have a chat with them about the golden rule: no berry munching until you’ve paid for them! We know those juicy U-pick berries are tempting, but remember, they’re not officially yours until they’ve been weighed. To keep those tiny tummies happy, consider bringing some snacks to keep hunger at bay while you’re out in the field. Now, you’re all set for a berry-filled adventure! Let’s go pick some sweetness!
