Edmonton u-pick farms
There is no summer tradition quite like coming home with purple-stained fingers and a pail you filled yourself. Filter by what is ripe right now, or by which side of the city you are on — then check the farm before you drive, because berries do not run to a schedule.
What’s ripe when
Exact dates shift with the weather every year. Tap any crop to jump straight to the farms that grow it.
Every farm on one map
Before you go
Five things that decide whether the trip works.
Check before you drive
Crops ripen on nature’s schedule, not the website’s. Most farms post the day’s conditions to Facebook. A two-minute check beats a forty-minute drive to a closed gate.
Bring your own containers
Farms supply standard pails for weighing and pricing, but you will usually need something of your own to tip them into for the drive home.
Bring cash
Most take card, but rural wifi has opinions. Cash removes the problem.
Go early
Cooler picking, better selection, fewer people. Mornings are also when small children are at their most cooperative.
Sunscreen and bug spray
There is almost no shade in a berry field, and after a wet spring the mosquitoes are a genuine factor.
Know a farm we have missed?
Happy Acres in Spruce Grove is no longer running u-pick. If a farm has closed, changed hands, or should be on this list, tell us and we will update it.
