U-Pick Farms in Edmonton & Area (2026 Guide)

Last updated: July 2026 — we check every farm on this list each season.

There's no summer tradition quite like coming home with purple-stained fingers and a pail full of berries you picked yourself. The Edmonton area is home to more than 20 u-pick farms, and our short-but-mighty prairie growing season produces an amazing variety: strawberries, raspberries, saskatoons, haskaps (honeyberries), sour cherries, currants, apples, fresh vegetables, and even cut-your-own flower fields.

The season generally runs from late June through September, with each fruit ripening in its own window — so a u-pick trip in early July looks completely different from one in late August. Use our harvest calendar below to plan your visit, then find a farm near you. We've organized every farm by area, with hours, prices, and the kid-friendly extras that matter to Edmonton families.

Horse Hill Berry Farm | Raspberries

It’s anticipated that the fruit trees and berries will be ready to pick mid July to early August 2026.

The Berry Farm | Sunset Picking by Appointment

U-pick here is by appointment only, which sounds like a hassle but is actually the charm: you get weekend evening time slots that put you in the berry rows at golden hour. It’s worth planning ahead for a visit to The Berry Farm.

Before You Go: U-Pick Tips for Edmonton Families

Check before you drive. Crops ripen on the schedule of nature, fields may have a busy picking season and the hours may change due to unpredictable weather in Edmonton during the summer months - like this year’s rain record! Check with the farm (most update on their Facebook pages) before you drive all the way out to a local U-pick only to show up and see a closed sign!

Bring your own containers. A good rule of thumb is to bring your own containers. Most farms have standard containers that are used for pricing and sizing while picking, but you’ll most likely have to bring your own to empty these into bring home.

Bring cash. Most farms do take credit or debit - but better to be safe than sorry when dealing with rural wi-fi!

Go early. Mornings make for cool picking times, better selection and fewer crowds. Plus, it’s a great time to get the kids outside for a farm adventure.

Don’t skip the sunscreen and insect repellant. There’s very little shade in the fields, and with the record rainfall we’ve had - you’re not going to want to skip the mosquito repellent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about U-pick farms in Edmonton area? Planning your summer adventure? Here’s all of your questions answered in one place.

  • Roughly late June through September. Haskaps come first (late June into July), strawberries and saskatoons peak in July, raspberries run mid-July through August, and apples carry the season into fall — Attracted 2 Apples opens on the September long weekend, and Strawberry Fields picks everbearing strawberries right into October. See our harvest calendar above for the full picture.

  • Two of them: Horse Hill Berry Farm (raspberries) in northeast Edmonton and Strawberry Fields (appointment-only strawberries) in southwest Edmonton. Everything else on this list is within about a 30–45 minute drive of the city.

  • Two prairie berries you'll rarely find in a grocery store. Saskatoons look like blueberries but taste sweeter and nuttier — the classic prairie pie berry. Haskaps (also called honeyberries) are elongated blue berries with a tangy blueberry-raspberry flavour, and they're the first berry ready every summer.

  • It varies by farm and crop. Some farms charge a small admission fee ($2–$5 per person), and fruit is typically priced by weight or by the pail — in 2026, expect roughly $6/lb for haskaps and strawberries at most farms, $16/kg for raspberries at Horse Hill, and about $17–$20 for a 4L pail of saskatoons. Farms with full activity areas like Prairie Gardens charge admission that includes rides and attractions.

  • Your own pails or containers (4L ice cream pails are the Edmonton standard), cash as a backup for temperamental card machines, sunscreen, hats, bug spray, water, closed-toe shoes, and a cooler to keep your berries fresh on the drive home.
