Some of my best memories from my childhood are berry picking at U-Pick farms around Edmonton (one time we even convinced our mom to let us bring home a cat!). As my kids grow older I hope to make this one of their fondest memories too (minus a cat) as well as yours.
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**
Some things to consider when going to U-Pick farms around Edmonton
- 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)

Thanks, this is great. good to know of all the places to go to. Good to know about the natural growers. Thanks have a good day ☺
You may want to wear or bring rubber boots. When I went last year to the early picking at Prairie Gardens they had not cleared away all the thistle plants as yet. My daughter (age 2 at the time) spent most of the time in my arms terrified! Not the easiest thing to pick berries with a toddler in my arms. To the staffs credit they ended up offering to pick my bucket for me since I was having such difficulties!
Berries usually means saskatoons, are there any farms that offer blueberries. I have always bought blueberries from a ?BC source at a farmers market, and I would like to be able to but Alberta blueberries. Thanks,
