Pick your own raspberries

Ready for some berry fun? Find all the raspberry-picking details here!

Picking Hours

Our raspberry fields are open seasonally (mainly in the month of July). We typically open for morning picking, as raspberries are delicate and can soften quickly in the afternoon heat.

Occasionally, we offer evening picking sessions for those who can’t make it during the day—however, these are not frequent and depend on how much of the crop is picked in the morning. We are also open on select weekend days.

For the most up-to-date picking times, please check our today's conditions page or follow us on social media—we update them regularly!

Pricing

  • $4.50per litre (2026) 

  • 🍓 Level 1L basket: $4.50

  • 🍓 Overfilled/ heaping 1L basket = $1 extra: $5.50

  • A level basket is filled even with the top. If you pile your berries above the rim, we'll simply round up to the heaping basket price.

Baskets

  • 2L and 4L baskets: $1 each

  • 1L baskets: $0.25 each

  • You’re welcome to bring your own containers from previous years or other farms—just make sure they are clearly marked in litres by the manufacturer.

  • We’ll confirm the volume of your basket at check-in.

  • We recommend picking into 1L or 2L baskets to help protect the delicate raspberries from getting crushed.

  • Have 4L baskets from strawberry season? Bring them along—they make great carriers for your 1L containers!

Ready Picked Raspberries

  • ​​Ready-picked raspberries: $9/L -we are unable to take orders for these this season as we have a smaller crop.

  • Availability depends on weather and field conditions

How to Pick Like a Pro

  • Use a gentle touch. Raspberries are delicate and crush easily.

  • Hold the berry gently and pull—a ripe raspberry will pull away easily from the stem.

  • Don’t force it. If it resists, it’s not quite ready!

  • Use smaller containers. Keep berries from getting squished by picking in small batches.

Storing Your Raspberries

  • In the Fridge:

  • Raspberries are delicate and don’t keep well once wet.

  • If you choose to wash them, do so just before eating and enjoy them right away.

  • We simply pick out any leaves or field debris—the berries are safe to eat straight from the field.

  • Store in a shallow container in a single layer if possible.

  • Best enjoyed within 1–2 days.

  • Freezing Tips:

  • If you choose to wash your berries, make sure they are fully dry before proceeding

  • Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet

  • Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or containers

  • Great for smoothies, baking, and sauces!

Visitor Notes

  • Please dress appropriately for the field—hats, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes are recommended.

  • Children are always welcome at the farm! That said, raspberry canes are a bit prickly, and raspberries take longer to fill a basket than strawberries—patience is key. You know your child best, so please plan accordingly.

  • Children must be supervised at all times.

  • No pets are allowed in the fields, except for service animals.

  • Please be respectful of the plants, staff, and other pickers.

  • Only pick what you intend to buy.
