With 14 acres of blueberries, 3 acres of strawberries, 2 acres of raspberries, and 5 acres of pumpkins, our family farm in London, Ontario is a true U-Pick paradise.

Sometimes berries ripen faster than expected, and we need to open for picking to manage the crop—especially when weekends fall early. Other times, the berries are there, but not ripening as quickly or abundantly as usual, which means guests may find fewer berries per bush.
Subscribe to our e-news to stay informed about picking conditions, crop availability, and last-minute updates.
We offer different picking experiences from June to mid-August and again in the fall. There might be short gaps between crops (e.g., between strawberries and raspberries), but we aim to have something available most of the time.
Limited picking means there’s still fruit available, but it may take longer to fill your containers. The fields are not as full as usual, and you may need to search a bit more. During this time, prepaid options are temporarily removed.
No booking is required! Just come during our season hours—first come, first served while supplies last.
No general admission fee is required, but all pickers must prepay for a minimum amount or have an Adventure Farm Pass.
At check-in, each picker prepays for minimum quantity. If you pick more, any extra litres will be charged at checkout.
Nope! Your pass includes free entry to the strawberry fields. You will pay strawberries by litre.
Yes. All berries picked must be purchased. Please pick responsibly.
There are no refunds for under-picking, but you’re welcome to return to the fields and pick more to complete minimum prepay.

Yes! You can buy Already-Picked berries, sunflowers and pumpkins at the Farm Market—perfect if you prefer not to pick.
