U-Pick Strawberries
U-Pick Strawberries in Boring, Oregon
June 20th, 2026
All good things must come to an end…
Tomorrow (Sunday, June 21st) will be the last day of our 2026 strawberry season. People have been bringing in some really beautiful berries today, and though there are still plenty of berries left to pick you may have to move around to find the clusters that haven’t already been picked. The photo above was taken today, Saturday, June 20th.
We’d love to see them! If you’re willing to have them shared on our social media, please reply to this email or send them to [email protected]. Your memories help us show others what the experience is all about and we love featuring our visitors!
We will have apple cider donuts and lemonade slushies available during U-Pick hours (while supplies last) because you’ll deserve something sweet after all that picking.
After Sunday, our farm will be closed until our pumpkin patch season starts in late september! Sign up below for our email updates to be notified about farm happenings.
U-pick strawberry tips
- Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are easy to wash – our fields are dusty and often muddy 🙂
- Pre-washing your berries before storage causes them to go bad sooner – wash right before consuming
- Eat, freeze, or preserve berries within 1-2 days of picking for best taste
- We love animals, but per food safety guidelines, no pets are allowed in the patch to avoid contamination.
- Our parking lot is not shaded, so please leave pets at home where it is cool and safe.
- Children must be supervised at all times – we are a real working farm with moving vehicles and equipment
- We accept cards and cash – but cash is extra appreciated to cut down on processing fees.
- Sign up for our email list to get picking updates straight to your inbox.
- Our narrow rows make it difficult for strollers to navigate between - please plan accordingly
U-Pick Strawberry FAQ's
Unlike many farms, we only pick when the rows are busting with berries! If we were open everyday we’d likely get picked over and the rest of the week people wouldn’t have enough berries to pick.
We are at the mercy of the weather, crop conditions, and nature so things can change rapidly or slowly depending. We take it a few days at a time, usually picking for 2-3 days then letting the field rest before picking again. As soon as we know when berries will be ready, we will always update our social media, website and email list and let you know – so keep an eye out for updates throughout the season!

Nope! We don’t. This is great news for our u-pickers because you get the first pick of all our berries – not what is left after a crew of pickers have picked the best for market.
You will need to bring containers to pick into and a way to pay for berries (cash or card).
It also helps to bring a bag/box/blanket to put in the car to set your strawberries on in case the containers get muddy in the field.
If you are picking a lot of berries, consider bringing a wagon to help you haul them. Please do not take wagons into the rows of berries, but leave it parked on the outside edges of the fields.
If you’re picking with kids, many people find it easier to bring a small container for each kid to pick into – then they transfer those berries into a bigger container later.
Please plan for dust, dirt and possible mud. If it’s hot you may want sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle. If it’s cold or rainy, please wear boots and a rain jacket as the fields have no shelter. It can be helpful to bring a bag/box to put dirty shoes in for the ride home.
Please leave snacks and outside food in the car so we don’t litter or attract other critters.
We are not a certified organic farm, but we strive to use healthy, sustainable methods for growing our produce. We rotate our strawberry fields every 2-3 years and plant cover crops in off-seasons. This method is costly and time-consuming, but the benefits are worth it. Rotating helps keep disease out of the field and minimizes pests which allows us to use less pesticides. Cover crops help add organic matter back into the ground, which reduces the need for fertilizer.
This farm is our job and livelihood so losing a crop to mold, disease, or pests would be devastating. We are grateful for safe, effective, pesticides (organic and conventional) that allow us to save our crops when absolutely necessary. We try using organic pesticides whenever we can. We eat everything that we grow, and it is important to us that it is healthy!
