Blue Dot Farm at Enumclaw holds 4.9 from its reviewers, on a small farm south-east of Seattle. What You Can Pick Blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website has a security certificate mismatch and could not be read. Nothing about hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 825-1623. Pro tip: The Rusty Plow is also at Enumclaw and posts its ripening status as it happens. If you are driving out that way, check that page first.

Blueberry Blossom Farm at Snohomish holds 4.9 from 78 reviewers, which puts it among the best liked farms in this region. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in the Snohomish season, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website refused the connection on both attempts during this pass. Nothing about hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 568-4713. Pro tip: Snohomish has six blueberry farms within twenty minutes and most of them publish hours. Mountainview gives dates and a no-ticket promise; Bybee is open until eight at night.

Blueberry Glenn at Duvall grows eleven heirloom blueberry varieties, which is more than almost anywhere, and sells them all at one price: $4.25 a pound. What You Can Pick Blueberries - eleven heirloom varieties, $4.25 a pound Flowers - from the farm's own u-pick flower garden What Else is Available Farm-grown vegetables, local goods, and in the farm's own words "drinks, snacks, and community". Good to Know Open Wednesday 3pm to 7pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm and Sunday 9am to 1pm. Three sessions a week and nothing else. Pro tip: eleven heirloom varieties at one flat price is an invitation. Pick a handful of each into separate bags rather than mixing them, and you will find out what a blueberry is actually supposed to taste like.

Bybee Farms at North Bend picks heirloom blueberries from bushes planted in 1981, keeps an eleven-hour day seven days a week, and is one of very few farms anywhere that charges a different price for cash. What You Can Pick Blueberries, heirloom varieties, from 17 July. $3.60 a pound for cash $3.75 a pound by card Good to Know Open 9am to 8pm, seven days a week, which is the longest week of any farm in this region. Picking buckets and take-home boxes and bags are all provided, so bring nothing. There is a picnic area with shade and water. Dogs are not allowed in the fields. Cash or cards, but no cheques. Pro tip: bring cash and save fifteen cents a pound. On a ten-pound picking that is a dollar fifty, which is not the point: the point is that a farm being straight with you about card fees usually means it is being straight about everything else.

Bob's Blueberry Patch at Kent is one acre of blueberries beside a house, and it is the cheapest picking in this region at $2.85 a pound. What You Can Pick Blueberries, at $2.85 a pound with a five-pound minimum. The 2026 season opened on 15 July. Good to Know The week here alternates in a pattern nothing else on this site uses: Mornings, 9am to 1pm - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday Evenings, 2:30pm to 7:45pm - Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday Cash or cheque only. There is a large back garden for children. Pro tip: the five-pound minimum is the thing to plan for. At $2.85 that is about fourteen dollars, which is not much, but turning up for a punnet is not what this patch is for.

Bob's Corn and Pumpkin Farm at Snohomish is one of the biggest autumn destinations in this region, with 1,453 reviewers, and its pricing rewards booking ahead by a startling margin: online tickets are half the gate price. What You Can Pick Pumpkins, from the u-pick patch, "great for carving, decorating, or baking". What It Costs Summer weekday - $7.95 online against $15.95 at the gate Summer weekend - $10.95 online against $20.95 Autumn pricing is, in the farm's own words, "2026 Pricing Coming Soon!" Good to Know The country store opens 10am to 7pm daily. The Sunflower Festival starts 22 August and the Fall Festival 19 September. Mastercard and Visa, with Apple Pay in the store. EBT is not accepted. Pro tip: booking online halves the price. Not trims it, halves it. There is no reason to arrive at this farm without a ticket already bought.

Bolles Organic Farm at Monroe is a small organic farm in the Snohomish River valley. What You Can Pick Strawberries and blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm has no website and publishes nothing that could be found. Ring (425) 876-9878. It holds 4.3 from 23 reviewers, the lowest of the small farms in this region. Pro tip: Terra Valley Farms is also at Monroe and picks five different berries plus kiwiberries. If you want certainty about what is on, that is the call to make first.

Bow Hill Blueberries in the Skagit Valley is the best-known heritage organic blueberry farm in Washington, and it is unusually precise about the difference between its shop season and its picking season. What You Can Pick Blueberries. The fresh season ran 13 July through the week of 17 August, "while supply lasts". U-pick is closed for the 2026 harvest. Good to Know The farm remains open through 13 September: 10am to 4pm Monday to Thursday and 10am to 6pm Friday to Sunday. Ring 360-399-1006 for questions and for large fresh orders. Pro tip: "while supply lasts" is doing real work here. Bow Hill's heritage bushes crop lightly compared with modern varieties, which is exactly why the fruit tastes as it does and exactly why the picking closes early.

Bryant Blueberry Farm at Arlington is the most thoughtfully equipped picking farm in this region for anyone bringing children or anyone with mobility needs: hand-washing stations and a wheelchair-accessible portaloo, alongside a playground, barn animals and jumping pillows. What You Can Pick Blueberries - the season starts 26 June and runs early July to mid-September Thornless blackberries - seasonally Good to Know Buckets are provided for picking and boxes to take the berries home. There are hand-washing stations and a wheelchair-accessible port-a-potty. There is a playground, barn animals, picnic areas and jumping pillows. Pro tip: an accessible lavatory on a blueberry farm is rarer than it should be, and it is the difference between a comfortable morning and a short one. This is the farm to choose if that matters to anyone in your party.

Jubilee Farm at Carnation is a certified organic CSA farm in the Snoqualmie Valley, best known locally for its autumn pumpkin patch. What You Can Pick Strawberries and pumpkins, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website returned nothing but a page label during this pass. In particular, whether the public may pick here without a CSA membership could not be confirmed, and that is the question that matters on a subscription farm. Pro tip: Oxbow and Fable are both minutes away in the same valley, and Fable publishes four picking sessions a week. If the CSA question puts you off, that is the alternative.

Celebration Farms at Fall City runs a three-season year: berries in summer, pumpkins in autumn, Christmas trees in winter, with a gap in between that it announces rather than hides. What You Can Pick Blueberries and strawberries - June to August, opening 20 June Pumpkins - September and October Christmas trees - November and December What Else is Available Tractor rides around the farm, a farm shop, animal encounters, sunflower fields and fire pits for s'mores in winter. Good to Know Closed for the summer season; the Fall Harvest begins 25 September. In season the farm opens 10am to 6pm Wednesday to Sunday, with the shop 9am to 6pm. Pro tip: 20 June is early for a Washington blueberry, which means this farm is picking a fortnight before most of the Snohomish and Arlington farms open at all.

Carpenter Creek Farm at Mount Vernon holds 4.9 from its reviewers, in the Skagit Valley north of Seattle. What You Can Pick Blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website returned nothing but a page label during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 941-9927. Pro tip: Bow Hill is twenty minutes away and publishes its whole season calendar, including the fact that its u-pick has closed for the year. Worth a look before driving north.

Charlotte's Blueberry Park at Tacoma is not a farm at all, and that is the point: it is a public park owned by Metro Parks Tacoma, planted with blueberry bushes that anyone may pick free of charge. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in the midsummer season. Good to Know This is a city park rather than a business. There are no opening hours in the usual sense, no price and nobody to ring about the crop. Its 1,377 reviewers make it one of the most visited places on this site, which for free fruit in a city of 220,000 is not surprising. Pro tip: free means picked over. Go early in the season and early in the day, and walk to the far end of the park rather than picking the bushes nearest the car park, which is what everyone else does.

Jones Creek Farms at Sedro-Woolley is a Skagit Valley orchard growing a long list of apple and pear varieties, and it trades under the name Skagit Valley Fruit. What You Can Pick Apples and pears, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the orchard's own words. Good to Know The orchard's website returned nothing but a page label during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Pro tip: the Skagit Valley grows apples that ripen weeks later than the Snohomish farms, so an orchard trip here in October is still early rather than late.

Colello's Farm Stand & Produce at Port Orchard holds 4.8 from 518 reviewers, which for a farm stand on the Kitsap Peninsula is a remarkable number. What You Can Pick Strawberries and raspberries, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm has no website: its Facebook page is the whole of its published presence, and nothing operational could be read from it. Ring (360) 876-5277. Pro tip: 518 reviews on a Kitsap farm stand means locals go back constantly. That is usually a sign the produce is better than the marketing, which here is non-existent.

Craven Farm at Snohomish is an autumn destination first and a picking farm second, with a beer garden, a cow train and an Alice in Pumpkinland corn maze. What You Can Pick Pumpkins, during the Fall Festival, 19 September to 1 November. What Else is Available Sunflower Days, 22 August to 6 September, Friday to Sunday noon to 6pm. The Farm Track Beer Garden, a Farm Kitchen, the Alice in Pumpkinland corn maze, wagon rides, a cow train, animal viewing, a Hayground play area, mini golf and a jump pad. Good to Know The farm publishes no prices on any readable page; activities are ticketed through a separate system. Pro tip: Sunflower Days and the Fall Festival do not overlap. There is a fortnight in September when neither is running, which for a farm this busy is the only quiet time it has.

Picha Farms at Puyallup has been farming the same valley ground for generations and runs both a berry farm and a pumpkin patch, with 486 reviewers. What You Can Pick Strawberries, raspberries and pumpkins, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's home page carries its history rather than its hours. In its own words, Facebook is where the harvest updates go. Ring (253) 841-4443. Pro tip: the Puyallup Valley runs a fortnight ahead of the Snohomish farms to the north. If the Seattle-side berries are not on yet, they may well be here.

Henna Blueberry Farm at Carnation grows six blueberry varieties across twelve acres in the Snoqualmie River valley, and holds 4.9 from 221 reviewers. What You Can Pick Blueberries, with Duke, Reka and Draper as the primary varieties. Good to Know The farm publishes no hours, no season dates and no price. Its Facebook and Instagram are the places to look. Ring (425) 806-2751. Pro tip: Duke is the early variety and Draper the late one, so a farm with both has a season running most of the summer. Ask which block is picking rather than assuming it is all ready at once.

Bailey Farm at Snohomish is the most unusual listing in this region, and the reason is worth stating up front: everything it names as pick-your-own is a vegetable or a flower. What You Can Pick In the farm's own words: "Red Potatoes, Pickling Cucumbers, Slicing Cucumbers, Honey Select Sweet Corn, Snap Peas, Green Beans, Carrots, Red Beets, Zucchini, Swiss Chard, Kale, Cilantro, Dill, Sorrel, Parsley & u-cut Flowers". No fruit appears on that list. Good to Know Open daily 8am to 5:30pm, June through October. Pro tip: pick-your-own pickling cucumbers and dill on the same morning is a genuinely useful thing and almost nobody offers it. If you make pickles, this is the farm.

Mercer Slough Blueberry Farm sits in a 320-acre wetland park inside Bellevue, which makes it one of the strangest and best-placed picking farms anywhere: a working blueberry field surrounded by a nature reserve, minutes from the I-90. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in the midsummer season. Good to Know The farms' shared website refused automated reading during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (916) 396-2166. Pro tip: the slough has boardwalks and canoe launches as well as blueberries. Pick in the morning and walk the wetland afterwards, and you have a whole day inside the city.

Mountainview Blueberry Farm at Snohomish separates its two businesses cleanly, which very few farms of its size manage: the blueberries need no ticket, the Sunflower Festival does. What You Can Pick Blueberries, 8 July to 30 August, Friday to Sunday 8:30am to 5pm. What Else is Available A Sunflower Festival, 7 to 30 August, Friday to Sunday 8:30am to 4pm, which is ticketed. Good to Know In the farm's own words: "U-Pick blueberries don't require an admission ticket. Just pay for what you pick!" All dates are, again in the farm's words, "Crop Dependent and subject to change". Pro tip: the two seasons overlap for three weeks in August, and that is the weekend to pick. Blueberries in the morning with no ticket, sunflowers afterwards if you fancy it, and the drive out to Snohomish done once.

Olalla U-Pick Blueberry Farm on the Kitsap Peninsula runs by appointment only and narrows its own hours as the crop slows, which is unusually honest for a farm with 4.9 from forty reviewers. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in the farm's own words "hand-pick your own fresh blueberries", July and August. Good to Know Open Wednesday to Sunday, 8am to 1pm in season, with appointments running 8am to 11am. It is by appointment only, and the farm restricts its opening further as the season output slows. Pro tip: appointment-only on a small farm is not a barrier, it is a promise. Nobody has been through those rows before you that morning.

Skipley Farm at Snohomish is known among Pacific Northwest fruit growers for its rare and heritage varieties and its scion wood, which is a different sort of farm from anything else in this region. What You Can Pick Apples and pears, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website refused automated reading during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (206) 679-6576. It holds 4.0 from 207 reviewers, the lowest rating of any farm in this region with real volume. Pro tip: this is a collector's orchard rather than a family day out, and the reviews divide sharply along that line. If you want unusual apple varieties you will not find anywhere else, ring ahead and ask what is fruiting.

Remlinger Farms at Carnation is the largest operation in this region by visitor numbers, 3,145 reviewers, and it has become a fun park with a farm attached: a zip line, a brewery and a glass studio. What You Can Pick Strawberries, raspberries and pumpkins, in their seasons, from earlier research. The farm's own site does not name any picking crop. What Else is Available A Fun Park with a zip line, a glass studio, Remlinger Brewing, pies, a market and event spaces. Good to Know The one pricing fact the farm publishes is this: "General Admission is always $2 less online than the in-store price—no code needed." It does not say what either price is. Pro tip: whatever the gate price turns out to be, buying online saves two dollars a head with no code. On a family of four that is eight dollars for thirty seconds of typing.

Oxbow Farm & Conservation Center at Carnation is a non-profit rather than a commercial farm: an education and conservation organisation with a native plant nursery and a plant stand, on a working farm in the Snoqualmie Valley. What You Can Pick Strawberries and pumpkins, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Oxbow's own site emphasises education, conservation and the nursery rather than picking. Good to Know No hours, no prices and no picking crops are published. Email thedirt@oxbow.org. Pro tip: if what you actually want is a farm walk with children and an explanation of what is growing, this is much better suited to it than any of the commercial farms nearby. Just do not count on filling a bucket.

Pearson's Bees and Berries at Renton is a u-pick blueberry farm run on appointments, and it does one thoughtful thing worth naming: the grassy lot inside the gates is reserved for volunteers and for disabled, pregnant and pushchair visitors, with everyone else on the street. What You Can Pick Blueberries. In the farm's own words, "We are a U-Pick Blueberry farm". Good to Know At the time of checking: "The end of the 2026 Season is upon us!" with a few final appointments and some specials left. Parking inside the gates is reserved as above; use street parking otherwise. Email info@pearsonsbeesandberries.com. The farm is on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Pro tip: reserving the close parking for the people who need it, rather than for whoever arrives first, tells you most of what you need to know about how this farm is run.

Pigman's Produce at Olympia is a long-standing farm stand and picking farm at the southern end of Puget Sound. What You Can Pick Strawberries and raspberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website could not be loaded during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 491-3276. Pro tip: Olympia is the far southern end of this region and there are only two picking farms down there. If you are making the drive, ring both first.

Schuh Farms at Mount Vernon is one of the best-known farm stands in the Skagit Valley, with 922 reviewers, in the middle of Washington's tulip country. What You Can Pick Strawberries, blueberries and pumpkins, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website refused automated reading during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 424-6982. Pro tip: the Skagit Valley is an hour north of Seattle and worth the drive in its own right. Bow Hill's heritage blueberries and Jones Creek's orchard are both within twenty minutes of here.

Suyematsu Farms on Bainbridge Island is one of the oldest working farms in Puget Sound, farmed by the same family since before the Second World War. What You Can Pick Strawberries and blueberries, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website refused automated reading during this pass. Nothing about hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (206) 842-1429. Pro tip: Bainbridge is a ferry ride from downtown Seattle, which makes this the only picking farm in the region you can reach without a car. Check the sailing times as carefully as the farm's.

Swans Trail Farms at Snohomish is one of the biggest autumn farms in this region, with 1,907 reviewers and a corn maze that changes design every year. What You Can Pick Strawberries and pumpkins, in their seasons, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The domain on this listing no longer resolves. Nothing about hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed, and the website field needs correcting. Ring (425) 330-3084. Pro tip: Snohomish has three big autumn farms within fifteen minutes, and Bob's Corn publishes its ticket prices while Craven publishes its festival dates. If you are planning October, start with whichever of those suits.

Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm is one of two blueberry farms run inside the City of Bellevue, in a wetland park a few minutes from downtown, which makes it about the most accessible picking in this whole region. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in the midsummer season. Good to Know The farms' shared website refused automated reading during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (916) 396-2166, which is the number on the record for both Bellevue farms. Pro tip: this and Mercer Slough are ten minutes apart and run by the same operation. If one is picked out, the other very likely is not, and both are inside the city.

Four Elements Farm at Puyallup is a small farm in the valley south of Seattle. What You Can Pick Blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm's website could not be loaded during this pass, so no hours, prices or season dates could be confirmed. Ring (360) 829-7000. Pro tip: Linbo is also at Puyallup and announced its 2026 season over on 2 August, which gives you a rough sense of when the valley finishes.

Terra Valley Farms at Monroe picks a longer list than any farm in this region, and one item on it is genuinely rare: kiwiberries. What You Can Pick In the farm's own words: "Picking your own fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and kiwiberries. We also offer a variety of grapes, seasonal produce, and vibrant flowers". What Else is Available Scenic views, farm animals and picnic areas, plus a venue business with gardens, pavilions and a cabin. Good to Know No hours, no season dates and no prices are published. Email info@terravalleyfarms.com. Pro tip: a kiwiberry is a hardy kiwi the size of a grape with smooth skin you eat whole. They ripen in early autumn, they are almost never sold, and this is the only farm on this site growing them.

Friendly Grove Blueberry Farm at Olympia is a small blueberry farm at the southern end of this region. What You Can Pick Blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm has no website and nothing operational could be read from its Facebook page. Ring (360) 528-0207. Pro tip: Olympia is an hour south of Seattle and there is very little picking down there, so a phone call is worth more here than in the crowded Snohomish end of the region.

Pine Lake Blueberry Farm at Sammamish is one of the closest picking farms to Seattle's eastern suburbs. What You Can Pick Blueberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm has no website and publishes nothing that could be found. Ring (425) 270-9137. It holds 4.2 from 36 reviewers, the lowest in this region. Pro tip: Bellevue's two city-run blueberry farms at Larsen Lake and Mercer Slough are fifteen minutes away and both publish more. If proximity is the point, start there.

Hazel Blue Acres at Arlington grows WSDA certified organic blueberries in three varieties, and makes the most reassuring promise a picking farm can make: you need bring nothing at all. What You Can Pick Certified organic blueberries, mid-July through mid-September, in three varieties: Reka, Draper and Liberty, each with its own flavour. Good to Know Open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm, closed Sundays. In the farm's own words: "If you come to the farm to pick your own blueberries, there is no need to bring anything. We have everything you need for picking and transporting them home." Cash, cheque and cards all accepted. The farm asks you to leave dogs at home as a courtesy to others. Pro tip: Reka is the early one and tastes almost wild, Draper is the crisp middle and Liberty the late sweet one. Ask which is on rather than picking whatever is nearest the gate.

Raising Cane Ranch at Snohomish picks the strangest and best list in this region: in August, figs, blackberries, William's Pride apples and aronias, with a cidery attached. What You Can Pick Figs - in Washington, which is remarkable in itself Blackberries William's Pride apples - a named early variety Aronias - chokeberries, which almost nobody picks anywhere What Else is Available A cidery with an indoor and outdoor tasting room. Good to Know No hours and no prices are published. Email info@raisingcaneranch.com. Pro tip: aronia is astringent raw and extraordinary cooked, and William's Pride is a disease-resistant early apple bred for exactly this climate. Neither will ever appear in a shop. That is the whole argument for this farm.

Harvold Berry Farm at Carnation runs berries in spring and then keeps going all summer on vegetables and flowers, which is a longer useful season than its name suggests. What You Can Pick Berries in spring, and at the time of checking zucchini, green beans, cucumbers and cutting sunflowers. Good to Know Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm. No prices and no season dates are published. Ring 425-298-5125. Pro tip: cutting sunflowers in August on a farm you came to for strawberries in June is the sort of thing worth a second visit. The Snoqualmie Valley in late summer is a better drive than the berry season anyway.

Fable Farm at Fall City runs a co-operative blueberry u-pick on four sessions a week, each a different shape. What You Can Pick Blueberries. The farm's own notice reads "2026 U-Pick Season OPEN!" Good to Know Open Wednesdays 10am to 2pm, Fridays 3pm to 7pm, Saturdays and Sundays 9am to 3pm. No prices are published. Email fablefarmcoop@gmail.com. Pro tip: the Friday afternoon session, three until seven, is the one that suits anyone working a normal week. Almost every other farm in the Snoqualmie Valley shuts by five.

Canter-Berry Farms at Auburn picks blueberries and sells them back to you in every form imaginable from a historic barn full of blueberry-themed goods. What You Can Pick Blueberries. The 2026 season opened on 18 July. What Else is Available A farm store in a historic barn offering, in the farm's own words, "a selection of Blueberry themed gifts". Good to Know Open 9am to 4pm. Its old blueberries4u.com address now redirects to canterberryfarms.com. Pro tip: Canter-Berry's blueberry chutney has been made here for decades and is the thing to bring home if the picking has already finished for the day. It is not a gift shop trinket, it is the reason a lot of people drive to Auburn.

The Rusty Plow Farm at Enumclaw posts the most human status message of any farm on this site: "Closed for Ripening. Hopefully Monday 23st. Keep checking this page!!!" What You Can Pick Blueberries, across two fields open through the back half of the season. What Else is Available Raw local honey. Good to Know The farm closes and reopens as the fruit ripens rather than keeping a schedule, and says so. Check the page before driving out, which is its own advice and worth taking. Email rustyplowfarm@gmail.com. Pro tip: a farm that shuts for a few days to let the fruit come on is a farm that would rather you picked something good than picked anything. Enumclaw is worth the second trip.

Linbo Blueberry Farm at Puyallup offers both u-pick and we-pick blueberries, and its 2026 season was over by the second of August. What You Can Pick Blueberries. In the farm's own words, "We offer U-pick and we-pick berries". Good to Know "The 2026 season is over! Thank you for your support!", posted on 2 August. No hours and no prices are published. Watch Facebook or Instagram, both of which the farm keeps. Pro tip: a season that ends on 2 August is a short one even for Puyallup. Treat the second half of July as the window here and set a reminder for next year rather than checking in August.

The Country Store and Farm on Vashon Island is a long-standing island institution, part shop and part farm, reached by ferry from West Seattle or Tacoma. What You Can Pick Blueberries and raspberries, from earlier research rather than the farm's own words. Good to Know The farm has no website. Ring (206) 463-3655. Pro tip: Vashon is a ferry ride and the sailings are the constraint, not the farm. Check the Washington State Ferries timetable before anything else, and give yourself the whole morning.

Biringer Farms at Arlington picks six berries, and two of them are things almost nobody grows for the public: tayberries and black caps. What You Can Pick In the farm's own list: "Strawberry, Raspberries, Tayberries, Black Caps, Blueberries and Blackberries". Pumpkins follow in October. What Else is Available A Jolly Trolley ride and the Berry Barns. Good to Know The berry farm is closed for the season. The farm's own note reads "Come back to see us in October for pumpkin season!" Pro tip: a tayberry is a raspberry-blackberry cross with a flavour like neither, and a black cap is a black raspberry. Both are too soft to sell and both are the reason to come here in July rather than to any of the six blueberry farms nearby.
