Strawberries are ripe for the picking right now across the Lower Mainland, and this sweet time of year won’t last forever. 

One of the province’s favourite crops, the B.C. Strawberry Growers Association says they have about four dozen growers in the fertile Fraser Valley, farming strawberries on a collective 600 acres. That’s a lot of strawberries!

Many of these growers offer u-pick, which is a great way to get your hands on the freshest berries possible at a great price for just a little old fashioned sweat equity.

Some farms offer fun interactive experiences, too. Places like Emma Lea Farms in Delta on Westham Island are perfect destinations thanks to their amenities like a stand that serves up fresh berry shakes, smoothies, and sundaes, along with a kids’ play area and a farm shop.

If you're in Abbotsford, head to Maan Farms. The family-run farm features not only plentiful fields of fresh strawberries in season, but they also have an incredible store packed with their food products from pies to chutneys and jams, along with their very own fruit wine. Plus they have a massive play area (with admission) and a petting zoo and tons of incredible activities on site. (PS, they also offer goat yoga classes!)

Here are 12 Metro Vancouver farms open for strawberry u-picking. Always check with the farm for current conditions, hours, and availability.
