Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Fraser Valley British Columbia? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Fraser Valley British Columbia,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.
If you are having a hard time
finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.
New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive
family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best
camping weather. See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks,
guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.
New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings,
but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make
through the links to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn

What's in season in October 2024, and
other timely information:
Notes for October 2024: Fall is here and that means apples are in full force but they will be gone fast (see this new page for Apple Orchards in your area!).
Yes, apple prices are up, like they are for everything else. Some crops continue until
frost, like raspberries, blackberries, figs, corn and tomatoes. Check your area's
specific
crop calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates. Click here for U.S. Apple Crop facts.
See these pages to find a local
Apple festival,
and other festivals.
We have a guide to apple varieties and a guide to peach varieties. Also recipes, canning and freezing directions for
apples, tomatoes,
corn blueberries,
peaches, etc.
Don't forget about pumpkin patches, corn mazes and hayrides!
And we have a
master guide to the all varieties of pumpkins and winter squash!
See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me! It is easy to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. Also note,
there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now. They have all
copied their information from here and usually do not ever update. Since
2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see
anything wrong or outdated, please
write me!

Comments from a visitor on July 10, 2011:In response to
another customer stating that Maan Farms (in Abbotsford, British Columbia,
Canada) was not organic... the ad states 'uses natural growing practices' A
grower can still use these practices and still not be organic. I think
people need to understand what the true definition of what organic means. I
had to say something because the way the customer feedback sounds, it is as
though they were calling the farm owner a liar. Just my two-bits worth
Comments from a visitor on June 28, 2010: "Maan
Farms of Abbotsford B.C. is not organic. They apply non-emergence herbicide
to the strawberry patch in the spring which is typical practice for all
farms in this region."

Comments from a visitor on December 08, 2010: "So I am here
looking for local Christmas tree farms and happened upon the Willow farm
comments. A farm our family visits often. Surprised to read that there was a
negative comment I read further... I don't know if I'm the only one who sees
this or not but having spent much time there...I can tell you exactly what
the farm owners response was to "just the two of us"... No more TOUR BUSSES,
have no more room for TOUR BUSSES. "Tour busses" sounds just like "two of
usses doesn't it? Hopefully this woman will read this and give the farm a
second chance...not something you want to miss out on :)"
Comments from a visitor on October 19, 2010: "It's really unfortunate that whoever
commented that the lady at Willow View was rude got such a poor impression
of the farm. As the next poster suggested, I'm sure it was a
miscommunication. I live a few blocks from there and take my children
weekly. It is are not just families who go, by any means. I regularly see my
retired high-school teacher there picking apples with his wife. Admission is
free, the grounds are festive, the produce abundant, the staff friendly and
efficient, the kids can play for hours, the Cider Slushies are AMAZING! And
be sure to get a Snack Jack pumpkin for the best roasting seeds ever. :)"
Comments from a visitor on October 17, 2010: "I just called to ask if the farm
was open today (their website suggests it would be). The lady answered and
said yes, they were open. She asked if we were a family and I said, no "just
two of us." She quickly cut me off and said, "no more two of us." I was
confused and asked her why not, to which she said "can't accomodate any more
two of us's." She was remarkably rude and thus, I would not recommend giving
any business to this place! Clearly not a couples-friendly farm!!"
Comments from a visitor on September 22, 2009: "You can join the facebook group.
They have fall festivals, pumpkin festivals, playground and picnic areas,
petting barn and hayrides .I loved taking my daughter here. Great place for
families to come out and spend the day, and lots of great produce to buy!!"
