10 places to go berry picking around Vancouver this summer
It’s berry season in BC and soon local farms will open up for u-pick so you can literally get your hands on all the berries you’re craving.
In the Lower Mainland, succulent strawberries are already starting to make an appearance at a farm near you.
There are plenty of spots throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland where you can go out into the fields and pick a variety of local berries, from strawberries to raspberries to blueberries. The prices for u-pick berries are generally far better than what you’ll find in a grocery store, plus gathering berries yourself is a great summer activity.
