There’s something a little magical about wandering through rows of berries, blooms, or fresh garden veggies with the sun on your face and a basket in hand. U-pick farms are one of the sweetest (and most underrated) ways to soak up summer while supporting local growers.
Whether you’re filling your fridge or just your camera roll, here are a few U-pick gems around Edmonton that are calling your name before the season says goodbye.

Every path feels like a discovery. Their on-site flower market is equally swoon-worthy, featuring a mix of farm-grown favourites and blooms sourced from other Canadian growers. It’s a total joy-fest for flower lovers, with fresh picks well into early autumn (if Mother Nature agrees, of course).
