Picking your own produce is one of those things growing up I always wanted to do but never had the opportunity for. It felt like something people only did in the movies (can you tell I grew up in a small town?) Now that I’m a mom and live in a city with many options, there isn’t a summer I miss taking my kids to pick berries or peaches. Though the heat in Oklahoma is real, this sweet family outing is well worth the sunscreen fight for the memories and delicious rewards!

Where to Pick Fresh Berries This Summer
Be sure to bring sun protection when you head out! We also recommend calling or checking each farm’s website and social media for the latest updates on what’s available for picking, any changes to their hours, or notices if they’ve sold out.
Agape House Berry Farm
Agape usually opens each summer in June for blackberry and blueberry picking. Blueberries typically ripen in early June with blackberries following in mid-June. Strawberries are more challenging for farmers to grow, so they are not always planted every year.
Buffalo Creek Berry Farm
Buffalo Creek grows blackberries, strawberries, sand plums, and black raspberries. They’ve also got a full garden where you can pick your own potatoes, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, okra, green beans, carrots, peppers, and onions. Be sure to check their Facebook page for the latest hours as they change daily based on what’s ripe. You might even find some other in-season goodies to pick while you’re there!
Conscious Community Co-op
While not technically a “you-pick” orchard, this is a great option if you live in Edmond and want to stay close to home. You can check out their Facebook page for updates on their hours and what activities they will be offering.
Growing Paynes
Depending on the season and weather, Growing Paynes is known to have seasonal produce like strawberries, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, squash, melons, green beans, potatoes, pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn!
McRay Farms
You-pick strawberry farm and pumpkin patch! Get strawberries by the pound, and baskets are provided.
Sorghum Mill Christmas Tree and Blackberry Farm
Sorghum Mill Berry Farm is a great location for Edmond locals to pick blackberries in the summer. Dates and hours of operation vary during the season, so call for more information.
Wind Drift Orchards
Peach and nectarine lovers won’t want to miss Wind Drift Orchards. The harvest season typically runs from May through September.
Tips and Tricks
- Always call ahead before packing up the kids! Farming conditions can change dramatically due to weather, low fruit supply, and more!
- Wear comfortable shoes. Now is not the time for flip-flops! You may be doing a lot of walking and/or navigating muddy trails.
- Bring water to keep the family hydrated. You can also check with the farm or orchard as they may have tables where you can bring your own picnic lunches as well.
- Bring cash unless you have checked with the farm to confirm that they accept credit cards or other methods of payment.
