There’s something about picking fruit yourself that makes it taste better. That’s why we could never grow tired of visiting one of Idaho’s many u-pick farms spread all over the state. There’s one farm, in particular, that you’ll want to make sure you visit during the upcoming weeks. Famous for their delectable berries, this strawberry farm is the perfect place for families to spend a spring day. Don’t miss out on this delicious treat and be sure to check it out!
Berry picking season is nearly here and we couldn't be more excited. Be sure to start off this exciting time of year with a visit to The Berry Ranch, a delightful strawberry farm located in Nampa, Idaho.
Despite its name, The Berry Ranch offers up way more than just berries. Started in 1992, this family-owned ranch is a real working farm, complete with naimals and all sorts of crops including sweet corn, pumpkins, and (of course) berries.
Strawberry season starts usually around mid-May and it's during this time that The Berry Ranch opens up to visitors for pick-your-own berries. Remember to bring your own containers!
Strawberries tend to stay ripe until late June, but you'll want to make plans to visit the farm pronto. Absolutely no sprays are used on the berries, so feel free to eat as many as you'd like while you scour the fields for plump strawberries.
The farm charges just $6 per person as a picking fee and the fee is credited towards the cost of the berries that you pick. The first seven pounds of berries is $2.52, but the price decreases the more you pick.
There's something strangely rewarding about picking your own berries. You could easily spend hours filling up your containers with as many strawberries as possible. After all, you can always freeze the ones that you don't eat right away.
Strawberry picking season hasn't started quite yet, but you can keep an eye on The Berry Ranch Facebook for updates as soon as it does. One the season starts, the farm will be open from Monday through Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. You'll find their ranch at 7998 Hwy 20, Nampa, ID 83687.
