Coming from town: take Mt. Baker Highway east, turn onto E. Kelly Rd and go about half a mile. The field is on your right — look for the flower rows.
Before you come
What to bring
- Containers. There are some at the stand, but a flat box or a couple of buckets from home holds more and bruises less.
- Closed shoes. The rows are dirt, and they're wet in the morning. Sandals will end badly.
- A hat and water. There's no shade in the middle of the field in August.
- Gloves, if you're planning on digging potatoes.
- A jar with water in it, if you're cutting flowers and have a long drive.
Come early on a hot day. Berries pick better before noon, and the field is a lot more pleasant at 10 than it is at 3.
Once you're here
How a visit goes
Park and check in
Pull onto the grass and stop by the stand. You'll get pointed at whichever rows are open that day — it isn't the same two weeks running.
Pick at your own pace
Nobody's timing you. Take the kids down the strawberry rows, dig your own potatoes, cut a bouquet. Eat a few while you're out there — that's what no-spray is for.
Weigh and settle up
Bring it back to the stand to be weighed. Produce is by the pound, flowers by the bunch. Cash or card, both fine.
Questions we get a lot
Good to know
Do I need a reservation?
No. Come any Wednesday or Saturday between 10 and 4 during the season. There's no entry fee and no ticket — you pay for what you pick.
Are you really no spray?
Yes. No pesticides, no herbicides, no synthetic fertilizer, on any of it. It means more weeds between the rows and the occasional bug in the beans, and that's a trade worth making.
Can I bring kids?
Please do — it's most of the reason the place exists. Keep an eye on them around the rows, and let them eat the strawberries.
Are dogs allowed?
Leashed dogs are fine on the paths and in the parking area, but not in the picking rows.
What if it rains?
The field stays open — this is Whatcom County, we'd never open otherwise. Wear boots. If something bigger is going on, it'll be posted on Facebook that morning.
Do you sell already-picked produce?
Sometimes there's picked stock at the stand, depending on the week. If you're counting on it, call ahead.
Is the field wheelchair or stroller accessible?
Partly. The parking area and the stand are on level ground, and some rows are firm enough to manage in dry weather. The berry rows are soft dirt and get rough. Call and ask about the current conditions and we'll tell you straight.
Can I pick for a wedding or an event?
Yes, and it's worth calling first so enough is standing when you get there. Give a week's notice for anything large.
Still not sure?
Just call the field.
Fastest way to find out what's ready, whether the rain's a problem, and if it's worth the drive today.
