Strawberry Season Has Arrived in the Portland Metro Area!

One of the sweetest signs of summer in the Pacific Northwest is finally here—strawberry season! There's nothing quite like picking fresh, sun-ripened strawberries straight from the field, and we're fortunate to have some amazing local farms throughout the Portland metro area offering U-pick and farm-fresh berries.

Whether you're planning a family outing, stocking up for homemade jam, or simply looking for a fun way to enjoy the season, visiting a local berry farm is a great way to support our agricultural community while making lasting summer memories.

Here are a few local farms worth checking out this strawberry season:

• Smith Berry Barn – North Plains
• Heikes Berry Farm – Hillsboro
• The Zurita Farm – Hillsboro
• Boones Ferry Farms – Hubbard
• South Barlow Berries – Canby
• Red Berry Barn – Sherwood
• Columbia Farms U-Pick – Sauvie Island
• Topaz Farm – Sauvie Island
• Sauvie Island Farms – Sauvie Island
• Bella Organic Farm – Sauvie Island
• Albeke Farms – Oregon City
• Hartnell Farms – Clackamas
• Olson Farms – Damascus

Before heading out, be sure to check each farm's website or social media pages for current picking conditions, hours of operation, and availability, as strawberry season can move quickly depending on weather and crop conditions.

Summer in Oregon is short, so now is the perfect time to gather friends and family, grab a bucket, and enjoy one of the region's most beloved seasonal traditions. Fresh strawberries, beautiful scenery, and supporting local farms—it's a win-win-win.

Happy picking!
