For the very best u-pick strawberry picking, come to Serviceberry Farms, located near Strathmore and 20 minutes east of Calgary. Picking strawberries is a pleasure in weed-free fields - 3 ½ acres or 6 miles of strawberry rows. We grow the June-bearing (July in Alberta!) Kent strawberries. In addition, we grow saskatoons and a limited variety of fresh vegetables, supplies which vary from day to day.

Current conditions - July 3, 2008.

Strawberries are blooming and green berries are forming - finally! Due to cool weather, we do not anticipate to open for strawberry picking until mid-July. We will continue to monitor crop conditions and ripening. Opening date for picking will be posted approx one week in advance. Please check back for updates.

EMAILS: We lost several email addresses due to a computer malfunction, therefore we are unable to notify many customers as a reminder when strawberry season begins. If you wish to be notified giving you information on picking dates and strawberry conditions, please go to the Contact Us page. Thank you to all those who have responded - your email address has been noted.

During the growing season, current conditions are updated regularly on this website and on a recorded telephone message. To be sure we are still picking, please call 403-934-2412 before coming to the farm.
