Let’s face it—most summer activities blur together after a while.
Fast food. Movie nights. Crowded amusement parks. Maybe a road trip if you’re lucky. But how many of those actually stick in your kids’ memories?
Windberry Farms offers something different. Something real. Something they’ll talk about for years.
We’re a certified organic blueberry farm in Abbotsford, BC, and every summer, families from all over the Fraser Valley come here for one reason: to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with food, and with each other.
Here’s why bringing your kids to Windberry might be the most meaningful thing you do this summer.
1. It’s Not Just Blueberry Picking—It’s Farm Life, Unfiltered
Most places let your kids pick berries. We let them pick blueberries, chase chickens, run barefoot, and see where real food comes from.
Windberry isn’t a “tourist farm.” It’s a fourth-generation organic farm run by real people. Kids get to see a working farm in action—bees buzzing in the flowers, pigs behind the fence, vegetables growing in rows.
It’s more than fun. It’s formative.
2. Real, Organic Berries Kids Actually Love to Eat
Blueberries are one of the easiest “yes” foods for kids.
They’re sweet, snackable, and at Windberry—they’re also certified organic, meaning zero chemicals, zero sprays, and 100% peace of mind.
Letting your kids pick what they eat (literally) is a great way to build healthy habits. Bonus: they’ll probably eat more fruit than ever.
3. It’s Safe, Spacious, and Actually Relaxing
Let’s be honest—most outings with kids are exhausting.
But Windberry is different. We’ve got plenty of space to spread out, explore, and enjoy the day without crowds, lines, or overstimulation.
There’s shade to rest in, fields to roam, and no pressure to rush.
Pricing:
U-pick: $2.75/lb
Pre-picked: $4.25/lb
Frozen berries: Available year-round at our farm store
4. The Butterbox: Easy Snacks, No Cooler Required
Hungry kids are cranky kids—and you won’t need to pack snacks for this trip.
Our self-serve farm store, The Butterbox, is open daily from 8am to 10pm and stocked with:
Frozen blueberries
Pasture-raised organic chicken
Rainbow eggs
Fresh sourdough (Fridays)
Raw honey
Local artisan goods
It’s the easiest, most wholesome snack station around.
5. You Can Turn It Into a Whole Weekend Adventure
Why make it a quick trip when you can turn it into a full-on farm stay experience?
Our on-site rentals are family-friendly and packed with charm - The Farmhouse – 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, porch, and BBQ.
6. It’s the Kind of Summer Memory That Lasts
Your kids won’t remember what you ordered at the drive-thru. But they will remember this:
The sound of bees in the flower garden
The taste of warm blueberries straight from the bush
Running through the orchard with stained hands and full bellies
Helping carry their own basket back to the car
These are the moments that matter. Even small details—like the right type of fence around a chicken coop or garden—can help make the farm experience safer and more enjoyable.
What Makes Windberry Different?
Maybe it’s the same thing that makes our cousin company, Westpeak Equipment, stand out in a completely different industry. Both are built on the same philosophy: take care of the land, the people, and the tools that make honest work possible—whether that’s raising chickens or lifting 11,000 pounds with a Merlo telehandler.
Final Thoughts: The Best Summer Memories Aren’t Bought. They’re Picked.
If you’re looking for a family-friendly summer activity near Abbotsford, skip the chaos and come to Windberry.
We’re open for blueberry picking July through mid-August, and we’d love to help you create the kind of memories your kids will carry forever.
The berries are ripe. The sun is warm. The moment is waiting.
