Skip the gym. Skip the supplements. Skip the overpriced green juices.

If you want to feel better this summer—in your body, your mood, and your relationships—do this instead:

Enjoy a blueberry picking activity with your family.

It sounds simple. But spending a few hours at a quiet, organic U-pick farm like Windberry Farms in Abbotsford, BC can give you more genuine health benefits than most self-care routines.

Here’s why this low-key summer activity is the feel-good reset you didn’t know you needed.

1. Gentle Exercise That Doesn’t Feel Like a Workout

Blueberry picking gets you moving—without feeling like exercise.

You’ll walk. Reach. Squat. Stretch. All while chatting, laughing, and breathing in fresh valley air. It’s full-body movement, disguised as fun.

Your Apple Watch might not buzz… but your body will thank you.

👉 Plan your visit to Windberry

2. Sunshine + Nature = Instant Mood Boost

No screens. No traffic. No Wi-Fi in the fields.

Just sunshine, open space, and that rare feeling of being fully present.

Science backs it up: time in nature lowers cortisol, reduces anxiety, and increases serotonin levels. At Windberry Farms, that happens naturally—no guided meditation app required.

3. Blueberries Are a Brain Food Powerhouse

They’re not just tasty—they’re a certified superfood.

Blueberries are packed with:

Antioxidants
Vitamin C
Fiber
Brain-boosting flavonoids
Natural anti-inflammatory compounds

And when you pick them fresh from certified organic bushes like ours? Even better.

4. Hands-On Nutrition for Kids (That They’ll Actually Eat)

Want your kids to fall in love with real food? Let them pick it.

U-pick isn’t just fun—it’s educational. It helps kids understand where food comes from and gives them a sense of pride in what they’re eating.

Spoiler: They’ll eat way more fruit than usual.

👉 Bring the whole crew this summer

5. A Digital Detox You’ll All Actually Enjoy

We don’t realize how much time we spend disconnected from real life—until we’re back in it.

At Windberry, your phone will go quiet. Your shoulders will relax. And your conversations will go from “What should we do after this?” to “Let’s just stay a little longer.”

This isn’t just a U-pick—it’s a reset.

6. Real Food, Real Air, Real Memories

Your kids won’t remember the supplements you bought. They’ll remember the blueberries they picked in the sun. The bees in the garden. The dirt under their nails. The nap on the ride home.

And honestly? So will you.
