Spring & Summer bring a variety of berry picking options to Northwest Arkansas. Berry picking with kids has been a tradition for my girls and I since they were babies. I remember walking up and down the rows with my youngest in her baby carrier and sunbonnet while I picked blueberries, then going home & making blueberry pancakes for dinner. Something about picking them from the farm guarantees they taste so much better than what you can buy at the store!
Below are some of the family-owned berry farms in the Northwest Arkansas. While I've made every effort to ensure information is up to date, it's always a good idea to check with the farm, using the info provided below, about availability. Many of the farms have hours that vary based on weather and how many berries are available that day. Know of another u-pick farm you'd like me to add? Please email me with details at Karaa@macaronikid.com.
