Farm Type: U pick
Region
CentralTown
Lacombe CountyWelcome to our U-Pick!
You are welcome to take a self directed tour of our fruit, veggie and flower u-pick farm on August 17 and 18 and pick your way through our beautiful gardens!
We are a family farm growing U pick fruits and vegetables since 2009 starting with our first crop of strawberries which promptly got hit with hail! Days later there hung the strong scent of berry juice, shock and heartbreak in the air. What an education!
Crops can be gone in minutes – frost on blossoms, drought and heat, hail and snow, it’s crazy. What a business to be in! But it’s not always horrible and we still enjoy nurturing seedlings and seeing them mature into something people enjoy picking.
After a long Alberta winter’s wait, the rush of Spring begins with planning and planting, tending, weeding, watering and sky watching. As crops produce the best flavors cool Alberta nights offer, the invitation goes out via word of mouth and social media videos to come over and pick, pick pick! In 2023 we added more picking pleasure for our customers: a u pick flower garden!
Even though we are open to the public from 7am to 8pm everyday during the production months, we thank Alberta Open Farm Days and Servus Credit Union for extending another layer of invitation to come explore rural Alberta and Billyco Junction Gardens where we can be found tucked right between our major urban centers.
