It’s berry season yet again, and that means weekend spent out in the fields picking your favorite berries around the Newberg-Dundee area!

Each of these Strawberry U-Pick Farms marked “confirmed” for the 2026 season have been confirmed through their website, social media, or a phone call. Any that are marked as “Call ahead” have not confirmed as of publishing. The other berry farms featuring raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries will be updated as the harvest season approaches.

Curious about the varieties? Scroll to the bottom and see the guide to Oregon Strawberries. I prefer Hoods and Shuksans myself, but they all have their own strengths. The best berry is the one in your hand!

The berry categories are in order of when they become ripe. This is a living list, and Newsberg will be updating as I hear about more U-Pick farms in the area.

One thing I’ve learned in the three years publishing this guide: everything is subject to change. Make sure and call before you go. Sometimes the farms are picked out and need a week to recover. Sometimes weather can impact hours. Other times the farms, being family-run, can run into staffing issues and may need to be closed. It’s best to pick up the phone or check the websites before heading out.

Each farm card name is linked to the farm’s website, and address is linked so you can see the distance from your current location.

Strawberry Varieties

All information is furnished by oregon-strawberries.org. Visit the site for more strawberry information and recipes.

  • Albion Strawberries: First introduced in 2006, Albion Strawberries are a hybrid variety bred in California. They’re fast growers, climate-resilient, and produce conical, large, sweet berries when fertilized and watered well. Great to eat fresh, but also good for canning, baking, and freezing.
  • Hood Strawberries: Hoods are known for their high sugar content and deep red color throughout. Eat them fresh and fast! Hoods are known to mold faster than other varieties due to the high sugar content.
  • Marys Peak: Marys Peak strawberries are some of the newer berries on the block, introduced in market for the 2018 season. Yielding medium to large sized berries of excellent firmness and flavor, Marys Peak strawberries are a deep red color throughout.
  • Puget Crimson: Puget Crimson are medium to large sized berries, dark red in color with excellent flavor that is well balanced between sweet and tart. While they can be frozen when harvested, they are primarily enjoyed fresh in late June or early July.
  • Shuksan: Shuksan strawberries are large, with a broad wedge shape and yellow/red seeds. They are bright red and glossy in appearance, medium-firm in texture, and excellent for eating fresh, freezing whole, or for making preserves and jam.
  • Sweet Sunrise: Sweet Sunrise combines the top characteristics of premium strawberries including Puget Reliance. This high yielding variety is a new favorite among u-pick and fresh market growers, and is known for its balanced sweetness.
