blueberries, raspberries and strawberries

Sauvie Island Farms will begin picking 'Early Blue' blueberries on 
Wednesday,  June 17.  

This variety of blueberry has just started to ripen, so careful picking is required to get the sweetest flavored berry.  
Yellow and red raspberries are ripening. U-pick will open on Wednesday,  Small quantities of sweet ripe fruit can be found in the fields, and you will find there are lots of green that will ripen as we get more sunshine.

Blues and Raspberries at Sauvie Island Farms are $3.00 per lb. for u-pick.

We will not have fresh pre-picked blueberries or raspberries right now, waiting for more to ripen. 


Our strawberries fields are still open for u-pick.  We have a surprising amount of ripe Hood and Shuksan berries in the fields.  We will keep the strawberries open for sure for the rest of this week. 
U-pick strawberry price is $2.50 per lb.

Our Shuksan strawberry field is producing some beautiful berries this week, so we have opened up our pre-picked strawberries by order only for pick up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week only.  
Please place your orders for a full flat-10 lbs $34 or a half flat-5lbs $18 at 503-621-3988 or go to our website sauvieislandfarms.com and click on the order form link. 
The pre-picked is  just for the SHUKSAN variety.  
Hoods and Shuksan are open for u-pick this week.
We have lots of space to social distance while you are at the farm.  We ask that you continue to respect other's space and to please continue to follow our covid safety suggestions.  We welcome you to the crops that we have listed as ripe and ready to pick, and also ask that you do not enter other areas of the farm that are not open for picking.  We are all trying to stay safe while harvesting our crops this year.
