Blueberries

 Blueberries are ready to pick at Sauvie Island Farms.




The first variety to ripen on the farm are the Early Blue blueberries. These medium sized berries are sweet and have a classic blueberry flavor.  They are our favorite.  This year the bushes are loaded with ripe fruit.  It is time to come out and get your fill of blueberries, fresh from the bushes.

$3.50 per lb for u-pick

$50 10lb flat or $28 5lb 1/2 flat if we pick them for you.  

We are picking by order only.  And we must have your order by 5pm the day before you want to pick up at the farm. 

Call or text 503-621-3988 to place an order.













Small amounts of Tayberries and Yellow raspberries are ripening also.
Red raspberries are still a week or more from being ready to pick.

Flowers on the farm this week: Shasta Daisies, Lavender, Baby's breath, and a few Dahlias.

Strawberries at Sauvie Island Farms

 The strawberries are riping quickly with the warm weather we have been having, so we have changed our plans and will OPEN on Thursday June 8th, 8am-6pm 


and continue to be open Monday-Saturday, closed on Sundays.

We have 4 varieties of strawberries at the farm this year.  

Hood, Shuksan, Puget Crimson and Mary's Peak.

The Hoods and Shuksans  are on the 4th year of harvest, the plants are stressed and the fruit is smaller, but still very sweet.  These 2 are ripe and ready to pick NOW.  

The Puget Crimson and Mary's Peak are just starting to get big beautiful ripe berries, they should be good to harvest for the next 3 weeks.

All u-pick strawberries are $3.00 per lb.

Fresh picked strawberries will be available by order only starting Saturday June 10.  

$45 flat or $25 1/2 flat.  

*We will NOT have HOODS for fresh pick this year.  We only have 12 rows of Hoods and are keeping those for u-pick only.  

We need to have your order in by 5pm the day before you want to pick up at the farm.  

Call or Text 503-621-3988 to leave your order.    

Peonies have not lasted long this year, we have had a lot of strong winds, but you can still cut them for $1.00 a bloom.

Strawberries 2023

 We have been patiently waiting for the strawberries to ripen at Sauvie Island Farms.

This year on the farm we have Hood, Shuksan, Puget Crimson and Mary's Peak strawberry varieties.

The Hood and Shuksan fields are on their 4th year, they are usually good for 3 harvest seasons. We kept these 2 varieties in for another year, because we were unable to get these varieties to replant over the past 2 years.  All this to say, they are producing, but not a large crop.  

We have a small amount of Hood and Shuksan ripening and will be open for a few hours for the first pick of the season 

Saturday, June 3.  9am-1pm  


We will then open for the season on Saturday June 10  8am-6pm

hopefully with Puget Crimson and Mary's Peak as well as the Hood and Shuksan, 

we will continue to be open Monday-Saturdays  8am-6pm


If you wanting to get the first taste of Oregon grown strawberries, come out Saturday.

We also have beautiful peonies in bloom for $1.00 per bloom or 12 for $10.
