By: Aarika Copeland | Category: Recreation/Leisure | Issue: May 2024

Berry picking in Northeast Oklahoma is a cherished summer tradition that offers families a delightful escape into nature, coupled with the joy of harvesting their own fresh, juicy berries. The region’s fertile lands and favorable climate make it an ideal spot for a variety of berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, to thrive. This hands-on activity not only allows families to indulge in the sweet flavors of the season but also provides a unique opportunity to connect with the earth and learn more about where our food comes from. Beyond the berry patches, many farms enhance the experience with additional family-friendly activities such as petting zoos, picnic areas, and scenic farm tours.

Supporting local farms through berry picking is a wonderful way to contribute to the local economy and promote sustainable agriculture. By choosing to pick your own berries, you’re not just getting a basket full of freshness but also ensuring that your purchase directly benefits the hardworking farmers and their families. Each visit is a chance to show appreciation for the dedication that goes into maintaining these farms and preserving the agricultural heritage of Northeast Oklahoma. As you plan your next family outing, consider exploring some of the region’s best berry picking farms listed below.
