Berry Picking in Oregon: What You Need to Know
Oregon is home to a range of spots for berry picking, spread across the state's different growing regions. This page rounds up every berry picking location listed in Oregon so you can compare distance, ratings, and reviews before deciding where to go.
Pacific Coast Berry Country
The Pacific Northwest is arguably the finest berry-growing region in the country, with Oregon's Willamette Valley home to the marionberry—a blackberry hybrid developed in Marion County and named for it—alongside major blueberry, raspberry, and boysenberry production. Washington's Whatcom County is often called the Raspberry Capital of the World for its enormous commercial output, and the Puget Sound lowlands support extensive blueberry farming as well. California contributes one of the largest strawberry industries on earth, with u-pick fields scattered through the Central Valley and coastal regions, while Alaska's wild salmonberries, blueberries, and huckleberries sustain a foraging culture distinct from the commercial farms further south.
