Krause Berry Farms


Today Sydney and I shared a great summer adventure with our friends Christina and Jack as we headed out to Langley to the Krause Family Berry Farm.

This amazing place has so many things for both kids and adults to enjoy.  We met up with Christina's friend Leanne and her son Ewen who live on a farm right by Krause Berry Farm.  Sydney, Jack and Ewen had such fun playing together in the sand pit and playground.


There is an amazing patio there where you can get yummy treats of all sorts made with the bounty from the farm.  We enjoyed their signature corn pizza, berry milkshakes and berry shortcakes.



They also have a full fledged bakery and store where they sell all of their amazing prepared food as well as fresh produce and gifts.  I couldn't get over how delicious this mile high berry pie looked!


Syd had fun shopping and got herself this new hand knit ladybug hat.



The berry farm also has an estate winery on site.  There is a beautiful garden with sitting areas where you can enjoy a glass of wine.


There was even an artist amongst the flowers today painting away.  Sydney thought this was the coolest thing ever, especially because she was making a chicken painting!





The farm has a petting zoo with horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and rabbits.  The kids loved having the chance to see the animals.








After all that excitement we finally got around to berry picking.  We headed to the blackberry patch first where Sydney quickly filled her little white basket with luscious, juicy berries.








Then we hopped aboard a school bus which took us to the blueberry patch and we got ourselves a basket of those too.





We ended the day with an ice cream cone of homemade ice cream made with the berries from the farm as a reward for the kids for all their hard work picking.

What great fun we had checking out a new place and having another fantastic summer adventure!
