We went to Emma Lea Farms for strawberry picking and were surprised by how poor the whole experience was. We paid $30 for a large container that we couldn't even fill up because there were barely any strawberries left and the ones remaining were mostly rotten. Of course this wasn't mentioned to us or else we wouldn't have paid $30 or wasted our time with two young kids. We tossed out half of the strawberries the next day. Wouldn't we get better quality strawberries for cheaper at a supermarket? What's the point of going to a farm? The staff at Emma Lea Farms were rude and uncaring. Upon leaving the farm I put the strawberries on a table for a quick photo with the tractor and one of the staff came with her spray to clean the table that I had the strawberries on and sprayed all over our strawberries. Our 1-year old was hungry so we wanted to feed her in the car before driving away but were told by staff that we had to leave the parking lot. We understood and decided to move the car to the street outside of the farm. The staff closing the parking lot told us that we weren't allowed to park on the PUBLIC street because that's their property. A quick Google search tells you that the street is no one's property and it's public. I emailed them to let them know but they never responded. Unless you want rotten strawberries or poor attitude I would stay away from this farm. This farm has by far been the worst farm I've ever been to. How could you go wrong with local strawberries?? read more

I have come here many times throughout the years. I picked strawberries & blueberries this year. I feel empathetic towards local farmers in general consideration given to many factors including climate change, inflation, now tariffs.. etc. I like to support "local" Unfortunately, this year I found both the strawberries & blueberries tasteless. As well, they should make adjustments to their smoothie section of their menu. Just a complete lack of flavour. One can still have a healthy smoothie be delicious. One also has to take the time and train staff. It's a "hit" or "miss" when you come here. When it is bad I call into question their hiring process. read more

Emma Lea is my second stop on Westham Island. We love it for the play area, the yummy concession stand, the smores in the fall, and the pumpkin experience. Their little store is great (if less stocked than Westham) and they usually have farm fresh eggs. We were there on a live music weekend too, where a local one-man band was playing music while we sat by the campfire and I legit think I was in a hallmark movie for an hour. read more

I understand what a working farm entails. I was there for strawberry picking on their last stretch of their spring run. I spent about an hour. It was enough time. To be honest, their strawberries aren't that good considering it's a local berry and you've just picked it. It's not sweet for the variety chosen it was bland. Ambiance was pretty, I feel it's a great location for a stroll and being a children's activity with ice cream stands, coffee, pastry etc... Staff was informative and very nice. I'd pass if you're actually going to pick up quality strawberries. read more

A great place for family fun! They offer blueberry and strawberry picking depending on the season. There's an area where they sell selected produce and retail items. The main attraction is the delicious ice cream served with fresh blueberries and strawberries. You can choose from soft or hard ice cream. Not an ice cream fan, try a milkshake, sundae, or smoothie. Vegan smoothies are available. There's seating available to enjoy your ice cream. Parking is complimentary but will get busy on the weekends. read more

This farm is definitely the most popular place to be in all of Ladner, hand's down! It's located five minutes from the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, where my kid and I visited recently on a hot summer day. Passing the farm on the way to the park, we could see the cars lining up to get into the parking lot here and the sign advertised strawberries and blueberries and ice cream and more, so we decided to stop here after our foray at Reifel. Upon returning to the farm, the parking lot was fuller than before (if that's even possible!) and cars were parked out on the street. When we finally parked, we walked toward the ice cream area (nothing better than an ice cream on a hot, sunny day, right?). Well, the line was like a gazillion miles long! And it was barely moving. We decided to forego the ice cream. They had a food truck selling lobster rolls (which, coincidentally, are one of my all-time favorite foods, having lived in Boston for a few years!). I think it was called "The Lobster Shack". The posted menu looked amazing, but I wasn't keen on spending over $20 per lobster roll, and then just eat it in my car. (For that price I'd rather go to a restaurant for lunch, you know?). My kid and I went inside the small store there. They had beautiful boxes of fresh strawberries for sale, gourmet jams and jellies and honey, frozen pies, and a few other foody treats. The consensus is that this place is best known for the U-pick it strawberries, and blueberries, too, so my kid and I decided to return to the farm here for that purpose. The fact that there are so many loyal, returning customers to this place, who've been coming here for many years, speaks volumes. read more

Sunflowers, donkeys, and tractors are just a few of the views you will see at Emma Lea Farms. As for me, I agreed to go because theirs an ice cream shop, which I had a soft-serve vanilla blueberry sundae. While savouring my ice cream I had fun walking and taking photos of the beautiful scenery. They also have fresh produce, fruits and vegetables, honey, jams and even grass-fed meats. A children's play area and picnic tables are available which is perfect for relaxing while kids can play. It was a short yet marvellous experience which I highly recommend visiting if you want a unique mini getaway from the city. read more

Went here during Strawberry season and there's plenty to pick from. You'll have to pay for different sized buckets before you go in the field (you can't bring your own). They also have prepicked berries at the market too if you don't want to pick. The strawberries we picked had way more flavor than the ones you at the grocery stores! Not sure if its just because we picked it right off the bush or if the grocery stores ones have been just sitting around for a while. But the taste is noticeable. read more

We visited on the last weekend of strawberry picking and it turned out to be a great idea. I thought it'd be more difficult to find quality berries, but it was remarkable how many strawberries were just waiting to be picked! Emma Lea Farms is a great spot to enjoy a nice day with family and friends. The fields offer tons of seasonal berries including strawberries, tayberries, black currants, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. While you can stop by and pick up a flat of berries in the shop, the highlight is being able to u-pick and get out in the fields to find your "berried" treasure. After purchasing a basket or bucket, you head on over to the fields to fill it to the brim. Depending on the time of season and how busy the fields can get, it could take 30 mins or it could take an hour. On the day we visited, it was super easy to find our bounty and had our bucket filled rather quickly. Bring sunscreen, a hat, or whatever sun protection you've got as you'll likely need it on the warmer days. Wagons are also available, but they are not suitable to lug the kids in. Once you've completed your picking, head on over to the shop to see what other goods they have to offer and consider some ice cream or a milkshake to cool down after all your hard work! read more

We arrived around 10 am which is perfect timing because it had a breeze and not a lot of people arrived yet. It took us around 2 hours to fill the bucket. We are a bit picky... only picking the big ones. I love that this place isn't too far and has area for kids to play after. We will definitely come back again next year. read more

Good place for a summer family outing. Plenty of strawberries to pick and they were small in size but very sweet! We ended up taking back home more than planned. You don't have to buy a box and there's no entry fee. There is a store to get fresh veggies. We got peas and it was nice to get these fresh vs frozen. They also have food and drinks/shakes and ice cream. Plenty of parking and seating. read more

I have been coming here for years and although it is busier than it used to be, they still have some of the best berry picking in BC! We always come for their blueberries which are juicy, ripe and HUGE if you look hard enough. They also have tay berries, black berries and raspberries but those bushes are quite thorny so I occasionally buy some of their prepicked ones which are a reasonable price. With COVID this year, you need to purchase a bucket ahead of time, prepay and then fill the bucket. Every other year, we have had no problem bringing out own and picking to our hearts content. Overall, my recommendation for berry picking! read more

For BLUEBERRY PICKING FANS! This is THEE PLACE to go to if you have the patience and time and steadiness of hands to pick and be PICKY CHOOSERS in SEARCH of the BIG BERRIES! Spent about 2 hours and ended up picking about 5 lbs worth of blue berries. Please don't go crazy and be too optimistic to pick buckets of blue berries if you haven't been here before or have not been here for awhile. The 5lb box was about $17.99. You pay in advance for the empty green box. Make sure to get your $ worth and pick to the MAX. For those seasonal pickers who pick every year, I did see a sign for REPEAT customers to bring in the same previous Emma Lea white buckets to save $1.00. Afterwards, I went to the Ice Cream Shoppe, which is part of the Emma Lea Farms and got a blueberry milkshake (soooOooo delicious) and a a Mixed Berry with Vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was definitely refreshing after a hard work in the Sun picking blueberries. I highly recommend this place for choosing big blueberries. You got to do the work in picking to get what you want. read more

My first-ever berry picking experience was awesome thanks to Emma Lea Farms! We were just a week too early for blueberries and raspberries, but we got a good haul of strawberries, blackberries and tayberries, which were new to me but extremely delicious. Don't overlook the unfamiliar berries as you might just find a new favorite. Prices were fair: $7 for a strawberry tray, $16 for a basket for all other berries, $32 for a 2-gallon bucket. Due to the timing of my visit, many of the best and juiciest berries had already been picked with other fields not yet open to the public, so you may want to think twice before buying the largest sizes of bucket (unless you have some heavy-duty baking to do)! On-site ice cream shop was tasty and cheap, they have plenty of hand sanitizer and hand washing stations available to keep you healthy, and the proximity to Vancouver beats all the berry farms in Langley and Abbottsford. All in all, I'd come back any time! read more

Emma Lea Farms - Strawberry, blackberry and tayberry haul in early July - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

Such a fabulous place to go for upick berries. And kids love this kind activities. We went for the strawberry upick in mid June and the place was pretty busy particularly earlier in the day. By the mid afternoon the farm was less crowded and there were less of a line up to pay. There were quite a bit of strawberries to pick during mid June and they go by $2.50 a pound. The strawberries were very fresh and sweet. We ended up getting about 9 pounds of strawberries in the end. It was so hard to stop ourselves from picking because we were consistently on the hunt for an even bigger and redder strawberry each time we picked the next one. Several families bought even more as we saw them carrying a wagon full of strawberries out. The farm even has a little concession shop for food and berry ice cream. Nice mini getaway out of the city. read more

Very nice family-run farm. Well kept and clean. They have u-pick for strawberries, tay berries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. I saw that they have peas and pumpkins too! They're all a short walk from the parking lot and shop. The bushes are well managed, not full of spiders or weeds around it. Pro tip: bring your own bucket. Check in with the staff in front first so they can weigh your bucket. They have smaller trays that you can take for free, or you can buy a bucket from them for $2. I like that they don't charge you for the weight of the container! I paid $7 for a little more than half a bucket, about 4 lbs of blueberries. They have a hose and a few large farm style sinks around that you can use to clean yourself or the crops you picked. The ice cream shop was awesome to cool down afterwards with a sundae and a kombucha. There are lots of tables and chairs to sit as well. Note: no pets allowed at all. read more

I quite liked this farm! It well kept and pretty clean compared to other farms I have been. There was so many bushes to pick from and when we went it was not busy at all. I would suggest to bring your own bucket and start picking. The bushes we picked from had big blue berries and we easily filled two buckets and only paid $16. Our friend suggested to go when it's cloudier but we took our chance. It was quite hot but there was a bit of breeze going. I would definitely try to go again if it's more cloudy. There's also a small stand that sells ice cream and shakes; which is nice after you're finished picking. Aside from that, other things they sell in the farm are more fruits, jam, and honey. I recommend coming to this farm for berry picking! read more

While You Pick Farms are nothing new, every summer we are totally smitten with berries and local fresh fruits. We are happy simply because it is an excuse to go out and do something in the sun! Emma Lea Farms is a short drive South of Vancouver, right on Westham Island in Delta, BC. Something about slaving over my own food that it makes them taste all the more better. Emma Lea Farms isn't an organic farm, but they use an integrated pest control management system to minimize the use of pesticides. Your berries and the environment is a little safer. Their farm is a fair size and the people are super friendly, fair priced and don't treat you like immigrants. (Oh, this other racist cherry farm in Kelowna I could go on forever). Trolleys, buckets and boxes are available for use / purchase and while your precious around. It is also extremely helpful should your little ones gets tired of walking. The farm offers a few species of berries - strawberries, raspberries, boysenberries, loganberries, black currants, etc... Sometimes berries has been over-picked the previous day so it is always good to call ahead for the most up to date picking information at 604.946.8216 or check their website http://www.emmaleafarms.com. The picking date can change depending on the spring weather. Prices are about $1.50/lbs - pretty economical vs $3.99/lbs at your local supermarket!

Highlight: HOT Blueberry Sundae! This place has a wonderful quaint feel. Starting from the small parking lot to the two shacks. Beyond these is an expansive field catered for u-picking. The main shack is where you pre-weigh your container, buy a container if you didn't bring one, or simply skip the picking and buy freshly packed berries and vegetables on hand. The second shack is labeled as "Emma's Ice Cream" which features milkshakes and sundaes. Go straight for their hot blueberry sundae. And when I say hot, I mean literally. Yum! Okay it's not really piping hot, but a warm blueberry compote. It wasn't simply drizzled but generously poured on the cup and on top of vanilla ice cream. It's $3 for a small cup or $4 for a larger size. Or how about a blueberry milkshake prepared with a laddle of fresh blueberies, a scoop of ice cream and milk in a blender. What more can you ask for in a farm? The u-pick experience is better here than the others I've tried. Although it's a smaller area, if you come early, there were only a handful of people so you can have your own row for yourself. The raspberries were a little bit more difficult of get into because the plants were tall and in the pathway. But with everyone going for the blueberries first, your practically on your own. Three things that are refraining me from giving this a perfect star and tempting me to drop it down to three stars. One, how about another shack that serves a few goodies like freshly baked pies, roasted corn and snacks that make this trip even more worthwhile. Two, a decent bathroom, please. Not two portalets with pee, tissue and whatever else is scattered all over. Yes, it's a farm. But the year is 2009. Just look over at Krause Berry Farms for ideas on how to build a separate his and hers bathroom on a farm. Three, cash only. Really? Is this an Amish farm because I must have misread the signs. I understand the low prices, but with no ATM in sight it would help make people spend more especially if they traveled this far already. For a place like this, it obviously helps to plan ahead. However, if more thought was put into accommodating the guests visiting the farm, this would be my number one choice for a family-friendly affair. read more

Saturday, Sunshine finally come back to Vancouver after a week of raining. It was nice to drive to Emma Lea's farm, out of the busy street and traffic. It's opened every weekend until the fall. Emma Lea's farm has the best tasting strawberry. That's exactly what I think when I say something is the best. Their strawberries are very sweet, like melting in my mouth. I couldn't help it to eating while picking. I know I shouldn't do that, lol. However, strawberries and raspberries are almost gone to the end but they have boysenberries, tayberries, black currents, blackberries, blueberries coming up different times. I will definitely come back for boysenberries because I don't know who those are, lol. Now I know it is very labour intensive to pick berries and requires patience as you need to spend time to search for the best ones, lol. We spent 2 hours there but only picked like no more than 2 dollars of raspberries. I don't know how those people could pick a full basket. Even my bucket costed me 2 dollars, lol. We ended up buying 10lb blueberries from the farm. They are so sweet than those in the market. And, there is an ice-cream shop there. Mixed berries sundae was so good but mixed berries milkshake and smoothies were too sour for me. Anyways, it's a good place to spend your weekend and very family oriented. read more

Emma Lea is still the go-to berry farm for me and many of my friends. Why? Integrated Pest Management to control critters.

Now there is a super play area for youngsters, a live burro, lots of picnic seating, and that ice cream shack! OMG. Fresh fruit sundaes, just fruit of the day and ice cream, nothing else. read more

Farm is pretty far from where we live, however it was worth the trip. I was sceptical about u-pick blueberries, whether there were any left for the u-pickers. Glad to say, there were so many berries with great flavour & good size. The fields open to public were large with rows upon rows of blueberries. I was in blueberry heaven! The ice cream was was refreshing & line ups were not long. Surprising, as it was on a weekend. July 23,2022 read more

Came here to pick blueberries. We arrived shortly after lunch. The parking was full! In fact, cars are already parked on the street. As we were walking in to the field, the lineup to weigh the blueberries is already quite long. Things that I don't like: not enough trolleys, long lineup in weighing the pickings, long lineup at the Ice Cream Shoppe. I think they should seriously rethink their process to make it more efficient. Perhaps, just assign 1 person to get orders and collect payment. I'm really not too keen on seeing people handling money and serving food and stick their fingers in the ice cream. People were standing in line for a good 30 minutes or more. Things that I love: fresh produce! The sweet peas were to die for. I should've gotten at least 2 bags. I prefer them to be steamed for a few minutes rather than eating them raw. They are so sweet. Love the blueberries. They were sweet and really fresh. Not mushy, not soggy, just fresh. Blueberries were $2 a pound and we probably got like 30 pounds. Milkshake was good, but I don't know if I want to line up for half an hour again. Glad that they have a washing station to wash your hands. It's a nice drive to Westham Island. It feels like you are in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Feels like a roadtrip although it's really not that far. :) Will be back for sure. read more

* Going back to the basics for Review 400 and FTR 250 * Forget places that prepare food for you. Forget the shops that sell things other people picked. Today we went back to the basics with a wonderful day of U-pick berry picking. This is a good sized farm that is very well maintained. The highlight today was the raspberries. I have never seen such large raspberries before. I wonder what they feed them (only half joking as this is a non-organic farm). The size was a bit scary as I normally prefer smaller berries because they usually taste better. There were plenty of very ripe and easy to pick berries and we loaded up quickly. Priced extremely reasonably at $1.50/pound. There were some remnants of strawberries (it is past the season) left and we picked just about a pound. Also priced at just $1.50/pound. The tayberries, blackberries, boysenberries, and blueberries were all still before their prime picking point, but some are looking like they might be ready soon. After getting home I can confirm that both the raspberries and strawberries are very flavourful, perfectly ripe, and that is coming from me with a big red stained smile straight to you! I'm still not sure how the raspberries get so big yet still retain such good flavour. But I'm not complaining! Don't forget a hat and water - it is sunny out there! read more

*Thanks for a great season Emma Lea!* And thank you yelpers! This is exactly how I wanted to start my birthday day! Breathing in the clean air, picking and possibly a little singing too! With the big, blueberries just dying to be picked, the flying seagull scaring away scavenger birds--not that I saw one around--and a quiet Friday morning, it's hard to find a negative thing to say! Some suggestions for pickin': Definitely bring to the fields the wagon (go John Deere!), more buckets, and bucks than you think you'll need. We picked nearly 20 lbs and could have kept going if we didn't run out of space and cash! Save room for bean and potato buying! (As I will be doing next season!) There's lots of boxes that you can transfer your gems into for the ride home too. (Ask if they aren't stacked under the outdoor sink.) Wash your hands! Even their portapotties have real soap, a sink and pump water to clean up, how swanky! When you get 'em home include these "fruits" of labour: Canning: -Make blueberry jam, and jars of canned blueberries (they both make a great prezzie), Baking: -Some blueberry and zucchini loafs Freezing: -Freeze berries Eating: -Fill yourself full of fresh berries, if you didn't get enough on the field already (shhhhh don't tell - there's a no sampling rule) read more

On the way to Emma Lea Farms, you'll pass by at least two other U-pick farms. They look sad and deserted. Then you ride up to Emma Lea and the place is filled with people picking strawberries and eating delicious ice cream. You'd think that the popularity would affect the amount of berries you could pick, but we had a pretty great haul yesterday. I think they're pretty good about alternating which fields people can pick at so there aren't any overpicking problems. Prices are great -- this season the strawberries were $1.50 per pound. We got $26 worth and made anything and everything you could possibly make out of strawberries except jam -- pie, soup, butter, salsa... We won at strawberries. One star was lost for their strawberry milkshake. Too much milk, too few strawberries. read more

Marc's intro reminds me of the book I'm reading now, "In Defense of Food" - straight out of that book! Went here with Reena and her cousin today and had a great time! What a lovely farm and a scenic drive through Ladner onto Westham Island. The little single lane wooden drawbridge to get to the farm is so cute. This is a very well organized farm with staff to weigh your basket/ice cream bucket before you head onto the field. Areas are well market and they have wagons if you have kids or buying out the whole farm like Reena :) I had a great time picking blueberries which are in season now. Raspberry season just finished but they still have a few on the bushes. Or you can cheat like me and get the pre-picked ones at the front for only $2.50 a container! Blueberries are well priced at $1.50 a pound. There's a little ice cream shop on site and jams available for purchase. I would definitely come back again! Just FYI - CASH only! read more

Today was our third vist (first of this year) and the pricing was great! In one location you have fresh Strawberries, Raspberries, Tayberries, Blackberries and Blueberries. I have been to a few U Pick farms in the area but by far Emma Lea always comes out on top. The location requires a nice car ride and crossing a century old wooden bridge. Another bonus is their ice cream stand that also sells fresh smoothies/milkshakes made from the berries. The staff are friendly and their is a decently sized parking lot. For picking berries yourself, I advise going early to avoid the afternoon sun and to get first dibs on the day's crop. The website is helpful but I would always call in the morning to be sure what you want to pick i s available. One thing I will touch on (based on other reviews) is that the owner of the farm does come off a bit firm on customers that do not follow the rules. I once had witnessed a customer being asked to leave and the berries they had picked were taken back because they were picking in a closed field. I can understand the owners manner as it is her farm and if the fields are closed it would be for a good reason. UPDATE: Arriving at the farm for another picking day we started in a field and within 5 minutes the owner herself came over and let us know that there were new fields just opened and they were PACKED with huge, beautiful, blueberries. read more

This is probably one of the best U-pick farms I've been to. It's very family friendly. They've got little picnic tables to hang out at and have lunch if you brought one. As Katie said, the drive up is very scenic and u-pick is pretty straight forward with the weigh in and weigh out + paying. I picked around 25 pounds of blueberries and my cousin about 10 lbs. We did well. The berries were plentiful and flavourful. A tip: the blueberries taste better from the smaller bushes with less foliage since the plant uses less energy making the leave and more energy in producing the fruit relatively speaking to the larger, leafier plants. My biggest pet peeve was when I was sort of in the groove of picking my berries in a certain area and some random person would come into my spot and pick berries there too. Umm.. hello? I was planning to pick that! I can also verify the fresh berry sundaes they sell are superbly delicious and just what one needs after 2 hours on berry picking. It beats costco's very berry sundaes! They also sell some lite jams, and other produce there like okanagan cherries, potatoes, beans, cabbage... To summarize: A fun and tasty way to spend a morning, while getting back to our hunter/gatherer (sort of) roots, read more

I loved picking strawberries and being able to wash and eat them right there. Cute place with lots of goodies (fruit, honey, jam, beets, candles, meat, coffee, smoothies, ice cream).

Visited the farm at the start of blueberry season this year and was not disappointed! The blueberries were freshly picked, large, and full of flavour - so sweet too. The farm has a small ice cream stand which isn't all that exciting. They scoop Chapman's ice cream (I think) and top it or mix it with fresh fruit from the Emma Lea farm. We had a blueberry/raspberry sunday. There is also the main stand selling fresh fruit and some veggies from surrounding area farms. I bought a 10lb box of blueberries which was around $2 per pound. If you'd rather pick your own, that's also an option (and less expensive). Remember to bring your own buckets and to weigh in first before picking! read more

We had so much fun filling our buckets with berries here! There are enough vines that even on a busy day you won't have a problem filling your bucket up. My only gripes here are that they don't take credit cards (debit or cash only!) and the washrooms are quite small. The women's washroom only has two stalls, so you can probably expect a line up on a busy day. Still, this is a great place to bring the kids as there's a playground and sandbox for the little ones to enjoy. Or just go with some friends and make a day of it! read more

HAVE AGAIN: picking blueberries was five stars wonderful! The raspberries and blackberries were at the end of the season. One star for the fresh raspberry and strawberry milkshakes - they were more like smoothies and it was hard to tell they had any ice cream. read more
