We went last weekend, it was a lot of people and kids there. This is a huge farm that lots of varieties to pick. Now it's a good time to pick strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, peas, and corns. There are wagons to take ppl from one field to another. We got off at the strawberry field, but we don't really into the strawberry, so just took a look; then we got to the raspberry field, they looked good, but we barely eat raspberry; then we went to the Blueberry field, our destination was here. We saw another side of the field was having big blueberries, but they didn't open that side to us. And they said it was noon already, most of the big ones had been picked. I tasted a few, they were sort of big, but soured. We moved to other sides, but still the same. When we went home, most of them we made smoothies with honey. We also went to the peas field, not too many people. The peas were so sweet that we could eat them raw. But we went home to boil them with the skin, the skin was hard to eat, it was not snow peas, and too expensive when weighed with the skin. Good experience for the kids. They were happy. read more

Was disappointed last year but still gave it another chance this year. Sadly, even more disappointed this year to see how much the experience has declined. What was once a special local farm and family tradition now feels increasingly commercialized. We were charged $7 per person just to enter and take our annual photo by the growth chart, even though we weren't using the playground. We have been taking photos of our kids at the growth chart for over 15 years. The market was also significantly overpriced: the same Niagara peaches that sold for about $7 at grocery stores were $16, and corn was $1.25 per ear compared with 24 cents at a local grocery store. The frozen yogurt, once made with fresh fruit from the farm and real yogurt is now a frozen premix product loaded with sugar and tastes horrible. The issue isn't simply higher prices, it's paying more for lower quality and a less authentic experience. After 16 years of returning, our family will no longer be among those customers. If these changes continue, Barrie Hill Farm risks losing many of the loyal families who helped support it for years. read more

unfortunately, things have changed at barrie Hill It is now five dollars per person Monday to Friday and seven dollars per person Saturday plus your basket 4 L $19 so that's way way way too much to ask families and not that much to offer other than a few broken down kiddy toys. The grocery store is nice and has lots of nice things, but the pick your own is a fail and we will likely find another spot to. read more

Delicious strawberries, great value for a day activity with kids. The blueberries and strawberries are low to ground and very kid friendly height for pick your own. The blueberries were plentiful but small and not that sweet. However the strawberries were so juicy and delicious. You pay $9 per person (6 and under are free), then after you pick, you show your receipt and they deduct what you paid. So as long as you pick at least $9 worth, there's technically no entry fee. We somehow managed to pick under and was asked if we wanted to go back and pick more but was too lazy to. There are 2 different tractors that take you - one to the blueberries. The other to the apples, sweet corn, raspberries, strawberries. There weren't many raspberries to pick, and no one else was there probably for that reason. You can bring your own baskets, otherwise they have plenty and you can pay for them. The tractor wagon ride was very long and enjoyable for kids. They have a little playground area and lots of picnic tables. We tried the apple cinnamon froyo which was one of the flavours (the other ones were rasberry and blueberry). The apple cinnamon flavour was unlike anything i have ever tasted. A bit sour, very cinnamony, and sweet. It tasted like apple pie in a froyo. Overall it was great value! read more

I've been to this farm over 5 times now, each visit was for a different fruit season! Recently visited this farm with the intention of strawberry picking. It is always a great time and experience to pick fruit at this farm, as there is plentiful of plants ready to be harvested. The customer service is immaculate and made me feel like part of the family. I would recommend visiting their website to find out the proper times and seasons for the fruit you want to pick yourself, ahead of time. There are many options so if there so happens to be very few left of a certain fruit, they have other available fruits or vegetable to pick, and enjoy your time with loved ones. The silo and market are also very good to browse. After hours in the sun, it is refreshing to order some sweets from the silo. I got the frozen yogurt and the fruit panini. Both are amazing, I would avoid purchasing the donuts at the silo, as you can buy them in the market. Overall, one of the better farms I've visited, as their pricing, customer service, is hard to beat. read more

Barrie Hill Farms is a fantastic farm near Snow Valley. It's a fun place for the family to visit for a very berry experience. The sprawling fruit patches are a tractor ride away from the front parking and market area. It's literally strawberry fields forever, without the crowd! We visited late summer and happily caught the Fall strawberry season, along with plenty of ripe blueberries. We came away with two large baskets. Starting in early May, the farm has a selection of many other vegetables & fruits: asparagus, sweet corn, tomatoes, beans & peas, raspberries, apples and pumpkins. We noticed some local visitors came specifically to the market, so we followed suit. It was well-stocked with local produce, as well as jars and pies. I couldn't turn down some pecan butter tarts, while supporting this family farm that's operated since 1968. read more

We visited Barrie Hill farms for the first time. I did not know that a tractor ride to the farm patches takes place. My son was so excited to ride on a tractor. He was over the mooon. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The farm is well kept and so much fun. There is a fully stocked Market that has many delicious goodies to purchase. My mom bought these handmade frozen chicken pot pies. She had one and told me it was the best chicken pot pie she has ever had. As I was checking out of the store. A freshly made batch of apple cinnamon donuts was brought out. I was able to snatch the last box. Those delicious donuts were so fluffy and packed with cinnamon apple flavor. I can't wait to go back to Barrie Hill farms again. read more

I've been to Barrie Hill Farms a few times. It has a nice country charm and a wide variety of fresh produce and bakery items to purchase. However, I have been very disappointed in a few frozen fruit crumbles I have purchased there. Once in summer of 2024 and now twice in summer of 2025 I got crumbles that tasted as if they had zero sugar in the fruit mixture and no butter/margarine in the crumble on top. It was as if someone had thrown bare fruit in the bottom and then spread plain oatmeal on top which is so dry it blows off. I will not be trying them again. Also, I went apple picking there in September 2025 and had a hard time finding enough apples without worm holes in them to fill a bag. This was even harder to take as I paid for the privilege of doing the work myself and they were more expensive than if I had bought them in a store. read more

A variety of fruits and peas to be picked A very large farm Very nice frozen yogurt Nice scenery read more

A great spot that is open from Spring to Fall where you can to go pick your own fruits and veggies or visit the farm store to stock up on in season produce and other essentials. It's an excellent spot for families as well. My only feedback is that the pricing is slightly higher than other local spots, but otherwise, it's a great spot with lots of parking and great local produce as well as products from other farms (e.g. dairy, meat etc). read more

Very nice Farm if you come here with kids they will love it it is so much fun you can pick out many different foods and other things and the frozen yoghurt at the food stand is so good read more

Our GPS had taken us to the delivery entrance of the farm. Beware and turn at the 2nd driveway. We paid, got our baskets and waited for the next tractor to take us to the blueberries. There was a stop for strawberries but we were told by the staff that strawberries were sparse, so just blueberries for us. Once we got off the tractor one of the staff started us off in a row of bushes. If we couldn't find any more the staff could move us to a different row and we could try our luck there. After we had filled our baskets we took the next tractor back to get some yogurt and check out their little market before paying for everything. read more

Not only this farm is overpriced compared to the other picking farms in the area,but their employees are rude and arrogant.Went there to pick raspberries the other day,kids working there have no manners,gave us a patch that was picked from already,asked for another one,instead they were watching us,so we didn't pickup raspberries from the other side.Degrading and humiliating jail like experience.Don't go there,spend your money somewhere else. read more

I live not far from that farm and have been going to buy produce and pick for over 13 years. The staff and the quality of the produce can't be beat. Over the years the farm has evolved from a small pick your own, tonite current state as a thriving well stocked market. I love supporting local and love that this family owned farm hires and employees so many of our local people. If you're looking for a great experience with your children, try the pick your own options. You'll likely find cheaper produce elsewhere, but not the quality and satisfaction you'll get supporting this amazing family farm. read more

I had an amazing experience at this farm. I came here to pick strawberries and blueberries. It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. There was a tractor that takes you to the pick-your-own area. I started off on the strawberry side. I sampled some before I started to pick. They were so sweet! I was excited to fill my bucket with more strawberries. I went when there weren't much supply left. I had to walk around to hunt for some good strawberries to pick. It was a fun experience though. Afterwards I went to the blueberries side. Blueberries were much easier to pick because they are all in bundles. It wasn't as tiring as the strawberries picking. Both the blueberries and strawberries tasted great. I had a lot of fun picking my own berries. You can also buy some baskets of fruits at the shop. However the prices are higher at the shop compared to the PYO. read more

Love love love this pick it yourself farm!! So many options and such fresh fruit/veggies. They charge 5$/person to pick up to $5 worth of produce and then you pay the difference. The grounds are large (there is a tractor shuttle that takes people to the different fields that comes every 10 min or so) with abundant harvest! It is September and they have blueberries, strawberries, corn, apples, beans. Earlier they had asparagus and raspberries. Later they will have pumpkins and zucchini. Theres probably more I don't remember off the top of my head. Fresh sunflowers and other produce for sale if you don't want to pick yourself. Kid and senior friendly. Had a great time!!! read more

I like to make Jam and Pickles. I really do, so berry picking is something I look forward to doing every year. Barrie Hill Farms is my favorite place to do it. This farm is massive and has pick your own fields of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, purple raspberries, Field tomato, cherry tomato, string beans and asparagus. Possibly more. Because different produce is in season at different times, their website is updated daily, so you always know what is good, available and how much supply there is before you make the trip. Once you arrive you can select some baskets and after a quick tractor/shuttle ride you are deposited in the fields. If you don't feel like PYO, everything is for sale at the farmers market at reasonable prices. They also have fruit jams, syrups, frozen soups and pies. The best part is that this farm is LFP Certified, and practices sustainable farm management. No GMOs, no plastic bags etc. For an idea of price difference, a full basket of picked blueberries is $25, and my PYO came to $15 or so. It takes about an hour to fill. Located about 15 min from Barrie Ontario, or about an hour and a half from downtown Toronto. There is plenty of parking and a picnic area. Summer Hours THE FARM MARKET Mon - Fri 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sat 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. Sun 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. PICK-YOUR-OWN FIELDS Mon - Fri 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sat 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sun 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. read more

I came here in the summer a couple times during blueberry season (don't know why I forgot to review it then) and I was so impressed. I didn't do the pick your own because the first time I came I was in business attire and the second time I came, I didn't really want to deal with the crowds. That's the only drawback to this amazing farm: it does get super busy. Evidently a lot of tourists come here. Some foreign tourist kept pushing me with her cart when I was line at the cashier. It was so ridiculous I started cracking up. Just pushing me with her cart, continuously and aggressively as if she could push people in front of her out of her way. Ah, well. Tourists! What are you going do? I did buy the pre-picked blueberries. For about $25 you get a HUGE basket of large, sweet, fresh, juicy blueberries. You'd probably have to pay at least double if not triple that (or more) to buy an equivalent amount from the grocery store. I also tried a few of their pies. Their pies are amazing. The apple was particularly good. I don't think I've ever had a better apple pie. I can't wait to go back there this spring and summer. read more

The best apple picking experience. Very well organized. Lots of helpful staff. The teenage workers are friendly and well-spoken. Long wagon ride. You can pick apples, strawberries, raspberries and pumpkins all in one go. (They even let you pick Honeycrisp!) (Their fall strawberries are actually good!) The orchards are well-signed and well-kept. And no baloney playgrounds or petting zoos to distract your kids or drain your wallet. Will be back every year. read more

I get as much as my produce as I can from the farm and supplement with the grocery store. Strawberries this year were the best I've ever tasted. This year we picked strawberries, blueberries and apples. Each experience was wonderful. Great family excursion. read more

My family comes every year to pick up blueberry . A lot of fun Outstanding ice cream with blueberry or raspberry or strawberry It is my favorite place and I love it. My sister in law will come from Europe and we will bring her here read more

Great produce and selection of in-season foods. Very well organized. Unfortunately, some staff are extremely rude. On the way in one lady made rude comments about my friend's weight, claiming afterwards to have been only joking. Then on the way out she accused my son of stealing a cookie until we showed her the sales receipt. We also wanted to pick corn being told the wagon would bring us part way, however, the gentleman driving the wagon refused to take us even part way or give us directions how to get there. Not a good first impression, and chances are we won't go back. read more

Love this place. I'm always on the lookout for affordable outings. I've been taking my daughter ever since she could walk. It's a simple joy to pick your own berries. A great way to get the little ones outside. My little one loves this place and is always up for picking berries. It's great they are open till 8 so I can get in some berry picking after work. Highly recommend. read more
