I was very disapointed going here. As someone who professionally pruned for a while, they seem…read moreseverely neglected. Some looked like they had died from underwatering, underpruning, or fire. Smallest berries I've ever seen (even for smaller varieties) and we went mid season+ many were fermenting on the plant. Super high bushes and hard to pick, which is a nitpick but some of us are disabled or have musculosckeletal disorders and cant reach easily into the bushes. If you do go, bring a bucket and ladder.... you can also add a harness to the bucket to make it easier to pick, but I still don't recommend going if you can afford to visit a farm upick or grow your own. Just as an fyi to people going there, if you do go, please be aware there are thorns in some places. Lastly, I do appreciate that these are free, but I would also love to see them taken care of better... it is great if you really can't afford berries, but I wish it would be better taken care of, it is really sad to see them in such a neglected, and I probably won't be back because it depressed me and I feel sad for the plants. Its also time expensive, since the berries are so small and there are so few ripe berries even mid season, so if you're simply trying to cut costs in general, I don't think this would be the solution. If you just want to spend time with someone and the state of the blueberry bushes don't bother you, then this may be something you'd enjoy. I still don't recommend for my own personal dispute with how the bushes are taken care of, at least for now. For context, I believe we went in either 2024 or 2025. Thank you for reading.

The farm opens from mid June to first week of August. If you are looking for blueish Lavendar instead of purple one, you should be here in the first half part. Now everything is closed to the end and the lavender is purple, but still enjoyable. Will come back next year to get what we missed from this time. (Information upto 2023) Parking fee is $5 U- cut $8 per bundle The farm closed on Mondays, or you can stop by during 9am- 4pm without reservations.

Newly opened this year, Crescent Valley Lavender Farm is located in Gig Harbor about 10 mins…read moreoutside of the historic waterfront area. The owner described the farm as being more accessible for visitors who aren't able to make the trek out to Sequim. While Crescent Valley was one of the smaller lavender farms that I've been to, it was definitely the most personable. The owner himself gave us an informative tour around the farm and showed us the differences between lavender that is used for culinary and fragrance purposes. They also have a mini shop on-site with a variety of items, including soaps, lotions, shaving cream and more. The farm also makes beautiful hand-woven lavender wreathes starting at $40. If you're the more adventurous type however, Crescent Valley has u-pick lavender available at $7 a bundle. In comparison to other farms, I appreciated that all the rows were open to u-pick instead of just two or three rows. We got to mix-and-match from the rows and I went home with a generous bundle of fragrant and culinary lavender. Last but not least, they have an online parking ticket & reservation system in place due to COVID. Be sure to check their site first before heading over!

We visited Duris Strawberry Farm on the first day of strawberry picking (Jun 13, 2026) and it was a…read morecomplete madhouse. This was about 30 minutes after opening and the small parking lot was completely full. Cars were parked haphazardly all along the street, making it difficult for two way traffic (we had to drive on the grass). Luckily as soon as we pulled into the parking lot a car reversed out. Score! Picking is hectic but organized. They give boxes out at the main stall and have a flag system to mark how far down the row has been picked. The problem is that most people didn't actually use the flags. On the other hand, it's not like the rows were picked very well in the first place. We started at a random one in the middle and there were still plenty of huge and juicy ripe strawberries even on the first couple of plants. We ended up filling our entire box, weighing in at 8.25 pounds by around half way down the row. At $4.75 that was almost $40 in strawberries! The employees said that they would rotate to a second field of strawberries later in the day for more fresh picking. The strawberry variety of the day was Puget Crimson. Since this was the first day, the cream of the crop were still available, meaning huge, juicy, flavorful, ripe strawberries all over. Puget Crimson typically seen at farm stands and markets are medium and small size; these were massive, with the larger ones averaging over 35 grams a piece. Nicely sweet too - I measured a mash of five strawberries at 10.9 brix and a second at 12.1 brix! This particular variety has a decent amount of acidity, but are all full flavored, unlike the first pick of Sweet Sunrise I had a couple of weeks ago, which were huge but somewhat watery. They are deep red/crimson in color, especially for the extremely ripe ones, and mostly conical, although we found a small number of mutants, one looking like 4 or 5 strawberries fused together! Check out is easy. Pro-Tip: there are two checkout lines, one on each side of the stall. The line furthest away from the pathway to the strawberry fields seems to always be shorter. In my case, only 3 groups in line instead of 20+ groups. Warning: these strawberries are planted on top of very sandy dirt, which sticks to the strawberries. Even after soaked and scrubbing, dirt still sticks onto the skin! I will definitely be revisiting Duris Strawberry Farm next year for their first day of strawberry picking!

We stopped and bought some strawberries today and they were spectacular. We received the tip to…read morevisit Duris today from our waitress Lisa at Mama Stortini's during lunch. She said they have great produce so we stopped there on the way home along River road and I'm so glad we did. They had big juicy sweet strawberries picked today just like she said. It was a great tip so I'm paying it forward for anyone who is looking for strawberries. It's best to call them before you go since when they run out, they close and we barely made in time after a late lunch. They only had a few half flats of strawberries bu the time we got there. GPS got us there the back way but once we found it, I have to say it's very easy to find.

What a great find! U-Pick blueberries and Dahlias…read more I brought my daughter here today so we could have some Mother/Daughter time and she has a blast. There are rows and rows of blueberry bushes to pick from and they also have a section where you can cut your own Dahlias. The place is on MADISON Ave. NE. It's clean, and the people there are uber friendly and remember you. They have little silver buckets they line with plastic bag and take you to the fields to show you where the best berries right now are located then they let you loose. You can also use an knee pad or little stools while picking. They have 4 varieties of berries, but not all are ripe at the same time. YES, you need to go here!! They would love to have a mob of people so, let's support another of our local farmers and go get berries! They provide the buckets!!!

We easily picked 7 lbs in about an hour and froze them for the future.

They had a little trail with pumpkins, would have been more fun if the path was cleared a little and if they had a pumpkin decorating area to add your own pumpkin for fun. They had a treats/snack area and I thought it was really cute. Mini and big caramel apples. Popcorn, chips and drinks. There were some blood (juice) bags, they are so cute, just for Halloween.
