This weekend we wanted to find a U Pick in or near Edmonton to pick some fresh vegetables. With a little research, these were the first websites we found:
We went with the first one as it seemed to specialize in u pick whereas the other two seemed to be more farms that had some U Pick features. Happy Acres is just south of Spruce Grove about 20 minutes west of Edmonton, so a pretty quick drive for us.
The route and where to park is well marked once you get close. When you arrive at Happy Acres, there is a sign telling you to check into the office. When you go in they give you a map of the farm and a price list showing which fruits and vegetables are ready to be picked and at what price.

Inside there are buckets for berries and outside there are wagons you can take around to load up as well. Most other people there seemed to have brought their own bags too, but we just took one bucket with us. The raspberries were pretty much all gone so we went for a small summer squash, a large zucchini, and some small carrots. The total price was $9, probably more expensive than the grocery store, but a lot more fun for the kids to "pick" up. Happy Acres also featured a lot of other attractions for kids, a playground, and ice cream shop, and lots of animals in cages and wandering around. Everyone had a great time.
