Berry Patch Farms

Nice little shop and probably a cool place to pick berries when the season is right. We showed up and an employee told us we probably wouldn’t be able to find any raspberries that day as they were picked through, however, we persisted and picked 2 containers-​ful. There were plenty of fresh flowers and other veggies though. It’s fun that chickens and turkeys run around there!

This is a great place to have a kid’s birthday party. The staff is great, the animals are fun, and picking berries is a blast for the kids. Highly recommended!

We haven’t been this season because we moved, but this was one of our favorite places in Colorado. Great produce and great people. They are very nice and helpful. My kids loved the experience of picking up berries, cherries, pumpkins, flowers and see the farm animals. Great produce!

Our kids love coming here during early autumn to pick raspberries and strawberries right off the plants. We usually stay about 45 minutes and get full cartons of berries. There is no admission fee, you just pay for what you choose to pick at the little farm store where they also sell other local produce. Picking the berries does involve bending over repeatedly for adults, but the rows of plants are otherwise very accessible.

A great experience and fun time with the family.

I contacted the kind folks at Berry Patch in March, when we first moved to the area. I was lucky enough to secure one of their last full-​share of CSA’s, which started this week. The farm is easy to find, with signs pointing the way. The property is beautifully rustic, everything you would think of in a farm. Tim and Claudia are wonderful. They truly care what they are doing.
The produce is very fresh, just picked, and I can’t wait to try new things over the summer.

Great fresh vegetables and fruits. Always use there produce to supplement what our garden doesn’t produce. The raspberry picking is great and make sure to bring the kids to see all the farm animals free roaming the property

We took the kids to Berry Patch in September and left with pounds of strawberries, rasberries, and cucumbers. This was a wonderful family outing! And fresh produce makes for awesome jam and pickles.

We had a really great time. They have an email list that you can get on to get updates.

this a GEM of a find and special place my son and I go to every summer. Fields of berrys that you self pick. I have made countless fresh pies from them and they are so yummy! Theres something to be said about getting back to nature and doing it yourself, it feels great.
Great in door shop as well for other produce if you dont want to pick it yourself
small farm, picnic benches and rocking chairs. They drive you out to the spots your wanting to go. We went at end of summer, we are going earlier for better pickings this year! cant wait.

I can’t believe that it took me this long to venture up to Brighton. I’ve been getting newsletter emails for at least a year. Last night as we were sitting on the couch I got one and read through it and thought, tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous. sounds like a good saturday adventure. So my first experience was mid JANUARY (what was I thinking?!)
Lucky for us the weather was perfect and my friend Jen and I were able to get a nice variety of vegetables. Claudia was so friendly, chatted with us for a good 10 minutes like we’d known one another for years.
I can’t wait to make a big pot of soup with the carrots, leeks, baby kale and rosemary that I got. I also bought a giant bag of frozen san marzano tomatoes that will be made into tomato sauce.
The pig, turkey and chickens wandering around outside totally made my day. I mean come on, where else (in January) can you go hang outside in the sun with the backdrop of snow capped mountains, big blue skies and friendly little animals running around?! It was perfect. It would be a blast to come back with kids.
Berry Patch Farms has been moved to the top of my to do list once spring hits and the growing season is back in full swing. I can’t wait to go berry picking!

Ventured out to the farm on a Saturday morning with a group of lovely Unilocal ladies who also share a food preserving (hoarding?) passion. We thought we were «early» by arriving at nine but get there even earlier for the best pickin’.
Berry Patch Farms grows strawberries the way nature intended: tiny, red and super sweet. Not the fist sized, crunchy, tasteless ones you find at the grocery store. Our day at Berry Patch Farms brought me back to childhood and the berries my parents grew and I would pick and eat before they made it into the house.
Prices vary based on what you pick and the weight. When we went, I think strawberries were $ 3/​lb and raspberries were $ 5/​lb. We started out in the raspberry field, but Tiffany W and I quikly migrated to the strawberries while Laurie W and Wanda C concentrated on raspberries.
Unfortunately, pickins were a bit slim, thanks (or no thanks) to the hot and dry summer we had. One can conceivably pick as much fruit as they need, but it takes some time. Luckily, we found a few «money rows» for strawberries towards the end and I was able to bring home about four pints of strawberries. Bring gloves for extra effective picking. Some of the ripest berries were hiding behind sticker weeds where most people won’t tread.
The farm has a great store with farm-​grown produce, ethically raised meat, dairy, and eggs and Great Harvest Bread. Buy some Great Harvest cookies and enjoy them outside on a table with the farm’s eclectic chicken flock.
It was pretty hard and hot work (my hammies were aching the next day from the stoop labor), but your work will be well rewarded when you get your berries home to eat and make delicious jam.

Love this place! Everything is so yummy! I just wish they were open more often! And over the winter lol. Its so hard waiting all winter long to get to go there

Great place, lovely people. Came home with 10 pints of fresh-​picked organic raspberries and 5 pints of strawberries. They made wonderful jam. What more could you ask for?
We’ll definitely be back often.

My berry farm picking knowledge is limited, but I think this place is the cat’s meow. You pull in and park by the main barn, which is filled with fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit, jams, sauces, breads, and pre-​made bags for things like salsa and tomato sauce. Everything you need to make it is in the bag, all fresh and yummy looking back at you.
When you walk out of the other side of the barn you come to the most enormous pig in existence. Her name is Bacon Bits, and her gal pal is named Pancetta. Errant chickens meander around and there were a few beautiful Aussie-​looking friendly dogs that, miraculously, left the chickens alone. We hopped on the wagon and were brought out the the strawberry and raspberry patches, where my daughter, husband and I picked our little hearts out. It was so much fun!
We want to go back when we have more time to peruse the non-​pickable merchandise in the barn. It is about a 30 min. drive from Cherry Creek, super easy to find and worth the drive!

I just had the best day ever.
Right when we walked onto the farm I could tell we were in for a treat. A gigantic pig greeted us, as well as roosters with funny feathers on their feet. We walked up to a stand at the back of the market got a flat of empty pint cartons and we were off on our berry picking adventure!
They advised us that strawberry picking might be a little slim today and we could only pick 3 quarts of them. We overflowed 3 quarts easily with beautiful, shiny, red strawberries. If today was picked over, I can’t imagine what it’s like when strawberries are plentiful. There were some spiky weeds every once in awhile so be aware of those, otherwise you might end up with a palmful of thorns.
We then moved onto the raspberries, which I thought were significantly harder to pick. Once in awhile I would find a jackpot of 5 or 6 berries on the same branch and I would get really excited. There were a lot more bees in the raspberries than the strawberries, but the bees are really mellow and don’t harass you like the ferocious city bees we have in Denver. If you are scared of grasshoppers, I would strongly advise not picking raspberries, they are EVERYWHERE. I, on the other hand, just flicked them off and kept picking.
Strawberries– $ 5 per pound
Raspberries– $ 6 per pound
We spend around $ 30 for a whole flat of berries (see picture) and some basil.
We will definitely be coming back at least once a year, I am in love, and I want to be a farmer.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a farm dinner here, and it was truly an amazing experience. The produce from the farm featured in the meal was incredible. What made the dinner so special was the owners of the farm. They were so kind and warm and gave everyone a heartfelt testimonial about why they do what they do. I will be back to pick some of the delicious berries featured in our dinner for many years to come.
Trust me… it’s worth the drive for the charm alone but the produce is truly something special.

What a great place! My husband and I visited Berry Patch Farms this past weekend and had a great time and came home with a lovely and delicious bounty of strawberries and fresh veggies. We picked our own strawberries (fun! and provided a whole new appreciation for those folks who don’t mind doing this kind of work on a regular basis ’cause it ain’t easy) and visited with some chickens and turkeys. We also loaded up on lots of already picked veggies that they have for sale in their market and they are tasty, tasty, tasty. Especially fun was a pre-​packed bag of ingredients with an attached recipe for salsa — so great! I made it a couple of days later and was super fresh tasting, SUPER garlic-​y and oh so delicious!
The people that work at Berry Patch Farms were also very friendly and helpful and definitely knowledgeable. Raspberries are coming into season now and we can’t wait to get back up there and do some more picking. Kids or no kids, this is a great place!

I love Berry Patch Farms. It is one of my absolute favorite places in all of Colorado, and that’s saying something.
My daughter turned three at the end of July, and this past weekend we threw her a birthday party up in Brighton at this fantastic farm. We had 13 kids, ten adults, and I’m just about positive that everyone, kids and adults alike, had a great time. We had a hayride out to the strawberry fields where everyone managed to pick so many red, ripe strawberries they were spilling out of the tops of the pint cartons. SO GOOD.
We had two picnic tables reserved for us in the shade, so we were able to relax and hydrate in comfort upon our return from the fields. And, despite the fact that I had brought neither water nor enough utensils to pass around (oops), everything was taken care of by farm staff with ease.
I have nothing but great things to say about Tim and his crew at Berry Patch. They’re phenomenal. They only charged me $ 5/​kid for the whole party, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The cost included a pint of strawberries for each child, hayrides to and from the field, lots of playtime chasing chickens and ogling the enormous pot-​bellied pig, and picnic space. Total win.
Go support them! Their operation is top notch!

So, have I ever told you that I’m a little nuts?
I have this notion that I would love to go back and be Laura Ingalls, only with running water and real toilets. And washing machines. Other than that I’m good. Oh, and dishwashers.
Anyway, getting into the pioneer/​wild frontier spirit for me is something I need. And to do that, I love to make and can my own foods. Including raspberry jelly. Which brings me back to Berry Patch Farms.
You get to ride in a covered trailer (I pretend it’s a wagon) for five minutes while you are taken to the areas of the field designated for harvest that day. And then you get to pick raspberries. And pick you do. My mom and I picked for about an hour in the raspberry field to get enough for jelly. There are other things to harvest yourself, but we limited ourselves to raspberries. This was last Fall, by the way.
Then you come back to the little farm store, crammed full of every vegetable imaginable. They have fresh eggs some days. They have local honey (awesome!). They have herbs. They have a lot of city people who like to gather produce in the fields.
Once you decide on whatever else you want, they weigh your raspberries for purchase and check you out. On the register, I mean, not like at a bar. Then you take your berries home to make jelly. And pretend you’re a farm girl where this canning is all that comes between you and a long, hard Winter.
