Crisp morning air, dew on a field of gorgeous plants and the plop, plop of blueberries in the bucket make for a fantastic June family activity. Getting to go berry picking is an OKC family activity my family and I love to do. I’m not sure that anything tastes better than fresh right off the plant!
One of my favorite parts of berry picking around OKC is that berries are extremely easy for little ones to pick. You don’t have to reach up high for the most part and the pretty colors make them easy to see.

Tips For Taking Your Kids Berry Picking Around OKC
- Check the berry farms facebook page before heading out to make sure they are open and have berries. If you have any question that they might be open give them a call.
- Go early – this helps you skip out on the heat which helps your littles last longer and you get the best choice of berries.
- Make sure to take water and snacks along. Staying hydrated always helps everyone in the family!
- Wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy!
