Smith Berry Barn

This place is literally a slice of heaven! From the quiet, peaceful, and well kept farm, to the chickens, to the no spray berries, to the gourmet store with espresso. I take my little boys here multiple times throughout berry season, for some fresh air and fun. The u-​pick prices are a bit more spendy than other local berry farms, but worth it for all that they offer, and the use of a bathroom instead of a port-​o-​potty. It’s definitely a treat that we look forward to every spring and summer.

Fell in love with Smith Berry Barn almost ten years ago and love bringing family and friends for either picking berries or enjoying their lavender milk shakes. If you are looking for a fuchsia basket they have the biggest selection! Love this little oasis just outside of Portland!

This is a perfect spot to bring small fruit-​loving children! The farm is just the right size for toddlers (and you don’t have to pick the fruit yourself should you not feel like it.) They grow and sell delicious no-​spray fruit and veggies at great prices. And there are happy chickens and goats for us to greet and even feed! So happy we found this gem!

I love this little place! The shop is adorable, the berry picking is incredibly fun, and the customer service is good. I don’t know why those people but 2 stars just for a stupid latte. It is called Smith BERRY Barn, it’s not a coffee shop, which, by the way, is amazing. I also really like their adorable animals that you can feed. They even had cute little festivals, with live music sometimes. I really recommend this place!

I’m giving this place two stars only because of the latte I ordered. It tasted like bad coffee. If you want a really good latte, go across the street to South Shore Café and order a hemp latte — it’s so much better!
They are not really in the business of making good coffee/​lattes but are more geared toward growing and selling berries — I love how they are a no-​spray berry farm! While waiting in line to pay for the latte, a man in front of me had a couple boxes of newly picked berries and they looked fabulous. I intend to go back and pick berries but not order a latte again.

Such a charming place to get fruit and veggies and milkshakes and items to plant. Also they have a great buyer for their store so cute candles, home goods and jewelry. The owners are from the NW so going there you get to buy local! It is just idyllic and peaceful and I always look forward to making several trips out there all summer long.

I probably should be writing about their berries, but I’ve only been to their awesome little shop, had the best milkshakes EVER, and hung out with their little farm animals. Such a gorgeous drive to get there and a fun pit stop. They have great plants and produce seasonally. I love it here!

Plate and Pitchfork experience here was superb! I was lucky enough to be a +1 at this one of a kind venue. Exceeded my expectations! Chef Aaron Barnett from St Jack & Chef Scott Snyder from Levant, along with Tom Monroe from Division Winemaking presented us an amazing meal featuring chicken liver, mussels, bay shrimp, salmon, duck confit, leg of lamb, semolina yogurt cake and wines that cheered them all on. The sun was setting by the time we had our last course, in the middle of a pear orchard. I’ve never had a better meal… ever. Belly is full, head’s a little foggy… memories to hold.
We were treated to a tour of this amazing farm as well, by the gracious owner/​operators of Smith Berry Farm. I highly recommend the farm (goats and chickens and all) and the Plate to Pitchfork experience here. Stop by and get some fresh produce. It’s well worth the drive from Portland. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMER! 10 STARS!

My family and I love to visit Smith Berry Barn, however, our recent visit was met with much disappointment. We fought the holiday traffic on July 3^rd and after a long trek finally got there by 4:30. We were told that while they are open until 6pm the U-​pick closes at 4:30. We checked their website on the way over there and it does not mention anything about closing early. We were pretty bummed that we drove all the way out there for nothing. Fortunately, the berry farm next door, Rowell Bros., was open until 6pm for U-​pick so we stopped there and got some really delicious raspberries and boysenberries. At least our trip wasn’t a complete flop!

Heads UP: Closed Mondays in May.
I’ve never picked here but they have (5 star rated) frozen — sour cherry — pies (from another local business but I’ve only found at the farm) that are: YUMMY. (Seasonal not available in May.) They are ample sized and a bit expensive but I’ll continue buying them because I can’t find any as GREAT tasting.
Friendly, helpful staff in person and on telephone.

All you can pick no-​spray berries! While we were driving around the country side, I knew I had to stop at a berry farm. Unfortunately, there were no ready berries when we stopped in, but it was still fun to wander around and check out the plant nursery area and feed all the cute little critters in the critter pen.
There is a nice gift shop and the woman was helpful when I asked for products that were made in Portland so I could take home some souvenirs. Marionberry jams! as well as some local made chocolate and snacks, etc. There is a little deli case and everything from candy and crackers to lotions and glassware.
Definitely a nice stop on a nice, cool, clear day.

Delightful little shop and coffee/​milkshake counter with you-​pick berry picking, conveniently located to y’all in Beaverton and Tigard. A few highlights…
The berries:
Smith Berry Barn is no-​spray, which means that the berries are great but more challenging to pick than berries at nearby traditional farms. Come early in the respective berry season before the insects beat you to it.
The prices:
Super reasonable, especially for no-​spray. About 25% less than the farms on Sauvie.
The shop:
Country but not kitschy. Great spot to find gifts for aunts, mother in laws, etc. (and surprise yourself by finding a thing or two for yourself while you’re at it).
The milkshakes:
Do not leave without getting a chocolate lavender milkshake. It’s worth the drive out here *just* for the milkshakes. Wander across the street, grab a sandwich, come back to the Barn for your milkshake, and sit on the veranda on a warm afternoon. Finish the day with wine tasting down the road at Ponzi and you have yourself a perfect summer day.

One my favorite places to go berry picking! We like to go for the strawberries but I have also tried the raspberries. All of their fruit is excellent and well priced. The fields are clean and they don’t seem to be sticklers and allow you to eat while you pick –within reason, I assume? The place is great for kids though might be a tad too close to the main highway for some parents comfort.
The barn area (where you pay) is comfortable and clean, though they could provide a teensy tiny bit more customer service to help customers feel welcome at their farm.

Came here on an unconventional berry-​picking date and it was incredible. There are LOTS of berries and the whole farm is peaceful and relaxing. This is a MUST for summer and is fun for everyone.

Summer.summer. summer time… kickin’ it like Will Smith… oh ya!
Well I’m a bit late on this review, but time just got away! I really wanted to take my kids to pick berries so we could make some jam. And also to show the kids how it’s «really» done! Not just go to the store and buy em…
We came early on a Sat morning, and were glad we did, it was 90 out by 11 that day! Luckily the little store had bottled water and even cold ice cream!
They provided the containers, or you can bring your own. The staff is super friendly. Many berries to pick from too. We ended up with 4lbs of Blackberries and 4lbs of Raspberries for under 20 bucks! That’s one heck of a deal… and even though the kids pooped put half way thru, we all had lots of fun!
I will definitely come back next summer when the berry craving kicks in!

I get some of my coolest Christmas ornaments here. Also, some of the coolest ‘smalls’ for home/​kitchen décor — whoever does their curating/​ordering does a dang good job — so good that I always end up taking a little bag of something home with me (besides the produce — which is why I tell myself I am going).
The folks that run the place are awesome — helpful, but not overly helpful if you know what I mean. Only help me out if I look like I want it. Other than that, acknowledge my existence and then let me shop. Oh, did I say they make a kick ass, I mean, kick ass, milk shake? They do. It is worth what they charge. I just finished a review bitching about a different establishment that charges similar prices for a shake, but this one I praise — cause it’s worth it. It’s excellent quality ice cream, generous berries (if that’s your thang) and as flavorful and rich as a shake can get.
Hmmm, what else? Oh, the produce and berries. Like another reviewer, I normally pick my own berries so I hadn’t much reason to buy any. But this year, after a shitty deep freeze thaw — I had to break down and buy some. I stopped in here and bought a flat of the sweetest, well picked blackberries and took them home to freeze. Needless to say, only about ½ made it to freezer, the rest we devoured.
Great location, good stuff and great berries.
FYI — They carry some fresh produce — I try and buy only what is grown there — much better prices. Also, their little fat zucchini (round like a ball) are cute and taste good to boot.

I love this place. All the haters can stay home.
Took Princess and her BFF today late afternoon for a quick berry picking session, some ice cream and some sunshine.
They ran around petting and feeding goats and chickens, inhaled mint chip ice cream cones, and filled buckets with mostly ripe berries. Princess’ dad was just going to watch, but then he grabbed a bucket and headed into the fray.
Actually, it was pretty peaceful. Not so crowded, and mostly idyllic.
No spray raspberries, $ 1.75 a pound. How cool is that?
Picked about 8 cups for our family, about 3 pounds total… turned most of them into raspberry cobbler tonight. We ate it warm, with vanilla ice cream.
Yeah, you should be jealous. Go get some berries and make your own!
There are more berries between now and September. We shall return.
I also bought a jar of marionberry pepper jelly to pour over cream cheese. They had samples by the register… so mean, and yet so cool.
Ok, well maybe it has to be fat free cream cheese, but I’m still excited.
They have blueberries, too, for $ 2 a pound, BTW.
Berry Heaven.

Delicious berries, beautiful flowers and garden items, and a small store that reminds you of your childhood.

This was the first time I picked berries since moving to Oregon from California, so I have no other local farms to use as a comparison. Really, what is a bad picking experience? I hope to never find out.
The place was easy to spot, the parking lot was surprisingly full for a Tuesday morning, the gal who weighed our containers had a great smile. Most of the berries are labeled.
We picked Blueberries and two types of Raspberries. The Blueberry bushes seemed fairly young, and are located beyond the mature Raspberry bushes, far left corner if you are standing in the parking lot.
They also have Strawberries, Marion-​berries, and many others. Call them the morning of your visit and they will tell you what is ripe.

There are two areas to pick berries– one for blueberries only and one other field about a mile away that had all other types of berries (blackberry, raspberry, Marionberry, boysenberry, etc).
You can bring your own containers or buy a bucket there for 50c and take it home with you. All types of berries are 99c per pound.
We loved the variety of berries available and that you can munch on berries while you are picking. The price is great, and it’s fun for all ages!
