The Incredible Farm in Wyoming Where You Can Pick Buckets of Berries

Amidst Wyoming's golden fields and grazing cattle, a lesser-known harvest emerges each year with quiet splendor - fresh produce. Fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-packed microgreens are all grown by green-thumbed locals and often shared at community farmers' markets.

But the state’s rugged terrain and unpredictable weather patterns pose unique obstacles to farming, especially when it comes to cultivating more delicate crops, like berries. Fortunately, Wyoming does have a few berry farms and U-pick patches tucked away! SonHarvest Seasons in Riverton has stood the test of time and is a fantastic place to take the whole family for some good old-fashioned quality time spent raspberry picking.

While Mother Nature's wild bounty abounds in every corner of Wyoming, there are surprisingly few full-scale berry farms around the state. Harsh winters, late frosts...you know the drill. SonHarvest Seasons is an exception, though.

This long-standing family-run farm in Riverton is known for its annual fall pumpkin and corn maze offerings, but you can also swing by and enjoy an excellent abundance of vibrant, perfectly ripe raspberries throughout the year. In fact, they're basically grown side-by-side.

Peak pick-your-own raspberry season at SonHarvest is typically August-October, and it's an adventure that the whole family can enjoy. The bushes here grow literal buckets full of berries that are sold by the pound. They're sweet, plump, and full of juice! But you can also come in and grab some that are pre-picked, either at the farm or local pop-ups. This way, you can enjoy them all the sooner. While you're at it, stock up on homemade raspberry jams, jellies, and syrups.

And make plans to come back again to enjoy the hefty pumpkin harvest and fall festivities! That's the best time of year to experience this extraordinary farm. Is there anything better than fresh-picked berries in summer or a warm biscuit with homemade jam? We don't think so! Throw in a raspberry pie a la mode and we're sold.
