Krause Berry Farms

Planning a Farm-to-Taproom Day in the Fraser Valley

Krause Berry Farms sits in the agricultural heart of Langley, an area shaped by fertile soil, mild coastal weather and generations of family farming. That same landscape is part of what makes a day out here feel so easygoing: quiet rural roads, open fields and short drives between stops. Pairing a farm visit with time at a local taproom is a natural way to see this side of the Fraser Valley.

Timing your visit

Berry farms run on the seasons, not the calendar. Strawberries usually come first in early summer, with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries following as the weather warms. Weather can shift harvests by days or weeks, so check the farm's own website or social channels before you go to confirm what is available for picking and when the fields are open. Weekends in peak season can get busy, so arriving earlier in the day often means cooler temperatures, better picking and an easier time parking.

What to bring

• Sun protection, water and comfortable shoes that can handle dirt paths
• A cooler or insulated bag if you plan to stop elsewhere before heading home, since fresh berries soften quickly in a warm car
• Some patience for line-ups at the bakery during busy periods

Making it a full afternoon

A morning in the fields followed by a relaxed afternoon pint makes a well-balanced day. Lighter, crisper styles such as lagers, wheat beers and fruit-forward sours tend to suit warm summer afternoons and pair nicely with the flavours of the berry season. Browse our current beer listings to see what is pouring, and look at our events page if you want to time your trip around something special at the taproom.

Please plan safe transport. If anyone in your group will be drinking, arrange a designated driver, taxi or ride service before you set out, as the rural roads between farms and town are best enjoyed without any risk. For more ideas on rounding out your trip, see our other nearby places.
