5 min read / June 18, 2026

A sweet season on conserved land

In Vermont, berry picking is a quintessential summer outing. Warm days, the hum of pollinators, juicy fingertips… and the occasional berry popped in the mouth rather than the basket. Read on to explore pick-your-own (PYO or u-pick) berry experiences at conserved farms around the state.

PYO farms help everyone, not just visitors

Surrounded by open fields and mountain views, pick-your-own farms invite us to experience the state’s beauty and agricultural heritage firsthand. But PYO farms provide benefits for non-visitors, too. They boost our economy, helping power Vermont’s $4 billion tourism industry and providing farmers with a valuable income stream. They also help strengthen the local food system. By connecting people directly with where their food is grown, u-pick farms build appreciation for seasonal eating and keep fresh, nutritious food available in communities across the state. 

To celebrate PYO farmers’ contributions (and sate your sweet tooth), we’re pointing you toward conserved farms across Vermont that offer PYO berries. From the Champlain Valley to the Northeast Kingdom, these farms are cultivating connection, resilience, and a taste of summer that keeps people coming back year after year.
