Rowell Bros

Very nice, but simple berry farm. Friendly service, and lots of yummy berries. You can’t beat the price for berries here.

This was my first time ever going blueberry picking! Decided to go on a very hot day but my family still had fun picking 2 buckets worth. At $ 1.35 a lb you can’t go wrong! The blueberries are so much sweeter then anything you can buy at the grocery store. Even if you don’t feel like picking your own you can still buy pre-​packed flats, I believe. And if you so choose you can eat as you go along picking your berries.
The farm also offers other types of berries… raspberries, marionberries, blackberries, among others.
Remember to bring something to pack your berries in to take them home. Otherwise you can purchase the buckets you used to pick the berries for $ 1 each.
This is definitely a place we will come back to. According to friends who are more seasoned at berry picking than I am this is one of the better farms to go to near Beaverton.
Side note… if you bring kids be prepared for them to get dirty! You don’t know how many kids we saw with berry juice smeared across their faces and clothes!

I saw this little farm on my way out to Newberg and knew I had to check it out. Who wouldn’t want to pick berries in Blueberry Valley, as a cheerful sign designates them?
A few days later I gathered up the boyfriend and off we went, eager to spend the afternoon berry picking. We arrived at 4, leaving plenty of time before the farm’s 6pm closing time. There were closed signs in the gravel driveway. People were at the stand however, and we could clearly see other customers. We parked and approached the stand, and were told we could pick some berries, but only for 15 minutes because they were closing. When I asked why they weren’t honoring the closing time posted on their website, we were told it was a slow day and they weren’t going to stay open if there weren’t any customers. Uh… Okay… You had customers right in front of you, ready to buy lots of berries. Not impressed. Go somewhere else, there are plenty of farms in the area that are not run by rude teenage girls.

Definitely a must try place for Berry picking. I just love this part of been an Oregonian.
It is a beautiful large farm with variety of berries to pick from. It is all you can eat and Prices are very reasonable. You pay a dollar for a basket of you want to buy one.
They sell jams as well from their farm fresh berries. That tastes delicious. Though a bit sweet for my taste. I picked some 18 pounds of blueberries, marion berries and raspberries. My refrigerator is still smelling berries.
I loved the over all experience and it was a summer day very well spent. It’s more fun if you are in a group I am definitely going back there soon. Loved the berry farm.

It was time to stock the freezer. 2 hours in the Summer sun and 16 lbs of berries later, I headed home with berry stained hands and a smile on my face. This was my second year at Rowell Bros. I picked Siskiyou Blackberries. Bosenberries, and a bucket of Reku blueberries. I don’t have the patience the other customer had in picking the more time consuming and fragile cascade raspberries. The two staff members were friendly and had a cooler filled water for us. Rowell Bros has portapotties out next to the field. The berries were $ 1.35 lb for all for U-​Pick and $ 20 – 24 for pre-​picked flats. I also got 2 bottles of their raspberry jam at $ 4 each.
With the heat coming in the 100’s this coming weekend, They said they will lose a lot of berries, except for more hardy blueberries. Get yourself to Rowell Bros and stock your freezer for mixed berry smoothies year round. I am sure I will be back.

They run a large, commercial seeming u pick right off the road on the way to the quaint little town of Scholls. They have a good variety of berries — blue, rasp, marion, black and probably a few others, but for a scenic view there are a lot of picking places I find WAY more appealing. However, in a pinch and with little time to spare they are a reasonable place to take family and kids for a quick berry picking experience. No store, no animals to pet, just berries and people. Prices per u pick pound are 1.25 right now (July 2013) no matter what you are picking.
Two word summary: No Frills.

I am addicted to blueberries! Thanks to the bf for finding this spot to pick (and eat as I pick) unlimited blueberries!!! I’ve never gone berry picking before, but now I wonder why I haven’t — considering that I was born and raised in Portland. :/​The berries here were big enough and deliciously sweet. This place is kind of far from where I live, but it was definitely worth the drive.
I will neverrrrrr pick raspberries and blackberries again though. As mentioned earlier, this was my first time berry picking, so I don’t know if you have to do something special to the berries or wash them a particular way. When i got home I immediately refrigerated the berries, but the next day I found a bunch of bugs embedded IN THE BERRIES and they were crawling around. I soaked the berries in water to get rid of the bugs, but when I poured the water out to dry off the berries the bugs were still there!!! Ew ew ew! I dumped all the blackberries and raspberries after that because it grossed me out. It was unfortunate because the raspberries (and bugs) i did eat were delicious. They tasted much better than the ones purchased at the local grocery store. For me, never again for these blackberries and raspberries, but I will definitely return for my beloved blueberries!!! If you know how to get rid of the buggers I recommend the raspberries, too!

Why did we not realize this place existed before this weekend? We’ve been in Oregon for two years and about to leave in another month and finally made it for berry picking thanks to our neighbor’s tip (she has been going here for years). It was nice to drive a brief twenty minutes from where we live to the peaceful countryside… and such yummy berries – logan berries, marion berries, blueberries, and raspberries. We went on a Saturday and I was shocked at how much fruit there was for picking (the last time we had gone fruit picking for strawberries on Sauvie Island and it was disappointing how little there was…). And a big huge bucket of berries for only $ 1/​pound.
Also those that work here are quite friendly… with our limited weekends here, we’ll definitely be back.

I feel like a farm boy when I pick my own berries here. My brother lives in the area and I like to stop by when I visit. This farm is the best berry picking spot for blackberries and has great prices.

Nothing but berries! No overpriced trinkets or baked goods. Just fresh ripe berries for the picking. I filled up two buckets with berries and paid only $ 10 for them! Whoa! I have never been berry picking before. It was so fun. The sign at the farm says the berries are «all you can eat» I guess while you are picking. What fun; sampling as we filled our buckets! It was addictive!
We visited The Berry Barn right next door after we were done berry picking here. The Berry Barn, though very cute, is very commercial. Their shop is filled with yummy looking goodies and a very nice assortment of gifts and trinkets. All seem to be overpriced though; otherwise I would have bought a few things. It’s a neat place to visit, but if I were going out with a plan of just berry picking, I would visit Rowell Bros farm first.
Bring water though! It get’s hot! There is a small covered area in back of the farm where a water cooler is kept, but alas… no cups provided!

We pick a ridiculous amount of berries each year, from strawberries in June through late blackberries in August. We’ve been to a number of farms, but Rowell brothers is always one of our favorites.
They have a huge variety of berries available (although not strawberries). Acres of blueberries mean that it’s always easy picking, and we had wonderful marionberries last week. Their prices are always lower than the competition, this year at $ 1 /​lb.
They’re not quite as good at the marketing as Smith Berry Barn just a half-​mile down the road, and I must admit the lavender chocolate milkshakes there are a great draw. But for full-​on berry picking, look no further.
