About This Farm
Nowthen Berries in Anoka County is a family u-pick farm that publishes a real per-pound price, which almost nothing in this region does.
What You Can Pick
In the farm's own words: "In 2026 we will be offering strawberries, flowers and pumpkins."
What It Costs
Strawberries: $3.85 a pound.
The self-serve sweet corn stand is $7 a dozen, stocked daily.
Good to Know
The 2026 strawberry season is over and the farm is closed for berries until 2027.
U-pick flowers opened 16 July and run to the frost: Tuesdays and Thursdays 5pm to 8pm, Saturdays 10am to 2pm.
The farm asks, sensibly: "If you're unsure whether we're open—especially if you're driving from far away—please call or text." Dan on 763-843-5792 or Miranda on 763-843-5793.
Demand for pre-picked strawberries was so high in 2026 that the farm stopped taking requests.
Pro tip: evening flower picking from five to eight on a Tuesday is a genuinely civilised thing and almost nobody offers it. It is also the coolest part of a Minnesota July day.
