This article contains the following information about Krause Berry Farms:

Krause Berry Farms

Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery has been operating since 1974. The farm is family owned and operated. Much of the produce is grown on-site, so it’s a working farm too.

Offerings at the farm include its award-winning wines, market products and waffle bar. The place also offers seasonal u-pick produce, plus special events during holidays such as Halloween and Christmas.

Location and Hours

Krause Farms is at 6179 248th Street in Langley. The place is about a one-hour drive from downtown Vancouver and five minutes from the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

Opening hours for the venue are usually from 9:30 am until 5:00 pm Wednesdays through Sundays. The farm is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The site’s online store operates daily and orders placed there can be picked up inside the farm’s market.

If you like farms and fresh produce, another great place to check out is Maan Farms in Abbotsford. It’s located just 30 minutes from the Krause Farm. Similar to the Langley venue, Maan Farms has a small country store and u-pick berries. The farm also has an award-winning winery and impressive fall Pumpkin Patch, plus a petting zoo and extensive play structures for children.

Year-Round Activities

Krause Farms offers a number of products and activities throughout the year. These include its market and bakery, waffle bar and estate winery.

Market and Bakery

Krause Farms operates an extensive market and bakery. The place has plenty of fresh, seasonal produce as well as pies, preserves, pantry items, frozen produce and giftware, among other things.

In addition to its in-person market, Krause Farms also operates an online store. Online orders can be picked up at the farm at the designated “online order” area. Customers can select a pick-up time between working hours of 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, Wednesday through Sunday.

Waffle Bar

One of the most unique things about Krause Farms is its waffle bar. The farm makes the waffles fresh and serves them with seasonal toppings and its very own syrup or coco whip. The place also offers a vegan, gluten-friendly option for those with dietary restrictions.

A regular waffle with seasonal berries, berry syrup and whipped cream cost $13.95 the last time we checked. A vegan waffle with syrup and coco whip cost $15.50.

The waffle bar is open on the same days as the rest of the farm. However, hours are different. It’s open from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm every day of the week except for Mondays and Tuesdays. Krause Farms also operates a drive-in waffle field from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm on weekends during July and August most years.

Krause Estate Winery

The farm also operates an estate winery on its grounds. The winery offers a selection of berry wines that are made in-house. Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery also sells picnic baskets to enjoy in the garden or to go.

The Krause Winery has won a selection of awards including the “Best Fruit Wine of 2017” in the All Canadian Wine Championships.

Wines range in price from $13 for a small bottle up to $26 for a large bottle (plus or minus). The place also offers specialty wines such as port and dessert wine, as well as gift boxes.

Seasonal Events

Krause Berry Farms is open year-round with a variety of seasonal activities. Its u-pick fields are full of seasonal produce. The farm also runs events around major holidays such as Halloween and Christmas.

Summer at Krause Farms

Summer is a great season to visit the farm. Many types of berries are ready to pick and the weather is usually very nice. U-pick options in summer include blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

The Fresh Fun Family Field and children’s play areas are also usually open during the summer time. These attractions are great for families with younger children.

Fall and Halloween

Each year during the autumn season Krause Farms operates its annual pumpkin patch. Folks can take a stroll out into the farm’s fields and pick the perfect pumpkin. The gourds range in size from small, hand-sized pumpkins to ones bigger than your head.

In addition to pumpkins, Krause also offers a variety of seasonal vegetables within its u-pick opportunities. Offerings include various other types of gourds and squash such as acorn, butternut and spaghetti varieties.

In 2019 Krause Farms offered a living barley maze in the fall. Admission was free and visitors had the chance to win a small pumpkin by answering questions found within the maze. We hope this will be offered again in future years.
