about Biringer Farm:

If you're looking for a change of pace during June or July, head 35 miles north of Seattle to Biringer Farm, in operation since 1938.

The farm sells strawberries, raspberries, and delicately flavored tayberries in the summer. You can buy them ready picked or - and this is the most fun option - pick them yourselves. During berry season you'll see families carrying trays while riding out to the fields on the "Jolly Trolley" to pluck choice berries right from the vine.

Local strawberries are sweet, flavorful, and delicate; once you taste one, you'll never look at supermarket berries the same way again. A trip out to the farm makes a great field trip with summer-bored kids, and even if you don't pick enough yourselves, you can always buy some on your way out (kind of like picking up a salmon at the grocery store after a fishing trip). Sliced and Sugared Strawberries ready to eat and freeze are also available in 15-pound containers.

Bring sunscreen, hats, and water, and consider bringing a backpack or big-wheeled stroller to tote shaky walkers. We've gone with very small kids, but grade-schoolers seem to have more fun.

Call the farm before showing up; strawberries usually ripen from mid June to mid July, but the weather can slow them down or speed them up. Same goes for the other crops.

Tours (geared to ages five to 12) are available during the harvest season, and the farm is available for birthday parties and corporate events.

Weekends can be busy; this is a popular destination. See our calendar for information.

My family has been going to Biringer Farm for over 10 years. Now that they have closed their Everett farm, we will be driving a few exits north to their Arlington farm. We feel it's worth it. We have always received excellent service, and wonderful berries.

I feel for the ballard mother but, she should not have took a todder out so far from water and shade. I have six kids, I also a certified first aid and CPR Instrutor and the early causes of heat stess can hit younger childen much faster than older ones. The best advise, I can give is keep water near by and pick a closer field where there is shade and water like Remlinger Farms.My children age from (7 months to 14 yrs.) I would never take any of my younger kids out in the fields due to the time of year and the possible incidents.

The review explicitly recommends that younger children not be taken to Biringer Farms and tells why. It's a shame that Ballard Mom had a disappointing experience, but why did she ignore explicit advice not to take small children? An older child would have been able to handle this experience with aplomb; this type of farm looseness, the long distances and the heat are the reasons why it's not a suitable outing for toddlers.

After seeing the five star rating I decided to take my toddler to Biringer Farms to pick raspberries today. The trip started out fine. However, becasuse it was such a hot day, they suggested we ride the tractor out into the fields. I was concerned about being left out their too long and explicitly asked before we left how often they came around to pick people up. We were told they would be around every thirty minutes or sooner.The tractor did indeed come back around after about fifteen minutes and almost all of the pickers got back on and left. We stayed for another fifteen minutes and then headed back to the drop off location to wait to be picked up. They never came. We waited for 45 minutes. We even tried calling them, but only received a prerecorded message. So we walked back. When I politely told the staff the situation they were rude and defensive and offered excuses about not knowing that anyone was out there and that we weren't waiting in the correct spot etc. I was very irritated that they took the situation so lightly as I stood there with an exhausted two-year old, dripping from the heat. This will be our last trip to Biringer Farms and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with small children.
