The Jungle Farm

“A jungle in Alberta!? They have an untouched part of land that they showcase what a lot of Alberta would have looked like before it was cleared for agriculture. We came here with a school group and I was impressed with the organization and informational leading. We came with kids of varying ages, quite a few toddlers with short attention spans, and the staff did a great job making the sessions short but educational. With pit stops for strawberries and pumpkin picking, this was a fun element to include as we toured the farm. The wide variety of pumpkins and squ-umpkins(squash pumpkins) was so cool! The kids do course had an absolute blast on all the climbing structures and the grassy slide hill. Is adults even gave it a go! My youngest adored the tractor wagon ride and the staff were really good making sure everyone was safe around the farm equipment. The u-pick is massive and picking fall strawberries was a first for me! They were so sweet and good. They also sampled us some kohlrabi, which the kids didn’t like but it definitely was a first time for them trying such an interesting veggie( for those of you that are wondering it’s got a texture on the inside similar to an apple or a potato, and a flavour combo of a broccoli and cauliflower). The little market store had a variety of goods, jams, pickled things, and toys. The bathroom situation is probably the only downside with two porta potties…but at least there are bathrooms available.”

“Great experience picking strawberries. My 2 year old daughter just loved it . The strawberries were the best I have ever had . Some of the juiciest and sweetest. It’s an hours drive from Calgary just before red deer . You could get updates on u picks and availability from their facebook page. They are pretty good at giving updates and up to date information . Would definitely recommend”

“Awesome strawberry picking experience with affordable price. You will get a guide to show you how to pick good and juicy strawberries. Only 25$ for 5lb strawberries. You can also get strawberry cakes and jams from the store. Kids can enjoy their time here with play structures . Really amazing place.”

“Really fun experience but this place could get really busy. It brought back a lot of childhood memories of picking in the fields. The strawberries were bursting with flavour. Usually having store bought, they simply don’t compare to eating local!”

“Awesome place to pick berries, vegetables and enjoy the ambience of a lovely farm. Kids and adults would definitely have fun here and enjoy the experience.”

“Very tasty strawberries. This year they are not like last year because of the rains, they are more watery and spoil faster, but they are still much tastier than in stores. The smell is yum yum. The only minus is that there is no place to wash your hands after digging potatoes or picking other berries and vegetables... I also recommend trying their jam 🫶🏻”

“Overall, we had a great experience at Jungle Farm. The strawberries were fresh, sweet, and delicious, and the kids had a wonderful time exploring and picking fruit. The only downside was an interaction with an older staff member. She spoke to us in a very rude and abrasive manner, even in front of the children. It made our group feel quite uncomfortable and wasn’t the kind of welcoming atmosphere we were expecting from a family-friendly farm. Aside from that experience, everything else was enjoyable. We hope the farm can ensure all guests are treated with kindness and respect in the future.”

“People running this farm specially one lady is really rude. My kids were playing with small kids tractor with pedals after picking up strawberries we thought it was part of the experience, There were no signs which suggested that the area is restricted or it was not covered And all of sudden she comes yelling that you are not supposed to be here and this toys are not for you to play to the kids. I politely told her that okey and I am sorry we will leave but she kept yelling at kids. I would suggest to never visit this place with your kids you would not have good experience. To date that experience still bugs me for my kids. And my kids keep asking me why she yelled at us every time we see the pics. I can understand the prices are high due to cost of running business but it doesn’t cost anything to be polite and be nice at lest to kids.”
