U-pick farms in Utah in July

The Lavender Apple

A family lavender farm in Cache Valley, below the Wellsville mountains, whose picking window is the shortest on this list: the fields are worth visiting from mid June to mid July and the harvest is celebrated with a two-day festival, July 10 and 11 in 2026. Admission is free and you cut your own bundle, alongside food trucks, artisan vendors, horse-drawn wagon rides and lavender lemonade. Outside the festival the farm keeps shop hours on weekdays and sells its own oils, culinary lavender and soaps, so a mid-week visit is a store visit rather than a picking one. Park free at Millville South Park and walk through the hay field, or pay $5 to park closer.

Rocky Top Fruit Farm

The one tree-fruit orchard on this list with real July picking, on the bench west of Payson. Sweet cherries open the season in June and apricots follow in July, then the trees rest and the berries take over in August, so the orchard can be shut for a stretch mid-month between the two. Picking is walk-in on a posted schedule of half-day slots rather than by appointment, and you pay by the pound at the scale. They keep bees, sell their own raw honey, and have chickens, goats and a pig for children to look at while the adults pick.

S & K Blossoms

A small flower farm in West Haven, just west of Ogden, that runs on booked appointments rather than open gates. Tulips are the spring draw; the summer cutting season opens in July and runs to October, with weekday slots on Wednesday mornings and Tuesday evenings and weekend times kept for date nights. You choose a mason jar or a florist bucket when you arrive and fill it yourself, and they suggest walking the rows first and allowing about an hour to cut. It is a working home farm with mud, bugs and free-range chickens, so wear shoes you do not mind ruining.

Michaelis Family Farm

A market-garden farm out in Box Elder County near Garland, and the most forgiving option here for a family with no fixed plan: the u-pick patch is simply open six days a week through the season, no booking and no ticket. July is the changeover month, when the strawberries have finished and the tomatoes come on, with raspberries, blackberries, sweet corn and melons arriving from August. Everything is priced per item at the patch rather than by admission, and they ask you to text ahead for patch conditions because a hot week moves the crop. Cash or Venmo only.

Beck Farms

Six acres of cutting flowers on century-old family land in American Fork, run as evening events rather than an open field. Picking sessions are ticketed two-hour slots at golden hour, late July through October, and you choose a paper transport cup or a glass vase when you book; the farm provides snips, a vessel and a short lesson. Dahlias, celosia and specialty zinnias are the backbone of the late-summer rows. Sessions routinely sell out, so this is one to book well ahead rather than drop in on.

Flower Farm UT

A self-serve cutting garden on Fort Lane in Layton, and the easiest one on this list to visit on a whim: the field is open Monday to Saturday from early morning to late evening with no booking and nobody to check in with. You pay online or at the stand for a jar, a twenty-stem wrap or a vase, then cut what you like from rows of sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, snapdragons and dahlias. Snippers, jars and wrapping are laid out at the farm stand. The farm also runs date nights, workshops and butterfly releases through the summer, and sells ready-made bouquets and honey if you would rather not cut.

Riley Orchards & U-Pick

A family orchard and market garden at Genola, farming here since 1952, and the only place on this list whose whole season opens in July rather than closing then. Raspberries, sweet corn, zucchini, cucumbers, summer squash and peppers all start that month, with tomatoes, peaches and apples following through the autumn. Picking is walk-in, Monday to Saturday, sun-up to sun-down, which suits an early start before the Utah Valley heat. They post what is actually ripe to a Facebook group rather than a calendar page, so it is worth checking the day before rather than trusting the published harvest chart.

Sweet Pea Farm & Orchard

Three acres in Parowan, and the only entry here that puts southern Utah within reach: everything else on this list is a Wasatch Front or Cache Valley drive. Started in 2014, it grows vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers under greenhouses and season extension to cope with a short high-desert growing window, and the season runs late May to the end of October. The farm is better known locally for its Saturday farm breakfasts and farm-to-table dinners than for picking, and the u-pick side is small, so it is worth a call before making the drive. Picking terms and prices are not posted online.
