strawberry u pick information

​Please check our Facebook for the most up to date news on whether the field is open. If you do not have a Facebook, reach out to us at 815-603-0292. Field conditions can change quickly with a large number of visitors!

Rules:

• You must use our provided bags or baskets. Baskets can be reused throughout the season for $8 fee.
• Please only pick in designated area.
• Please park in designated area.
• Pick only FULLY red berries. If the berry has a white tip, it's not ready to pick. Strawberries do not ripen after picking and unripe berries are not as flavorful as ripe berries.

Plan for sun! Wear sunscreen and bring a hat. We will have some shady seating areas as well as a bathroom to use on site.

We've never used herbicides or pesticides on our strawberry plants so feel free to sample one or two in the field while you pick!
