What we strive to give you.

Gathering and harvesting is an experience that seems to be part of our human nature. We at You Pick Berries strive to give you that simple pleasure. Our process is quiet and thoughtful. There are no animal petting zoos, country bands or food stands. This is about you, picking berries at the peak of their natural goodness.

Our picking environment has spacious grass walkways for ease of use for our customers.

Take your berries home and enjoy them as nature intended!

Where are the blueberries?

Blueberries require special care and feeding here in Illinois. Several years have gone into preparing the soil to support blueberry plants. Additionally, several years are required for the blueberry bush to mature for harvesting. We anticipate that our first section of blueberries plants will be ready for harvest in 2012. That seems like a long time to wait, but we promise that it will be worth the wait until they are ready to pick!
