Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Illinois.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Went for the 1st time to pick strawberries today. Great berries, about avg size and color. Very plentiful, but the owner said this is the final year for strawberries!!!! Be sure to pick plenty or call after regular picking & they may still have rows to be picked. (The photo is two flats, about 3 hrs of slow picking or 3/4 of a row.) The berries run $2.50/# or about $25.00 per flat if full like mine.”
“My favorite place! The blueberry’s are so delicious. I have been several years in a row for them. Got enough to freeze for the year. My first year picking strawberries! They were easy to pick and delicious as well. Staff is very friendly! Easy to park- and they provide buckets for picking- and boxes. And a fun little ride/tour on the golf cart or wagon!”
“I love the berry farm. The atmosphere is relaxing, just knowing you have no worries while you are here. Our staff is friendly and can answer any questions you may have and we always have plenty of berries and peaches for the customers.”
“Pick your own berries. Friendly and nice place, clean. The strawberries are beautiful and tasty! They also have a few bakery items you can buy and pickled items. Their pickled asparagus spears are very good!”
“Wonderful berries; wonderful, fun people -- outstanding experience. Traveled 75 miles from St. Louis to Backwoods last week and picked 20#. Enjoyed it so much we went back yesterday and picked 18# more.”
“What a great day with the grandkids and family! Came home and made some Strawberry Jam. 😋”
“Great people and wonderful place. We drove an hour to get here, worth it!”
“Love this farm. Its out on a beautiful land. Beautiful place must visit.”
