Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Michigan.
- 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.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Really neat business. You can pick blueberries there. Very friendly people. They have rocking chairs and picnic table. Very relaxing and enjoyable place. There ice cream is so yummy. I had blueberry and lavender ice cream. They also have a sweet Parrot. Lake Michigan is so close to enjoy the views. Everyone needs to stop and have yummy ice cream. They have other things for sale as well. Well worth it to stop.❤”
“This place is a hidden gem❗️ Located on Traverse City’s beautiful Old Mission Peninsula, they have their own ice cream shop as we as a U-pick blueberry farm (some other fruit in season also). Their blueberry ice cream (made with home grown fruit) is THE best ice cream I have ever had!”
“Friendly owners, great blueberries and peaches. Sure you can get them cheaper at Meijer, but we come here for fun and experience. Ice cream is great too! Make a morning out of it, enjoy the scenic drive and pick some yummy blueberries 🫐 P.S. Pie turned out delicious 😋”
“We spontaneously decided to stop by and get some homemade ice cream. It was so yummy! Between the four of us, we had the blueberry ice cream, the lemon poppyseedice cream, the lemon blueberry ice cream, and the chocolate brownie fudge ice cream. All delicious!”
“The blueberries are always perfect, the apples in fall are my favorite, you can even pick your own. And oh the homemade ice cream can’t be beat!!! The peach may be my favorite. And it’s been owned by the same family forever!!! Definitely a top destination!”
“Visited twice last summer. Some of the best ice cream my wife and I have had. We love their blueberry, peach, and lemon flavors. Cant wait for more this summer! Also, we chatted with the owner and he, his family, and doggo are all super nice!”
“Top notch amazing blueberries! Large, plump fat, juicy berries make a phenomenal pie. They also have the best ice cream in town and a beautiful Macaw named Niko who waved at my 6 month old son! It was an amazing experience!”
“What a lovely place to stop and get delicious ice cream! So many flavors and vegan options too! The owner was very kind and chatted with us. We got a punchcard too so we’ll be back 😋🍦🫐”
