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.
- 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.

“Tom and Dawn, owners of Crosswind Farms, are truly salt of the earth. This place is a must stop when in the Manhattan Area. Fresh fruits and veggies in the spring and summer and Pumpkins and Christmas trees in the fall and winter months. Top quality products to be purchased all year long. Plenty of farm animals to see and some to pet. I can't recommend this place enough. You won't be disappointed.”

“Horrible Went for strawberry picking, woman stated they had 100 rows.. they well all empty or rotten! went back for refund and they refunded only for containers but not per person fee. So paid to walk on dirt. Out the hole 20 (per person fee/gas/and tolls) Update!! the woman would only give the container fee in return per owner directions on the phone after multiple individuals were told the same when WE all asked for a full refund! Met a family of four who were there for 3 hours and stated the strawberries were empty since they arrived at 10 am per your opening hours of operation! So don’t lie that there were strawberries there before we arrived at 11 am. A bad review got your attention but an unhappy customer didn’t seem to bother you!”
