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.

“Wow this is a great strawberry farm! The owners were incredibly friendly, the strawberries were reasonably priced (as inexpensive as the best grocery store deals) and the berries were DELICIOUS (the best I’ve ever had)! The kids had a blast picking strawberries and there were so many in the field. They also were selling lovely tomato plants and flowers for very good prices! (They are also very active on their facebook page which helps a ton for parents who plan ahead) And it’s not too far from downtown Murphysboro if you want to go to any of the local stores while you are out here. It was a great outing for our kids and we plan to make it back. 10/10 recommend!”
“I pick strawberries here every year and have for quite a few years they have the biggest sweetest juiciest strawberries around! Everybody that works here is friendly helpful and very knowledgeable about the picking conditions, berry taste and can even help you with recipe ideas. The prices are usually the cheapest around. The fields are clean and easy to maneuver in and the berries are easy to pick. And they even let you taste test while picking. I can't say enough how much I love this place. Definitely a place to keep in mind when picking strawberries!”
“Great strawberries! They offer pre-picked and u-pick in season. We were only there for fifteen minutes and picked an entire tray! Strawberries are delicious; store-bought cannot compare! (Only take cash or check, so be prepared!)”
“Such a cute family farm! I didn't plan to pick my own berries today but it made a cute date. And I made some killer jam. I'm honestly not sure I've ever had strawberries this good!”
“Best tasting strawberries. My daughter and I picked yesterday and it was great. We picked maybe 40 foot or so and filled up 2 flats. Go for the next 2 weeks or wait till next year.”
“Get there early in the season to pick the best of the strawberries. Towards the end of May. You will still find some good ones, will take you longer though. 😊”
“Overall amazing experience. The people were very kind and honestly some of the best berries I have had!!”
“Excellent experience. Great place to take the kids for some wholesome fun”
