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.

“They always seem to have a good crop. I love peaches but cannot buy from the grocery store because they always put some bad fruit in with the good, At Schwartz you can inspect each piece before you buy and they will even let you take some from one bag if you't prefer more ripe. Peaches are hard to get and them be fresh and ripe but not hard as a rock. Schwartz gets an A++ from us.”

“This place was amazing and my class really enjoyed going here on a field trip. We got to go through haunted maze then pick apples from orchard to fill our bags. Then got to do some fun games right before we sat down for sack lunch. I would highly recommend taking kids for an experience at an apple orchard.”

“Was in the area for weekend getaway and I wanted to try some local farm food. Apple cider is to die for. I hesitated and got a smaller size because of price, but now that I’m home I would pay for 3 large sizers! So delicious”

“I'm very disappointed with the new owners of the Orchard the last 2 times that I was out there they hardly had anything on there backed goods on shelves and hardly had any apple on the shelves and did not have any cherry apple cider. but made sure had lot of there regular apple cider but no cherry apple cider. I understand that the new owners want to try new things and make new things. But what I don't understand is why would they have customers asking to have cherry apple cider to made?? That just doesn't make any sense to me on why should customers have to call or ask for cherry apple cider to be made just saying. And hope that the new owners realize that it its so stupid to have the customer to ask to have cherry apple cider to be made.”
