Van Kley's Blueberries

“U-pick blueberry experience with my little ones was so nice today! We chose sweet although there was a tart option as well. Lots of shade when parking and a few awnings to get out of the sun if needed. The hospitality there was so welcoming and the amount we picked was more than reasonably priced. Thank you for having us!”

“A super fun family activity less than 1h30 from Chicago! You get a bucket, a flag (to mark how far you've picked) and a lane (not sure it's the right technical term---city guy here 😁), and you can start picking delicious blueberries. Go early in the day. When you arrive, follow the signs to the u-pick field.”

“Best blueberries ever and incredible all natural raw honey. When they open back up, I'll need yo make a trip out there. The blueberries and honey don't last long.”

“Gorgeous big ripe blueberries. Lots of easy picking. Great place for kids to pick with low bushes. Very friendly people. Not crowded.”

“Just came back from picking blueberries at Van Kleys. Never disappointed with the berries. Have some that are as big as a quarter.”

“The blueberries are always excellent! The honey from blueberry blossoms is always so much better than store bought honey.”

“Amazing fruit for you pick or already picked. But, I was stupidly wearing sandals my pick day. I stepped in mud, so I thought. The "mud" stained my foot and the next morning, the stain was still there AND where the "mud" was on my skin, that skin is now peeling!!!! It's gross. I figure there had to be a chemical in the dirt. But their fruit was top notch and yummy”

“If you are looking for good experience picking berries I strongly recommend you avoid this place. We chose to go here for berry picking as most other berry farms were closed on the day we went. Most of the staff was kind and there was a nice picnic area- but one bad experience with one employee was enough to spoil the vacation for the family. When we began picking berries, we were rudely yelled at by a woman who may have been a supervisor. She told us we were only allowed to pick from one row, sharply scolded us for going to the wrong row due to her lack of specification, and threatened to monitor us to make sure we didn’t disobey her orders. We as a group were stunned by her treatment of customers as we had driven hours and were intending on buying a good amount of blueberries. We go berry picking every year to other patches and we had never been restricted to where we could walk and pick berries, which diminished the experience for our rather large group. In my experience, farms have allowed people to roam and pick as they please, so I suggest you go to a farm which has such a policy. We could not even walk past our limited row in the large farm for fear of the supervisor watching us. It was disappointing to drive hours to come to a farm to only be able to stick to one small row. Do not waste your time here!”
