Produce Farms near Allegan, MI

Allegan

Forstner has grown blueberries in Allegan since 1951, more than 70 years under the same family. Berries come u-pick or pre-picked, in pints, quarts, 2-pound clamshells, or 5-pound boxes, with peak season running July through mid-August. They run specials on Wednesdays and ask that large orders call ahead — the same practice they've followed since long before most of their current customers were born.

Martin

Ridgeview Blueberries grows a longer list than its name suggests — blueberries, yes, but also beans, corn, cucumbers, peaches, peppers, raspberries, squash, strawberries, and tomatoes, all open for u-pick outside Martin in Allegan County. It's the kind of farm where the picking calendar runs from early summer straight through Michigan's short growing season, one crop taking over as the last one finishes.

Dorr

Beard's Produce has grown fruit and vegetables in Dorr since 1963, with u-pick and pre-picked strawberries, blueberries and sweet corn from May through August. The farm asks visitors to leave pets at home in the u-pick fields. It's a family operation on 140th Avenue that's stayed in the same business for six decades without turning into a fall-festival attraction.

Paw Paw

Cycle Source Berries grows raspberries on M-43 outside Paw Paw, in Van Buren County's fruit belt. It's a small operation with no listed website or phone — local agritourism directories describe it simply as fresh, locally grown raspberries sold direct from the farm.

Paw Paw

Berry Brothers Retail grows and sells blueberries from its M-40 farm outside Paw Paw, along with u-pick flowers, coffee, ice cream and fresh-baked goods. The family recently added the former Leduc Blueberry farm to its operations, expanding acreage in southwest Michigan's blueberry country. Multiple retail locations around Paw Paw carry the fruit in season rather than just a single farm stand.

Grand Junction

Phil and Jeanne Mitchell planted the first bushes here in 1968; four generations of the family have farmed the ground since. Mitchell's Blueberries is 100% certified organic, and the crew hand-processes every berry that leaves the farm. Visitors can pick their own or buy fresh-picked at the on-farm market in Van Buren County, southwest Michigan.

Hudsonville

Bremer Produce runs one of the largest u-pick sunflower fields in the Midwest, alongside cosmos, zinnias and dahlias, on a family farm in Hudsonville. Picking works on a self-serve, honor-system basis — a bouquet with vase runs $12, and admission itself is free. It's built around flowers, not fruit, which sets it apart from most u-pick stops in the area.

South Haven

Sparks Blueberry Farm sells u-pick blueberries by weight, around $1.25 a pound in recent seasons, from a stand on 68th Street north of Baseline Road in South Haven. The season runs early July into early August most years, with no pre-picked option — you're picking your own or going without. They post opening and closing updates on Facebook instead of running a separate website.

Holland

Gold Barn Blueberries has grown blueberries on Quincy Street since 1962, a few miles inland from Lake Michigan near Tunnel Park. Twelve varieties ripen across July and August, and the farm hands out buckets, bags, and wagons so pickers don't have to bring their own gear. Cash or check only — no cards — and it's closed Sundays.

Holland

Gerard Kamphuis planted the first blueberry acreage on the north side of Holland in 1941, and his family still farms it five generations later. Berries come u-pick or already picked, fresh or frozen, alongside homemade blueberry ice cream and baked goods from the farm store. It's an 85-year-old operation that's never left the family name.

Wa-Hu Blueberry Farm's public listing gives a Greenly Street address with ZIP code 49424 but no city. As the name states, blueberries are the crop, placing the farm in Michigan's Lake Michigan blueberry belt. No further details are available online.

Season runs July through August, seven days a week, and the farm draws pickers from the Chicago-area beach crowd along Lake Michigan.
