Bangor

Lakeshore Country Farms grows blueberries and microgreens on State Highway 43 outside Bangor, about fifteen minutes off the main road. The microgreens are sold direct to order, and the farm keeps in touch with customers mainly through Instagram rather than a storefront or standing hours.

Bangor

Joe's Blues has picked blueberries from the same Bangor bushes for 18 seasons, selling fresh and frozen berries at nine Chicago-area farmers markets — Green City, Wicker Park, and Logan Square among them — as well as U-pick at the Van Buren County farm itself. The Corrado family runs it with an emphasis on sustainable growing and kid- and pet-friendly picking hours through summer.

Apple a Day Farm has run as a small, family-owned U-pick operation since 1996 on 38th Avenue in Bangor. Sweet, sour, and golden cherries come ripe mid-June through early July, and apple picking runs from early September into late October. The farm sits in Kalamazoo County, near the Paw Paw and Gobles fruit belt.

Bangor

Moss Funel Farms sits on 34th Avenue outside Bangor, in Van Buren County's fruit belt along the Lake Michigan shoreline — a region built on blueberries, grapes, and orchard fruit. No public hours, crop list, or contact page are available yet, so a call ahead is the safest bet before visiting.

Lawrence

Bonamego Farms has worked the same 300-plus acres in Lawrence for nearly 80 years, growing tree fruit, vegetables, grapes, chestnuts and Christmas trees alongside forests and wetlands managed sustainably. Fall brings u-pick, and the farm also runs foraging and cooking classes — a step beyond the typical pick-your-own operation. It's as much a working land-management operation as it is a fruit farm.

Grand Junction

Phil and Jeanne Mitchell planted the first bushes here in 1968; four generations of the family have farmed the ground since.

Paw Paw

Brookside Farms' Paw Paw location is one of three southwest Michigan u-pick sites the family runs for fresh blueberries and seasonal fruit, off 44th Avenue near the Paw Paw River. What's ripe shifts through the summer, so it's worth checking ahead before the drive.

Kal-Haven Outpost is a 50-acre camping and glamping property along the Kal-Haven Trail outside South Haven, about five miles from Lake Michigan.

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

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.

They post opening and closing updates on Facebook instead of running a separate website.

Paw Paw

South Haven

Riverbend Farms has grown red and black raspberries, blackberries, pears, and chestnuts on 72nd Street near I-196 Exit 22 since the family took over the ground in 2007.

South Haven

DeGrandchamp grows blueberries in South Haven, on the stretch of Van Buren County shoreline often called Michigan's blueberry capital for its sandy, acidic soil. Their site didn't load enough detail to confirm current hours or varieties — call ahead before visiting.

Tomato varieties include Celebrity, Fabulous, Roma, and both cherry and grape types.

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.

Hartford

Krohne Plant Farms has grown bare-root strawberry plants and asparagus crowns for wholesale customers for more than 40 years. The Hartford location sits within eleven miles of Lake Michigan, which softens winter lows and summer highs enough to suit strawberry propagation. This is a nursery stock operation, not a u-pick or retail produce stand.

Fennville

Dee's Lakeshore Farm has grown produce on the same ground for more than 60 years, a mile north of Glenn on Lakeshore Drive. The list runs long — apples, asparagus, blueberries, red raspberries, cherries, peaches, plums, sweet corn, tomatoes, squash, potatoes — plus free-range eggs, cut flowers, homemade jams, and honey from the farm's own hives.
