Produce Farms near Caledonia, MI

Alto

Wildwood Berry Farm grows berries on Snow Avenue in Alto, in Kent County's fruit country southeast of Grand Rapids. The name points to a u-pick or berry-stand operation, though no season dates or hours are posted publicly yet.

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.

Grand Rapids

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.

Martin

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.

Rockford

Trapp's Berry Farm sits on Tiffany Avenue NE outside Rockford, listed in state agritourism directories as a produce operation. Little else about hours or current offerings is available online, which is common for small berry farms that sell mostly by word of mouth.

Hastings

Kendall's Blueberries grows and sells blueberries in Hastings, in Barry County's mix of farmland and lake country between Grand Rapids and Battle Creek. No hours, pricing, or contact details were verifiable online — call ahead during blueberry season, typically July through August.

Sparta

Heritage Blueberries grows about three acres of chemical-free blueberry bushes on Stebbins Avenue in Sparta, right in the Fruit Ridge growing region. It's strictly u-pick, open to all ages, and the owners post picking updates on Facebook rather than keeping fixed hours — check there before heading out.

Otsego

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.

Rockford

Sandy Bottom Berries is a small, family-run u-pick farm on Sandy Bottom Road in Rockford, growing blueberries and raspberries pruned low enough for kids and older pickers to reach by hand. It's a no-frills operation — no corn maze or gift shop, just rows of berries and a scale — with Klackle Orchards and Good Land Growers a short drive away for anyone making a day of it.

Coopersville

Cook's Strawberries grows strawberries outside Coopersville, in the Ottawa County farmland west of Grand Rapids. Michigan's strawberry season runs short and early, typically through June, and the name points to a seasonal u-pick or roadside stand rather than a year-round operation.

Venroy Blueberries runs a u-pick operation in Coopersville at $2 a pound, with picking pails and tie ropes provided. Frozen berries are sold in 5-pound bags for $13 when in stock.

July and August hours run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday until 5 p.m.; the farm is closed Sundays. A picnic area sits alongside the fields.

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.
