It's part of the USDF Region 2 equestrian circuit as much as it is a blueberry farm.

The family recently added the former Leduc Blueberry farm to its operations, expanding acreage in southwest Michigan's blueberry country.

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.

Gobles

Brookside Farms' Gobles location, on County Road 388, is the northernmost of the family's three southwest Michigan u-pick sites growing blueberries and seasonal fruit. As with the Paw Paw and Otsego locations, picking windows track whatever is ripening that week.

Allegan

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.

Three Rivers

Mistee Creek Farms grows apples and pumpkins for u-pick visitors outside Shelbyville, a straightforward crop-and-harvest operation in Allegan County farm country. Call ahead of a visit to confirm what's ready to pick — Michigan's apple and pumpkin windows shift a few weeks each year depending on the season.

Three Rivers

Corey Lake Orchards has farmed 150 acres of orchards, vineyards, and fields since 1961. The farm presses heritage apples into hard cider, ferments its own wines and spirits, and bakes fruit pies and donuts on-site alongside blueberries, strawberries, and a full run of vegetables. It calls itself a marketplace for locally grown and locally made goods, and the shelves back that up with products from other regional producers too.

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.

Allegan

Grand Junction

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