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.

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.

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.

Three Rivers

Three Rivers sits in St. Joseph County, southwest Michigan farm country where row crops and berry patches share the same sandy loam. Burda's Berry Farm is listed here as a u-pick produce operation, though no working website turned up to confirm this year's picking schedule.

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.
