Produce Farms in Illinois

ATA Strawberries

Carlyle, IL

A pick-your-own strawberry farm on Cypress Street in Carlyle. It's a small, single-crop operation — strawberries only, no pumpkin patch or corn maze attached.

Backwoods Berry Farm

Hettick, IL

Backwoods Berry Farm has grown pick-your-own asparagus, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and peaches in Macoupin County since 1990. Sweet corn and other seasonal produce round out the harvest, alongside canned goods and baked items sold at the farm stand. It's built around walking the rows yourself rather than buying pre-picked, so bring a bucket.

Baylors Melon Market

Baylor's Melon Market has run a South Side Chicago watermelon stand since 1955, based at 10100 S. Halsted with additional truck stops at 95th and Dan Ryan and 84th and South Lafayette. The season runs Mother's Day weekend through September, 9am to 7pm daily. Nearly seven decades in, it's still a neighborhood fixture for fresh watermelon and seasonal produce.

Baylors Melon Market- Seeded Watermelon

Baylor's has sold watermelon on Chicago's South Side since 1955, running a market at 10100 S. Halsted plus mobile stops at 95th and the Dan Ryan and 84th and South Lafayette. Seeded watermelon is the specialty they're known for citywide, though the stand carries other seasonal produce too. Open daily 9am–7pm, May through September — closed the rest of the year.

Benson's Blueberries / Bensons Berry Farm

Lawrenceville, IL

Benson's Blueberries is a small family farm off Route RR 2 near Lawrenceville that specializes in growing and harvesting fresh blueberries. It's a low-key operation without a dedicated website, so calling ahead for picking season and hours is the way to go.

Berry Patch

Livingston, IL

Berry Patch grows produce on Spangle Road East outside Livingston, in Madison County farm country near Highland. No website or social listing turned up online, so what's in season and picking hours are best confirmed by phone.

Bess Berries

Marshall, IL

Bess Berries grows berries for picking on Illinois Highway 1 outside Marshall in Clark County, part of the area's cluster of u-pick strawberry operations that run mid-May through June. Specific hours and current offerings aren't posted online beyond directory listings.

Blackberry Creek Honey Farm

Sugar Grove, IL

Blackberry Creek Honey Farm keeps hives on Bliss Road outside Sugar Grove, an area the local historical society traces back to farmland use since the 1850s. The farm sells honey and runs pick-your-own hours alongside its beekeeping, drawing regulars from the Sugar Grove area who stop by for both.

Blackberry Hollow Farm

Bonnie, IL

Blackberry Hollow Farm, established in 2020 near Bonnie, grows thornless blackberries and zinnias for u-pick alongside 32 acres of native wildflower fields with free, open walking trails.

Boggios Orchard and Produce

Granville, IL

Boggios Orchard and Produce operates out of Granville along Illinois Route 71 in Putnam County, offering orchard fruit and farm produce. No verifiable website or contact listing turned up in research, so hours and current offerings are best confirmed by phone or in person.

Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce

Kim and Jeff Wielert opened Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce in spring 2011 after Jeff's father encouraged them to bring locally grown food to the Hinckley area. The farm runs as a CSA and on-farm market, selling produce direct from their McGirr Road property.

Braffet Berry Farm and Orchard

Carlock, IL

Braffet Berry Farm and Orchard picks through the seasons in order — asparagus in late April, strawberries by early June, blueberries by late June, then apples starting mid-September. A late frost can wipe out a season's strawberries here, so the farm posts real-time picking updates by phone. Fall brings a cafe with cider donuts, a corn maze, and hayrides for a $5 admission; picking itself stays free.

Bray Grove Farm

Morris, IL

Bray Grove Farm in Morris is a specialty polyculture CSA farm named one of the country's best farms by Food & Wine, growing nearly 150 varieties of heritage and heirloom vegetables, herbs, and fruits — 100% naturally, with botanical preparations like chamomile and willow instead of chemicals.

Bronkberry Farms & Greenhouse

Plainfield, IL

The general store stocks homemade pies, local honey, and jams, with bees, goats, and chickens to visit; twice named Best Retail Business by local chambers of commerce.

Hillbunker Farms - Eggs, Honey, Organic Produce & More

Hillbunker Farms is a small Illinois producer of eggs, honey, and organic produce, sold direct rather than through a grocery chain. Its online presence is limited, so calling ahead or catching them at a local market is the surest way to see what's currently in stock.

Jim Gorman's Vegetables

Both u-pick and pre-picked options are available by the pound or quart.

The McCanns have retired; this listing remains for the record.

McLaughlin Strawberry Farm

Murphysboro, IL

Norton's Produce

Saint Charles, IL

Norton's Produce farms a stretch of Illinois Route 64 in Saint Charles, best known regionally for its fall corn maze alongside u-pick produce. It shows up on Chicago-area corn maze guides as one of the longer-running mazes in the Fox Valley, with the produce stand running through the growing season before the maze takes over each autumn. Confirm hours before driving out, since small roadside farms shift with the harvest.

Olive Berry Acres

Mazon, IL

Nik and Michelle Weber started Olive Berry Acres in May 2005, and the u-pick rows now cover strawberries, asparagus, and raspberries in season. It's a small, family-run stop near Mazon — bring your own container and expect fresh lemonade for sale while you pick.

Prairie Hill Blueberry Farm

Bethany, IL

Growing blueberries in Illinois means fighting naturally alkaline soil, and the owners of Prairie Hill spent three years amending theirs before planting. The payoff: roughly 800 bushes across three acres, split between five varieties — Patriot, Bluecrop, Elliot, Blueray, and Chandler — timed to stretch picking season across six weeks instead of two. Visitors get a bucket lined with a plastic bag and can feed the fish in the farm's pond afterward.

Saturday Produce Market

Decatur, IL

Saturday Produce Market operates out of Richland Community College's National Sequestration Education Center at 1 College Park — a building built for carbon capture research, repurposed on weekends for a produce market. Vendors lean toward organically grown fruit and vegetables. It's a college-hosted market rather than a downtown or park district one, which keeps it smaller and steadier than markets tied to festival calendars.

Spain Family Farm

Spira Farms

Lemont, IL

Spira Farms grows Chicagoland's freshest microgreens indoors year-round in Lemont — harvested and delivered the same day, pesticide-free, in a USDA GAP certified facility, with a two-week shelf life that beats greens trucked in from warm-climate states.

Strawberry Flats

Geneseo, IL

Strawberry Flats has grown blueberries and sweet corn on the same ground since 1979, though the name has outlasted the strawberries the farm started with. Visitors pick their own blueberries in July and August, or buy them already picked at the stand along with sweet corn pulled that morning. Call ahead before driving out — picking windows shift with the weather and how fast the bushes ripen.

Stuckmeyer's Plants & Produce

Valmeyer, IL

Sugar Grove Pumpkin Farm & Produce

Sugar Grove, IL

Admission and parking are free.

Sun Berry Orchard

Woodstock, IL

SunBerry Orchard grows apples, peaches, cherries, strawberries and raspberries on Greenwood Road outside Woodstock, one of three McHenry County locations the Ukrainian-American farm family runs alongside a pasture-raised meat operation. Fall brings u-pick weekends with a smokehouse turning out more than 40 kinds of sausage. The farm also runs markets in Mundelein, Lake Zurich, and Skokie, so the produce travels even when you don't.

Sun Berry Orchard Farm – Mundelein

Mundelein, IL

SunBerry Orchard grows roughly 150 apple varieties on its Mundelein property, with u-pick apple season running September through October alongside fresh cider, baked goods, and a petting zoo.
