U-Pick Farms

This season I plan to participate in some agritoursim by going to a U-Pick farm to pick my own apples, pears, pumpkins, and squash! You can’t get produce any fresher than picking it straight from the source yourself!

Most U-Pick farms are only open for you to pick produce until the end of October and they typically charge you by the pound for whatever you pick. You can even bring your kids along to teach them where fruits and vegetables come from and how they grow! Check out Illinois AG Fun for Illinois locations or find a U-Farm near you. Enjoy this season’s fresh produce! Happy picking!
