They offer so many other fruits and vegetables to pick from too, so there's always something new to enjoy each season! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable considering how fresh and high-quality the produce is. Everything we picked tasted incredible - you can tell it's straight from the farm. We've made it a tradition to go every year, and it never disappoints. It's a wholesome, fun outing that's 100% worth it!

It was actually a ton of fun pulling veggies straight out of the ground and hunting for the best berries. Felt super satisfying and kinda meditative. Definitely a good way to spend a few hours outdoors. Pro tip: there's no shade at all in the fields, so wear long pants, long sleeves, a hat, and sunglasses unless you want to roast. We didn't bother with water bottles because sampling the fruit as we went kept us hydrated. Highly recommend doing that--those berries are perfect.

We checked out the restaurant after and there weren't any GF options. I did get the orange cream soda and it was delicious. The bakery indicated the taffy apples were GF so I grabbed one and it was really good. They also mentioned they have GF donuts but were sold out. I wish they had more in stock to try. I also bought apple cider and it was good too.

We spent most of our time browsing the gift shop and bakery. From the "Happy Camper" coffee trailer out front, we grabbed hot beverages along with a couple of delicious bakery items -- a pumpkin cream muffin and a pumpkin scone. We took these to the enclosed patio out front and enjoyed them while listening to a musician playing guitar and singing. It made for a lovely afternoon. I would definitely return, and next time I'd make sure to try the wine tasting.

To me, it's more fun when there are significantly more people around, and during peak summertime when there are plenty of strawberries, red raspberries, and black raspberries, that is the most fun and, in my opinion, worth the higher price. Off season both strawberries and raspberries are not going to be very sweet. It's rare for me to find black raspberries just in general, so that is a major draw for me returning!! It is so much fun to pick your own berries and such a fun outing for families and kids! They run a tight ship about making sure people stay in certain areas before they open up more, so I can see how that can be an inconvenience for some. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience and I definitely recommend a visit!!!

The staff were very nice and always picked up the phone when we called asking for the status. There's a small farm store that sells drinks as well as some farm goods (plant pots, farm vegetables). There isn't much for kids here so it's pretty much exclusively a place to pick berries. Stock was very good.

The entrance is $15 per person and that comes with a tall plastic cup that you will use to put your flowers in. They do have scissors for sale for $3 dollars if you do not have any with you or a knife to cut the flowers. The weather was perfect. The temperature was amazing. The flowers were all so beautiful. Lots of colors from the zinnia's and the variety of sunflowers. They're so many of them. It was such a great time. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the farm, picking up flowers and overall just a great experience. I loved going there.

There's over 1 million tulips planted, and there were plenty of photo ops throughout. I also love that the tulips were planted in the shape of a butterfly this year, but wish there was some way to see it from above. :( For $20 you get access to their tulip field and one u-pick tulip is included. You can purchase more tulips for $2 each if you want to pick more. Dogs are also allowed and are free to enter, but if your dog is prone to chewing on/eating flowers, maybe leave your dog home (tulips are toxic for dogs, mostly the bulbs which are underground). There are a few food trucks and lawn games to play as well. We tried the blended java chip coffee and kettle corn. The kettle corn was really good. We only spent about an hour here because there's not much else to really do.

My experience is going to differ a lot from other reviews because I went to Richardson Farms for…read morethe corn maze 5K, which ended up not happening at the corn maze due to the rain. I like to sign up for unique 5K courses, so I was super excited for this one. At 6am during the day of the 5K, I got a sad email saying the course has switched to the farm course for everyone who signed up for the corn maze course due to the corn maze being muddy and unsafe or something. But at least the 5K was still happened. The farm course was meh. It was muddy as well but at least it was wide dirt roads. For anyone considering going in the future, I suggest definitely going for the corn maze course instead because I imagine the farm course is meh even when it's dry. The gift shop was open for runners super early to shelter and grab some snacks, souvenirs, and bathroom breaks. The apple cider donuts are great, but only comes in half dozen.

We look forward to making this an annual tradition.

Do you love sunflowers? Blueberries? Chickens? Or farms?…read more Then schedule a trip to Blue Clay Berry Farm. Located near Lake Geneva, it was a fun stop during a weekend trip. Entry is a bargain at $2 per adult. The field of sunflowers was so beautiful. After being greeted by a couple of cute helpers, we were off to explore the rows of giant sunflowers. Each stem was a bargain at $1 each or 6 for $5. Great place to take photos as well. Although we were a bit too late in the season to pick a bushel of blueberries, we were able to pick a handful for a sweet little midafternoon snack. While at the farm, you can also visit the calves and chickens. We also picked up a dozen of the freshest eggs for $3.50 per dozen. So delicious. Thanks to Ella and her helpers for showing us the farm, letting us pet the calves and helping us explore the rows and rows and rows of giant sunflowers. Definitely an unexpected highlight of our lake getaway.
