Hay stack area
Lindsey G.

Small place but you can buy the apples per pound. When we went they were $1/ per pound. They have a small play area with crawl throw hay stacks, a digger toy, and a bunch of wood pieces to put your face in for pictures. Apple donuts were good but very heavy, I prefer Edwards donuts but I would Come back for the PYO apples per pound rather than having to buy a whole basket.

We live in Chicago and love bringing our small pup with us wherever we can and for the life of us we couldn't find any dog friendly orchards within a couple hours of the city. Actually had to make reservations in St. Louis to visit a dog friendly orchard 5 hours away. Covid came and ruined those plans but by doing so we stumbled into this gem! Only an hour from Chicago, family run, dog friendly (even have the family dog Darrel wandering around), great apple variety, awesome donuts, cider and plethora of sweets! Covid cautious and super friendly staff! We had a great time! And can't wait to come back next year!

We went for blackberry picking and were not disappointed! Despite being towards the end of the season, we picked a full bucket in about 20 minutes and could've easily picked another 2! The berries are giant and delicious! We picked about 6.5 lbs for $20, which is a steal compared to the grocery store. We will definitely be back in the fall for apple picking!

I've been to many different u-pick farms throughout the area and Heider's three times now, and this…read moreis by far my favorite farm for strawberry picking specifically. Their strawberries are truly the best I've ever tasted!! Check Facebook for the most recent updates if you plan on coming here! Do not rely on their Google page or their website for hours. Typically strawberry season starts early to mid June but it seemed to be delayed this year. I've been checking their Facebook everyday since early June and eagerly waiting for a day that finally worked out for me to come!! They advertised that strawberries were very limited the day I planned on going, but we filled an entire bucket in about an hour or less and we even got there 2.5 hours after they opened! I was so happy it all worked out. I just love the simpleness of this farm. There's no large attractions, big food court, or commercial feel to it. People pretty much just come here to pick berries then leave, which really keeps the crowds down too. Their farm allows for a peaceful activity to take your mind off of busy life for a bit and spend some quiet time in nature. They do have a small shop with a few souvenirs and other items, plus some small snacks such as chips, but they mostly encourage guests to bring their own food and enjoy a picnic on their picnic tables! I loved petting their little rabbits too. They were so friendly!!! I appreciate that they do not charge you until after you are finished berry picking. I've been wanting to go raspberry picking here as well, so I picked up three baskets. I was getting tired so I decided against it and was able to return the baskets easily. Overall amazing family-owned farm that I hope never changes and I can keep coming back to every year!

I think your experience here will depend largely on what time you visit and what they have to…read moreoffer. 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!!!

They have perfectly freshly apple cider donuts, strawberry donuts and raspberry donuts along with a mixture of different turnovers. Their donuts texture is not dense or dry, and really goes great with a fresh cup of coffee. Their produce are fresh. The tomatoes were sweet and delicious while the corn is huge and freshly picked. Head to their website for a good read about the history of their corn and corn in general. They have many outdoor picnic benches or patio seating where you can enjoy their coffee and donuts. The area is very clean and they often clean each table after use. Kids simply love exploring and playing outside. There is a huge playground with big, creative and unique climbing wooden structures for kid to play, slide and explore. Families should come visit, unwind, stock up on produce and spend time here together. They also have a good selection on decoration items for the garden and home. They accept credit cards in case you are wondering.

A very well maintained, super cute farm. Well staffed and friendly service. My hubby and I opted…read morefor pre-picked strawberries. Very pristine looking, juicy but not overly sweet. But that is ok, I usually add a little sugar to my strawberries to bring out the juice in them. They have two stores connected with fruits, veggies, snacks, baked goods, fudge and gifts. The donuts are yummy! I bought some cute home decor. I think the prices are reasonable and I love that we still have farms like this to get fresh produce at. Support local!!
