Love love love this beautiful Kansas farm. I am updating an older review because I've learned that they have retired the strawberry fields and picking, which is a bummer. They still do blueberry picking in June, so keep eyes on their socials and website.
Maybe it's the Kansas in my blood, but it's really, really beautiful around this farm (much more so than nearby Missouri farms). Rolling hills, green tree canopies, dirt roads and big sky all while being surprisingly close to Lawrence.
This farm was such a fun experience to pick strawberries at, and I'll go step-by-step in just a sec, but I have to shout out that I really appreciated the simplicity of this experience. Some of the u-picks and pumpkin patches go overboard with cheesy rides, hastily-made plywood games, etc. Some may love those, I don't always. I prefer to let the nature and friendly people around provide the fun, and Wohletz shines in that regard.
Bring cash! That's important and while the berries are priced fairly, you don't want to be stuck with a basket you can't cover.
Again, we gravitate to this area a lot anyways, but the rural land around Lawrence really is a special place. I'm just now realizing we drive up this way for strawberries in the spring, trail runs in the summer, pumpkin picking at Schaake's Pumpkin Patch in the fall, and cut a Christmas tree at Strawberry Hill Tree Farm in the winter.
Enjoy Wohletz and if you miss their prime picking season, they are also available at the OP Farmers Market on most days! read more
