Our market at 1016 Jefferies Road will be open during the above times, where you can stop for directions and for a variety of blueberry products. Or, you can drive straight to the blueberries with a GPS address of 3695 Central Point Road, Cantrall, IL. We provide the picking containers.
Blueberries this year have VERY nice size and wonderful flavor! Visit our Recipes tab for some great blueberry recipes!
Our Market at 1016 Jefferies Road, Springfield, IL will be open the following times for u-pick cherries:
Tuesday, June 17: 9 a.m. to Noon
This will be the last date for cherries. We have had larger than expected crowds and we've had many great pickers this year. We would like for those who may be planning to pick this last date to understand that picking is slower and there is no picking from the ground.
U-Pick Cherry Information:
Please check in at our market at 1016 Jefferies Road during the above times for picking containers and directions. Cherries are adjacent to our market. U-pick tart cherries are $3 per pound.
As with all U-pick crops, schedules and crop availability are dependent upon the weather.
Our cherry trees are the Montmorency Variety, a TART cherry, great for jams and jellies, as well as baking, such as pies and cobblers.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not grow any sweet cherries, and we do not sell picked cherries.
