When is blueberry picking season in Michigan?
Blueberries are ready to be picked around West Michigan from early to mid-July through early August.
If you’re planning to visit u-pick farms from some berry picking, check with them before heading over. Visit their Facebook page or give them a call to see what picking is like for the day. Sometimes, blueberry farms get “picked out” before their normal closing time.
Why do people like to “pick your own” blueberries?
Blueberries are easy to pick yourself – it’s a good way to save a little money and stock up on this healthy treat while making some fun memories.
Plus, blueberries freeze well–my kids love to snack on them frozen throughout the year. We stock our chest freezer in July and enjoy Michigan berries all year long.

What months do sunflowers bloom in Michigan?
Late summer is sunflower season in most of Michigan. The lower part of the state tends to harvest sunflowers earlier, but the bloom time really depends on the variety of sunflowers being grown on the Michigan farm.
If you’d like, you could chase sunflowers around Michigan starting at u-pick farms in July and ending in September. You’ll find them planted in the Lower and Upper Peninsula of the Mitten State.
What can I do at a sunflower field?
Farmers have gotten creative with their sunflower crops. Many now offer special photographer sessions.
Sunflower festivals are on the agenda (there’s one at Lewis Farms in New Era), and we even found one farm planning a maze through their sunflower fields in September.

Questions to Ask Before You Go Flower or Fruit Picking
Call ahead (or check the U-Pick Farm’s Facebook page) for the most up-to-date information.
Some farms on this list are only open by reservation. Others may be out of a certain fruit already.
When you call, ask:
How is the picking?
Not all U-pick days are created equal. Aim for a day where the fruit or flower picking is plentiful and easy. Near the end of the season your excursion may be more like a treasure hunt.
What type of payment do you accept? What’s the price?
Be prepared to bring cash. Some places take checks. Smaller operations may not have the ability to accept credit cards.
Do you offer additional services?
Some places offer additional services, like pitting your cherries. Services might be free or offered for a charge.
Is there a restroom?
It’s a good idea to know the status of the facilities, especially if you’re bringing kids along.
How do we find you?
Often, the address listed by a farm is for the main farmhouse, office, or farm market. And it can be really hard for a GPS to pinpoint a u pick orchard if it doesn’t have its own separate address. So, go old-fashioned and get directions when you call.
What do we need to bring?
Many West Michigan u-pick farms and fruit picking places will want you to bring your own containers to transport the fruit home.
