U-Pick Berries in Kingston

Enjoy the simple pleasure of fresh-from-the-bush raspberries, blackberries and blueberries this summer at You Pick Berries in Kingston.

The farm, located about 70 miles west of Chicago near Rockford, invites visitors to fill their baskets with as many berries as they can pick, based on availability. Blueberries will be in limited supply, due in part to last year’s drought.

The cash-only operation, open from 8 a.m. till sunset during harvest season, runs on a self-serve/honor system. Owner Christine Ewald sells the berries at a flat rate of $3 per pint.
