10 Pick-Your-Own Fruit Farms in Wisconsin

Summer in Wisconsin means fresh produce and outdoor adventures. Combine the best of both worlds by getting your group together and visiting one of the state’s many farms that offer pick-your-own outings for berries, cherries, apples and more! And be sure to call ahead or check the farms’ websites for updates on what’s growing.

Raspberries

Find a peaceful atmosphere at Blue Skies Farm as you enjoy "berry therapy," as the owners call it. Raspberry season here usually runs mid-August through late September and you're sure to leave with a basketful of deliciousness.

In addition to the pick-your-own raspberries, this farm in Brooklyn seasonally sells dozens of varieties of vegetables, herbs and even edible flowers at the Dane County Farmers' Market.

More pick-your-own raspberries: Try Nelson’s Berry Farm in Westboro for more pick-your-own raspberries (with one of their varieties usually ready to pick mid-July), strawberries and blueberries, along with fresh veggies, maple syrup, pumpkins, gourds and even homegrown black Angus beef.

Raspberry harvest: Depending on the variety, the season usually starts mid-July and runs through October.

Strawberries

Though strawberries are the star at BerryLand in Abrams, pick-your-own rhubarb, asparagus, pumpkins, squash and gourds are also available seasonally. Come autumn, the farm offers fall decorations and scarecrows, as well as kid-friendly haunted hayrides out to the pumpkin patch.

More pick-your-own strawberries: Thompson Farm in Bristol is another great option for strawberry picking. Later in the season, they also grow sunflowers, raspberries and pumpkins. 

Strawberry harvest: Typically mid-June through mid-July in Wisconsin.

Cherries

Cherry Lane Orchard’s main focus is ensuring a great pick-your-own experience at its 13-acre cherry and apple orchards. Bring a picnic along to enjoy with your group in the picturesque location, and include any walleye or bluegill you may have caught recently—this Sturgeon Bay farm will trade fresh-caught fish for cherries! 

More pick-your-own cherries: Head just a little further up the Door County peninsula to family-run Lautenbach Orchard Country Winery in Fish Creek for more pick-your-own cherries and apples, along with tasty fruit wines and homemade pies.

At this family operation in Maiden Rock, owners Terry and John Cuddy say, “We provide the boxes, you take home the harvest.”
