Fort Wayne, Allen

Hilger Family Farm

Checked Sep 2, 2026

  • Pumpkins
  • Strawberries

A family farm at Fort Wayne in Allen County with u-pick strawberries in June and a well-regarded pumpkin operation in autumn. 4.6 across 270 ratings. A small, old-fashioned place rather than a large agritourism destination - a barn farm market selling cider, jam and baked goods, a kids' play area, farm animals, pony rides and school tours. Reviewers consistently praise the pumpkin selection and the fresh jam, and several describe strawberry picking as an annual family tradition; a few have been critical of the condition of the animal pens. Google lists 10am-6pm Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday. Restrooms are portable toilets.

U-pick strawberries, clearly the farm's main draw - 'our go-to farm every year to go pick strawberries'. A trailer runs out to the field, or you can walk if the queue is long; berries range from sweet to tart. Season is June. The farm posts u-pick opening updates on Facebook, which is the place to check. Open Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, closed Sunday.
