Van Kley's Blueberries

A dedicated u-pick and pre-picked blueberry farm at Wheatfield in Jasper County, growing eight varieties with sweet and tart kept in separate lanes so you pick what you actually want. 4.6 across 32 ratings. Well set up for first-timers and small children: you're given a bucket, assigned a lane, and handed a flag to plant where you stopped so the farm can track what's been worked. The bushes are low, which reviewers repeatedly single out as making this one of the easiest places in the state for young children to pick unaided. Shaded parking and awnings to get out of the sun. Berries reported as very large - one reviewer describes some the size of a quarter - and pricing as more than reasonable. Follow the signs to the u-pick field on arrival, and go early in the day. Also sells honey at its Red Barn Farm Stand. Google confirms Monday to Saturday 7am-6pm, closed Sunday. Roughly 90 minutes from Chicago, so expect Illinois weekend traffic.
