Olive Berry Acres is located in Mazon Illinois. We are a u-pick strawberry farm, offering some of the best strawberries in the area.
Olive Berry Acres was established in May 2005 by berry enthusiasts Nik and Michelle Weber.
Our u-pick strawberry season is usually all of June of each year. In 2022 we added an additional 20,000 strawberry plants to our farm for future u-pick seasons. We hope that this expanded number of strawberry plants will allow us to have more berries for more people to pick.
We are pleased to offer strawberries, raspberries, asparagus and rhubarb. You can come out to the Downtown Bloomington Farmers Market where we have our farm fresh asparagus.
Be sure to check out Olive Berry Acres on Facebook for our most up to date announcements as well as when we are open and closed for the season.

Olive Berry Acres Hours & Picking Season
No matter where you go to pick your fruits and vegetables, u-pick farms will all have different open times and seasonal times based on many different factors. We list ‘Open Season’ below as a general guide to when you can find what Olive Berry Acres offers.
This seasonal open date can start in the middle or end of the month. Some u-pick farms are also only open for a short period of time. Depending on where in the country you are located, some produce may have very short seasons.
The actual business hours will vary based on the farm, where they are located and when their fruits and vegetables are ripe and ready for picking.
It is impossible to get a set standard on business hours or even an exact date of seasonal openings and closings.
For this reason, we try hard to be as accurate as possible with Olive Berry Acres seasons. It is up to you to check with the farm to make sure they are open and what their hours of operation are.
We list Olive Berry Acres contact information below to help you with finding their open times and what produce they are currently picking. Some farms only have one produce they are picking while others will have many different fruits and vegetables available throughout the year.
Even if the farm only offers one item to pick they may have a farmers market or fruit stand where you can buy additional items.
We found that most farms have at least one social media account where they will list their seasonal opening and closings, including pictures of their produce.
If you are ever in doubt, please call Olive Berry Acres before heading out to make sure they are open.
Thank You For Supporting Olive Berry Acres
One of our main purposes is to support farms from all over the United States. Growing up our family would always make it a point to find a local farm to support and pick fresh strawberries.
Now our children get to have the same experience and learn what it means to support farmers who provide not only our fruits but also vegetables. This becomes a learning experience for them and a tradition we hope that they continue to carry with them.
Besides, going to a local u-pick farm is not only fun but gets you out of the house and active!
When you support a local farm like Olive Berry Acres, you are supporting small businesses and the families that go with that farm. You are also promoting a healthier lifestyle and our mission for a sustainable food source.
Some of the larger u-pick farmers also support your local food banks. We would love to see a world where our smaller farmers are producing more of our fresh produce and can compete with bigger box stores.
If you have been to a local u-pick, you probably know the difference in quality of their fruits and vegetables compared to your local box store.
Again, thank you for supporting Olive Berry Acres and please reach out to them if you are interested in vising their farm. Make sure they are open before you head out.
