Flushing

Coyner's Blueberries has grown blueberries outside Flushing since 1949, a small family farm that still runs u-pick hours from 9am to 5pm, closed Wednesdays and Sundays. The Lawrence family, who've run the operation since 2001, stick to natural growing methods on what's a modest, single-crop farm — no corn maze, no petting zoo, just rows of bushes and a bucket. Call to check on ripeness before driving out.

Williamston

Gruber Raspberry Farm opens its rows to u-pickers in September and October, a later season than most Michigan berry farms. It's on Sherwood Road outside Williamston, a short drive from Lansing and Michigan State, and closes Sundays — call ahead to check picking hours before making the trip.

Hemlock

Strawberry Fields Farm operates out of Hemlock, a farm town in Saginaw County's mid-Michigan flatlands. As the name suggests, strawberries are the draw, though picking hours and season dates aren't published online — worth a call before you head out.

Hemlock

Brenske's Blueberries opens its rows for U-pick blueberries southwest of Hemlock, between Brennan and Iva roads. Mornings are the better time to go, before the summer heat sets in over the field. It's a small, seasonal operation with a modest following on Facebook.

Backwoods Blueberries grows five blueberry varieties across a 20-acre patch on Ederer Road in Hemlock. U-pick runs mid-July through mid-August, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at $2.50 a pound. Berries here store well frozen for a year or more, according to the farm's own site — useful if you're picking enough for winter baking, not just a weekend snack.

Saginaw

Schantz's grows 15 blueberry varieties on 8 to 10 acres outside Saginaw, open daily 8am to 8pm through the season for u-pick or pre-picked berries. It's a family-run operation in a quiet country setting — they supply pails, though you're welcome to bring your own, and there's a portable restroom on-site for the length of a picking trip.

Saginaw

Blueberries Galore Farm sells u-pick and pre-picked blueberries on Gratiot Road in Saginaw, along with Michigan honey and a small line of blueberry products. Hours stretch long during peak season — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, shorter on Sunday — though the farm says hours shift with how much fruit the bushes are producing that week.

Saginaw

Saginaw Valley Sod Farm has grown Kentucky Bluegrass sod on Gratiot Road since 1970, using mineral soils and a 3D sod blend to produce a darker, denser lawn that needs less watering and mowing than standard turf. The farm also sells used lawn and farm equipment out of its Saginaw yard, and keeps weekday hours only, closing on weekends.

Howell

Hazen's Farm is a family-owned u-pick blueberry farm in Howell, Michigan, begun when Arthur Hazen cleared land in the 1950s and planted over 25 acres of blueberry bushes with his son Dennis. Open Tuesday through Sunday in season, the farm pairs picking with Sweet Marias bakeshop — homemade pies, ice cream, cookies, and muffins made with farm-grown fruit — plus raw honey.
