About This Farm
Crosswind Farms at Manhattan, south-west of the city, runs its market and field on announced days rather than fixed hours: the site advertises specific dates and times as they come.
What You Can Pick
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and Concord grapes, in their seasons. The farm's own site does not itemise its u-pick, so this list comes from earlier research.
Good to Know
There is no fixed timetable. At the time of checking the farm was advertising "The Country Market & Field Open 10-2" for a specific Friday, which is how it publishes: one day at a time.
Ring 708-567-9090.
Pro tip: Concord grapes are the reason to keep an eye on this one. Two farms in the whole region let the public pick a grape, and September is a short window for it.
