About This Farm
Kuipers Family Farm at Maple Park opens its fall season on 22 August and pairs the apple picking with something few orchards offer: cut-your-own fall flowers.
What You Can Pick
- Apples - straight from the trees, from 22 August
- Fall flowers - cut your own
- Pumpkins - in the autumn
What Else is Available
An orchard shop and bakery with a sample kitchen, which is the farm's own name for it and is exactly what it sounds like.
Good to Know
The farm publishes no hours and no prices on its own site. Its old youpickfun.com address now redirects to kuipersfamilyfarm.com.
Pro tip: 22 August is early for an Illinois apple, which means the first weeks are the early varieties: soft, sharp and gone by the end of September. The Honeycrisp crowd arrives in October.
