Apples, in the autumn.
The orchard's own website could not be read during this pass: it refused the connection on three separate attempts, from the home page and the u-pick page alike. Nothing here is confirmed in the orchard's own words except what its Google listing carries.
Ring 815-332-9696 before setting out.
Pro tip: Cherry Valley is ninety minutes from the city and there are four orchards closer that publish their hours. If you are going this far west, ring first.
