Bella Vista Farm

Bella Vista Farm is a hundred and five acres in the heart of Fennville, run by Mary and John Renaldi. It was Crane's U-Pick for three generations before them, and a good deal of the internet still calls it that, so do not be thrown if you arrive expecting one and find the other.

What You Can Pick

U-pick runs from July 3 right through to October 31, which is one of the longest continuous seasons on this side of the state:

• Blueberries - from about the first of July, and they last three or four weeks
• Raspberries - early to mid-July, then on through the autumn
• Peaches, nectarines and plums - through late summer
• Apples - into the autumn
• Pumpkins - to the end of October

Good to Know

Open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm, and Sunday from 10am. The farm asks you to ring for the daily picture, because what is open changes through a season this long.

You will also find them at the Holland Farmers Market every Wednesday and Saturday from May through October, if you want the fruit without the drive.

The farm publishes no price. Ring 269-561-5126 if you need to know before you go.

Pro tip: the sister business, White Barn Flower, grows cut flowers on the same ground. Ask when you ring, because it is not signposted from the fruit side.
