About This Farm
Riverbend Farms on 72nd Street at South Haven is a raspberry specialist in a region where almost every farm grows blueberries, and its Instagram handle says so plainly: rbraspberries.
What You Can Pick
- Red and black raspberries - the speciality, u-pick and ready-picked
- Blackberries
- Pears, which very few farms here open to the public
- Chestnuts
Good to Know
Open mid-June through late October, which is one of the longest runs in the region and far longer than the blueberry farms around it.
The farm publishes no hours or prices, so ring before setting out.
Pro tip: black raspberries are the ones to come for. They crop for about two weeks in July, taste nothing like a red one, and are effectively unbuyable fresh.
