About This Farm
Verellen Orchards on Van Dyke has been going since 1920 and is open every day of the year, but its picking field runs for a few weeks in June and then shuts.
What You Can Pick
- Strawberries - June
- Cherries - June and July
Everything else the farm sells, including its apples, peaches and pears, is picked by Verellen and sold in the shop.
What Else is Available
A year-round farm shop with baked goods, produce, canned goods and cider.
Good to Know
In the farm's own words, in capitals on its homepage: "U-Pick IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON! REOPENS JUNE 2027."
The shop keeps farmer's hours all the same: Monday to Friday from 6.30am, Saturday and Sunday from 7am, both until 6pm.
Posted at the gate: "Pets, smoking/vaping, firearms and drones are NOT permitted on Verellen property."
Pro tip: a 6.30am opening is unusual for a farm shop and it is the real reason to know about Verellen. If you want the donuts and cider before work rather than as a weekend outing, this is the one place in the Romeo belt that will sell them to you at dawn.
