Tom's Farm Market in Huntley, Illinois pairs a berry-and-orchard u-pick — apples, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, and cranberries — with a full visitor operation: farm store, bakery, corn maze, and petting zoo. That combination makes it a common family stop in the northwest Chicago suburbs, with picking running May through October. Cranberries are the unusual entry on the list; few Illinois u-pick farms grow them at all.
What to expect
Strawberries and raspberries anchor the early season, peaches arrive midsummer, and apples carry the fall alongside the corn maze. The farm store and bakery run year-round retail alongside the picking rows, and the petting zoo gives younger kids something beyond the fields. Check tomsfarmmarket.com for what's actually ripe before you drive out — the five-crop rotation means availability shifts through the season.
What to bring
- Choose a sturdy tote or backpack so you can keep both hands free on ladders.

- Plan for temperature swings on the ridge—layers beat bulky coats.
