Van Kley's Blueberries — Attraction in North Judson

If you are looking for good experience picking berries I strongly recommend you avoid this place.

We chose to go here for berry picking as most other berry farms were closed on the day we went. Most of the staff was kind and there was a nice picnic area- but one bad experience with one employee was enough to spoil the vacation for the family. When we began picking berries, we were rudely yelled at by a woman who may have been a supervisor. She told us we were only allowed to pick from one row, sharply scolded us for going to the wrong row due to her lack of specification, and threatened to monitor us to make sure we didn’t disobey her orders. We as a group were stunned by her treatment of customers as we had driven hours and were intending on buying a good amount of blueberries. We go berry picking every year to other patches and we had never been restricted to where we could walk and pick berries, which diminished the experience for our rather large group. In my experience, farms have allowed people to roam and pick as they please, so I suggest you go to a farm which has such a policy. We could not even walk past our limited row in the large farm for fear of the supervisor watching us. It was disappointing to drive hours to come to a farm to only be able to stick to one small row.

Do not waste...

We have come to Van Kleys for so many years & it’s the only place we will go!! The entire place is so well kept! It’s so peaceful, I love listening to the birds chirp ( even the squaking fake birds!)

Amazing fruit for you pick or already picked. But, I was stupidly wearing sandals my pick day. I stepped in mud, so I thought. The "mud" stained my foot and the next morning, the stain was still there AND where the "mud" was on my skin, that skin is now peeling!!!! It's gross. I figure there had to be a chemical in the dirt. But their fruit was top...
