Heider's Berry Farm — Attraction in Woodstock

So this place has three varieties of raspberries which is why we went but we ran out of time to get what we wanted to so I bought the pre-picked ones they had and when I got home they were all smushed and a lot were rotted under the top layer and I know it was they ones we bought cause we didn’t pick any red ones and the purple we picked we put our names on them and the one bought we didn’t so I wasn’t to happy having to throw away 4 cartons on raspberries and then some lady there pretended to be staff and told me when I asked where the black raspberry rows were in the general area I was directed to by an actual staff member the lady said only these two rows but they we completely picked or eaten by bugs turns out when we went to go pay for the measly little bit of black ones that lady was with a group of people I’m assuming a family who had a thick accent so not from around here I’m guessing it definitely was of Russian descent or Ukrainian sounding but they were hoarding all the raspberries and u couldn’t buy black ones either so I asked the guy why do u only hv 2 rows they r all sucked dry by insects or picked and he said who told u that we have 4 over where u were and 4 in a different place and 4 shorter rows in another area smh so obviously thats not their fault but there should be a limit on the black ones so everyone can pick them cause they literally had like atleast 12 or more of just those and then more red ones and same with the purple ones so they weren’t just buying them for personal eating it looked like they were trying to make jam or something to sell!! Anyway after driving over an hour and a half to get there and then the same back to have all that happen it wasn’t a good experience wish it was cuz I really would of loved to have good ripe non smushed and rotted raspberries and LOVED to have the black ones cause I missed the wild growing ones around me and now I hv to wait another year!!! 🥺 oh and the money wasted and berries...

This place is SO cute! It’s easy to find and there is plenty of parking space! I got some raspberries since they are my favorite fruit, but they also offer a variety of other produce, jam, and even firewood!

I drove about 50 minutes and this was worth every second! They advertise “you pick” and raspberries that they already picked. (They also had other fruits, but I’m a raspberry addict so I had tunnel vision.) Their facebook page will let you know what they have available! This is definitely helpful because you can run and grab some fresh fruit if you’re ever craving some. Plus they know what berries are perfectly ripe, so you can trust the quality of what they set out! It was $5 a pint that you pick, and $7 for one that they pick.

Since I went on a Thursday morning I was the only one there, so it was quite peaceful. There are many rows to walk through and you will absolutely find berries to your liking. I think this is a great place for people of any age to visit! You may want little ones to be careful with their hands.

The owners were super nice and even let me try different fields to see how the berries tasted different. They are very juicy, sweet, and addicting. I think they taste more floral than the ones at the store which can be a bit more on the tart and firm side. I was also intrigued by the color because of how vibrant and fresh they look!

I got 2 pints of raspberries and did not even leave a dent in how many they have. Go get some while they are ripe, you will...

Oh... my God! 😁 We went here about a month or two ago. I have never picked a strawberry before in my life, this was an amazing experience! I could not stop smiling in the strawberry field & I was in such a state of extreme happiness & satisfaction, it was UNREAL! I've had a few other experiences in my life like this where it was such a unique experience involving the weather that day, the people with & around me, the colors, sights, sounds, & smells in that area & it felt like I was on another planet or something. A once in a lifetime type experience. We found ourselves completely alone in the strawberry field on a really nice & bright sunny day. We went towards the end of the strawberry season so we really had to hunt for them but that added to the fun! The raspberries from here... 😁 Thank you for offering the purple ones 💜 God bless you! I had plans to go again a few weeks after this but something came up with somebody's schedule or something, I don't remember, & we couldn't go & I just wanted to cry! 🤣 I really hope to come see you again next...
