Another Blueberry Season Coming to a Close
It’s Friday, July 28th and we’ve got one week left before The Berry Patch no longer has you-pick available! This week, Friday, July 28th and Saturday, July 29th we will be offering normal Seasonal Hours. That is Friday 7am-9pm and Saturday 7am-3pm for picking.
Starting Tuesday, August 1st through Saturday, August 5th we will be offering limited hours for picking and bakery items: 7am-12pm each day, Tuesday, Aug 1 – Saturday Aug 5.

Last, but not least, this has been an incredible season. We have been so truly blessed with a wonderful crop, the weather stayed tolerable up until the very end, and we have been so thrilled to see many familiar faces from years past and a bunch of new faces too! Thank you for sharing your summer with us. We are so grateful for your support and business. It brings our family so much joy to be able to share the farm with other families and so thank you for being a part of the summer memories out here at The Berry Patch!

We’ve also added a few local items in our store this year- Belfonte Ice Cream and Kurzweils Meats! Make sure to grab some of both while in the store!
The picking will be GOOD for early morning picking! Depending on the crowd, that may change throughout the morning. We will do our very best to get on and provide an update as soon as possible if the status changes.
You-pick is $4.95/lb for 2023.
We-pick is unavailable for freshly picked berries at this moment, but we do have frozen in store.
Family Announcement:
On Tuesday, May 2nd, we said goodbye to our beloved, Penny Willis as she went to her Heavenly home to be with Jesus. Penny was the wife to Thompson Willis, mother to David, Josh and Grace, and grandmother of two. She and Tom founded The Berry Patch in 1975, 48 years ago. Penny was well known among so many of our customers and within our community for her contagious smile and friendly demeanor. She made newcomers feel as if she had been expecting them for some time, and welcomed yearly visitors as if they were part of her own family. Those who knew her well frequently commented on her kind nature, her hard work ethic, and her love for Jesus.
Over the years Penny created a place where family and friends could come to eat freshly picked produce while enjoying the outdoors and making memories that last a lifetime. She worked tirelessly to give the farm a charm that cannot be found elsewhere. Her dedication and commitment to The Berry Patch was unmatched. She was an inspiration and leaves behind a legacy that we hope to continue sharing with others for many years to come.
Store Hours Update:
The store is undergoing some updates and changes and we will not be open our normal off-season hours. The store will be closed until our blueberry season begins, but customers can still purchase frozen blueberries, blueberry plants, store items(preservatives, jams, syrups, drink base, canned vegetables, salsa and BBQ sauces) by appointment.
Please call the store and leave a message or text 816-679-2755 to schedule a time to visit!
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time!
Blueberry Picking Starting Tuesday, June 14th, 2022!
It’s finally time! The 2022 picking season will begin Tuesday, June 14, the store will open at 7am. Going forward we will be open Tues-Fri 7am-9pm and Saturday’s 7am-3pm.
If you are new here, we want you to know, we are more than just a you-pick farm, located just south of Kansas City, we offer a variety of activities, from a small country playground to an olde-time country store filled with delicious preserves, pickled vegetables, salsas and much, much more! Bring your kids for a morning (or evening) of blueberry picking, Berry Train rides, muffins and lemonade and memories that will last a lifetime!
I have called several times and left messages, but you have not taken the time to return my calls so I thought I would try e-mail. We used to have a blueberry patch and purchased irrigation supplies from you. We closed our blueberry operation several years ago, but still have the irrigation system to water our garden and flowers etc. We need some supplies for items that have broken. Do you still sell irrigation supplies?
Hi Mary, I apologize that we did not get back with you. I had seen one missed call for irrigation but in the chaos of preparing for opening the last two weeks I seemed to have misplaced the note. I am sorry.
What parts are you looking for? The irrigation business Tom used to run is no longer operating, however we do still have some equipment left, although most of it goes to our own irrigation. If you let me know what you are looking for I can have my husband look for it.
Thank you

We had a wonderful time picking berries yesterday. Delicious muffins and refreshing blueberry lemonade. I forgot to ask which type of blueberries are your plants?
This is Ben and Margaret Saathoff. We have gotten your berries in the past several years when the Michigan berries come in. We will get 15 gallon bags probably Wednesday morning July 13, 2022. My email is BenSaathoff@gmail.com.
You should put a map up of your farm of the layout for patches so people can figure out where the back patches are since no one that works there is back there to help guide.
