Strawberries

Strawberries are our most popular product, and they sell out quickly! Strawberries are typically ready after Memorial Day, and they are available for 2-3 weeks. Berries are offered by the pound or by the quart. Strawberries are obtainable via u-pick, or by ordering in advance. To order strawberries, an order must be placed by calling (309)647-6151.

Tips:

  • Place an order in advance to secure some strawberries. We do our best to have them ready when you want them, but the waitlist is often several days.

  • Prepare strawberries the day of purchase. All strawberries are sold the same day of harvest to ensure freshness, but they start to dehydrate after 12-24 hours of harvest.

  • The u-pick patch sells out early! The best chance of obtaining berries is via u-pick. Once the berries are harvested for that day, the next chace for u-pick may be 1-2 days later. Prepare to wake up early for the best chance to pick strawberries.

  • Our Facebook page (Gillam’s Produce) will have up-to-date information on strawberry availability and open hours. Hours may vary day to day depending on ripeness of berries and weather.
