Late summer brings many joys with it, and one of my favorites is the abundance of fresh fruit. This is peak berry season, and while some crops may have come and gone, other delicious bounties of the vine are in full bloom. There’s no better place to enjoy this bumper crop than at the best berry farm in Iowa – The Berry Patch. This u-pick farm located in the tiny town of Nevada is in the middle of its busy season, before it makes the shift toward the fall orchard season, and there is no better time to explore the fields and walk away with a basket of amazing berries. This farm isn’t just a place for fruit – it’s an attraction in its own right, and the farm is usually packed with families making a day of it and fruit-lovers looking to walk away with all they need for a season of jams, pies, and more. Why not join the party and discover just how delicious Iowa berries can be?
