Strawberries, blueberries and more: Where to go berry-picking in Northeast Ohio 🍓🫐
Berry-picking season is nearly here and for those Northeast Ohio residents ready to pick their fruit, there are numerous opportunities throughout the region to do so.
One such place is the Greenfield Berry Farm, owned and operated by Daniel Greenfield within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Peninsula. Specializing in blueberries and aronia berries, Greenfield reports a solid harvest this season.
"It looks like it will be a typical year, with no major losses or any bumper crop," Greenfield said.
Some farms, however, are reporting berries are behind schedule this season.
Julie Renner, owner of Renner's Blueberry Knolls Farm in Sugar Creek Township, said blueberries have been slower to grow this year.
With the impending arrival of blueberry-picking season in a few weeks, Greenfield recommends checking the farm's social media for the latest information on picking days and times.
"We aren't open for regular hours, if we have an abundance of berries to be picked, we let people know picking will be available [for certain hours]," he said. "The best way to know what's going on is to follow us on Facebook."

Heavy rain causing flooding problems for Boardman neighborhood
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — Heavy rain is proving to be an issue for some local residents. It's not only flooding streets and backyards, but also inside their homes. It's an issue that residents say hasn't happened since 2019, but after Friday's heavy rain, it's a problem that can't be ignored. 'At this point, I'm getting paranoid of what's going to happen. Is my basement going to flood?' said Melanie Timmings, a Huntington Woods resident. 'The rain started and the flooding started occurring, and it just didn't stop for at least an hour,' said Greg Pugh, another Huntington Woods resident. Many residents living in the Huntington Woods neighborhood share the same concerns. Video shows water rushing from Tippecannoe Road through the Huntington Ridge condos before running into the yards in Huntington Woods. Yards were left with debris washed in from the flood, and a part of a resident's wall was damaged in the process. Residents say when the water backs up, it not only floods out of their backyards but also into their basements and garages. 'I did have some seeping through the walls. Luckily, my sump pump was working to its potential and doing its job. We did get the water cleaned up, but [I'm] fearful every time it rains — what's going to happen to my house?' Timmings said. The flooding also creates an impact on traffic. With only two ways to enter and exit Huntington Woods, residents say it forces them to stay home. 'If it gets real bad and if the road's flooded and we have severe weather, how do we get out if the roads are blocked?' Pugh said. Residents hope township officials will look into the issue and that a solution will be found. 'This can't be happening every time it rains. People's houses are getting damaged, basements flooded. It's just not right,' Pugh said. 'Hopefully, the city takes this seriously and something can be done about it so it doesn't happen again,' Timmings said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
