At Terrapin Orchards they are passionate about the produce they grow and whole heartedly invite you and your family to visit, pick fruit and enjoy a day in the sunshine.
“At Terrapin Orchards we are committed to producing the best fruit you can find, while being friendly to natural pollinator, our customers, and mother nature. We depend on Integrated pest management as the backbone of our growing practice.
We have about 4 acres of Strawberries at Terrapin Orchards. The berries typically start to ripen around Memorial day (last weekend in May) and continue to be available through the end of June. We have pre-picked berries for the folks who are just in it for the flavor, but we also offer pick your own berries for those who want the full experience. For those looking to do some canning, baking or are looking to pick a whole bunch of berries, we offer a discount for bringing your own bucket or ice cream pail to pick into. We simply weight your pail empty and again when full and charge by the pound.
If you’ve never had a farm fresh strawberry, you’ve never really had a strawberry. Our berries are fully ripe when picked and offer a tremendous amount of flavor. Our strawberries have a red juice filled center, instead of the unripe white pith that we have come to view as normal. Children who wear a white colored shirt to pick strawberries typically leave with a red colored shirt and a huge smile!”
They also sell their own honey.

Key Insights:
- Wonderful small town place to visit, make sure you pay attention to strawberry season, it doesn't last long!
- Brand new, clean building - rustic design, friendly staff went above and beyond, great local, family business.
- Also left here with jams and donuts for a well-balanced shopping experience.. Love their dwarf trees and the ability to just be outside and pick apples.
- I can’t wait to bring my family back each year to see how their business grows.. Made a fun drive on a Sunday afternoon from Decorah, Iowa to Galena, IL.
- I suggest the large box with wagons available to carry it, wear tennis shoes (not sandals), check out the McIntosh, Cortland, and Jonathan varieties brought from their other orchard (available inside the building), bring the family, and enjoy the view.
