If you are planning to bring children, we have lots of fun things (including berry picking) for kids to do.

On Tuesday, May 17, 2010, Scott Connell of KSDK Channel 5 news conducted the local weather on location at Lakeview Farms.  You can still view a video clip of Scott & Farmer Karl discussing Strawberry Care at http://www.ksdk.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=86286556001


For those of you that missed the KMOV Channel 4 news Strawberry Picking at Lakeview Farms special by Julian Grace on May 27, 2009, you can still view a short video on their web site at:  http://www.kmov.com/archive/68952037.html,

Lakeview Farms is a family owned farm that serves only the St. Louis metro area.  None of our berries or gourds are shipped out of the St. Louis area.  We hire only local teenagers, college students, and occasionally local adults that have an interest in working outside.  We do not employ migrant farm workers(who in my opinion are very dependable and hard working people); this means that 100% of our berry production is sold U-Pick -- we are not able to sell "prepicked" berries.  Lakeview Farms is operated under Sustainable Farming practices that try to minimize the negative impact of our operations on the environment.
