Come Visit Our Michigan Blueberry Farm Near Holland for Pizza, Subs, and Ice Cream

Most people find us because they are looking for blueberries. That is how it has been since 1954, when our family planted its first bushes on James Street. But somewhere along the line, our farm turned into more than a place to fill a bucket. It became the spot where a bike ride ends in ice cream, where a Saturday of picking turns into pizza at a shaded table, and where a lot of West Michigan families have decided dinner tastes better with a field of bushes in the background.

That is the version of our farm we want you to know about. Pizza, subs, ice cream, coffee, and other delicious treats will be around through fall at Bowerman's Farm & Market! We are still a working blueberry farm, and that will never change. Three generations of our family are out in those rows every season. But the market building in the middle of all of it has grown into a gathering place, and we love watching people realize they can spend a whole evening here rather than fifteen minutes. Come hungry. That is really our only advice.

Pizza in Holland Served Right on the Blueberry Farm

Ask around Holland about pizza and you will hear the usual places. We are not one of them, and we like it that way. Our oven sits on a farm, which means our kitchen thinks about food a little differently than a shop on a busy corner does. Pizza is available daily from 11am until 7:45pm during our season, so it works for lunch after a morning in the fields or dinner on the way home from the lakeshore.

Our Blueberry Inspired Pizza Menu

Try some of the most popular blueberry-inspired flavors, including our famous BBQ blueberry chicken pizza. It is smoky, sweet, and a little tangy all at once, and it has converted more skeptics than we can count. People usually order it the first time out of curiosity. They order it the second time on purpose. Of course, not everyone comes to a farm looking to be adventurous, and we get it. Our menu gives everyone at your table a reason to be happy:

• Classic pizzas made fresh to order. Pepperoni, cheese, and the combinations you already know you love, built the same way every time so the kids in your group know what they are getting before you park.

  
  

• Blueberry specialty pizzas that borrow from our fields. These change with what we have on hand and what our kitchen crew is excited about, and they give you something you cannot order anywhere else in West Michigan.

  
  

• Hot and cold subs for guests who would rather not split a pie. They travel well too, which makes them a favorite for people heading to Holland State Park or back to a cottage for the evening.

  
  

• Sides and shareable extras that round out a meal for bigger groups. When you have a crew of hungry pickers with you, a few extras on the table keep everybody happy while the pizza finishes up. Pizza in Holland is not hard to find. What is harder to find is a pizza you eat outside, at a picnic table, with the bushes that grew some of the ingredients right in front of you.

Ice Cream, Coffee, and Sweet Treats at Our Holland Farm & Market

Almost nobody leaves our farm without ice cream. We stopped treating that as a coincidence a long time ago. Our soft serve is the natural ending to a warm afternoon, and the blueberry flavors give visitors a reason to try something they will not get at a drive up window in town. Smoothies do the same job for anyone cooling off without committing to a cone, though most people end up with both.

Our bakery is the other reason people wander in. Blueberry donuts come out fresh daily and disappear about as fast as you would expect. Pies, hand pies, and muffins fill out the case, all made with berries from our own fields and recipes our family has used for generations. If you have never eaten a blueberry pie made from fruit grown fifty yards away, we would like to fix that.

Coffee serves a different crowd, and plenty of regulars have built a morning routine around a cup on the farm. For a fuller coffee and bakery experience year round, our downtown cafe at Bowerman's on 8th keeps the same family recipes going after our farm season winds down.

Blueberry Picking in Holland MI Tastes Better With Dinner Waiting

Food is only half of what brings people out here. The other half is the reason we planted all of this in the first place. Our u-pick season runs through the heart of summer, and filling a bucket yourself brings a satisfaction store shelves cannot match.

Kids especially get something out of it. They learn where fruit comes from, they eat about as much as they collect, and they sleep well that night. When you arrive, check in with our u-pick staff on the northwest side of the market building. We hand out buckets and bags, and you are welcome to bring your own container.

Timing depends on the weather each year, so it is worth checking our u-pick page or calling before you make the drive. Here is the part we love most. You walk out of the field with a full bucket, hand it over to be weighed, and walk a few steps to a kitchen that will feed you. No packing up the car, no arguing about where to eat. Pick, weigh, order, sit down. It has become the way a lot of West Michigan families spend a summer evening. If picking is not in the cards, we have fresh blueberries already picked and waiting inside the market through around Labor Day, while supplies last.

More Than Michigan Blueberries at Our Holland Farm & Market

People are often surprised by how much is packed into our market building. Blueberries brought you here, but they are not the only thing worth loading into your trunk.

• In season local produce from our farm and our neighbors. We carry sweet cherries, peaches, and apples from farms around West Michigan because supporting the growers next door matters to us.

  
  

• Jars, sauces, and pantry goods made with our fruit. Preserves, fruit butters, syrups, salsas, BBQ sauces, pickles, and muffin mixes fill our shelves, and they make the kind of gift that gets used rather than shoved in a cupboard.

  
  

• Gifts, snacks, and blueberry-themed treasures. Our gift shop is a good place to grab something for a host, a coworker, or the relative who already owns everything. Can't make it out to the farm this week? Our online store ships jams, syrups, sauces, and gift boxes made with blueberries grown in our own fields. For a head start on what to look for, our guide to the top blueberry items not to miss covers what our regulars grab first.

  
  

Events, Play Space, and Family Fun at Our Blueberry Farm

A farm visit should not feel rushed, and we have built ours so that it does not have to be.

• Bluebear and our outdoor play space. Kids can run, climb, and burn off energy in the open air while the adults sit with coffee or wait on a pizza, which is the arrangement most parents are hoping for on a summer afternoon.

  
  

• Seasonal events all season long. We host weekends built around strawberries, blueberries, and fall favorites, with treats, drinks, and activities that come and go with the calendar. Our event list shows what is coming up next.

  
  

• Private events on the farm. Our market space can be rented for showers, birthdays, receptions, and gatherings, and our team handles setup, staffing, and equipment so you can enjoy the day. The details are on our private events page.

  
  

• Catering that travels off the farm. If your event is somewhere else in Holland, our catering service brings boxed lunches, pastries, pies, and charcuterie to you. Families looking to make a whole day of it have options beyond our property line too. Make it a full day trip with our guide to the perfect Bowerman's day in Holland, from downtown shopping to sunset at Big Red.

Plan Your Visit to Our Blueberry Farm Near Holland, Michigan

Here is the honest pitch. You could get pizza anywhere tonight, and you could buy blueberries at any grocery store in West Michigan. What you cannot get in many places is an evening where all of it happens in one spot, on land our family has worked for over seventy years, with the sun going down over the rows while your kids finish their cones.

Come enjoy late-summer fun on our 100-acre Michigan blueberry farm near Holland, Michigan. Bring the family. Bring a cooler. Bring an appetite and a little patience for the ice cream line, because it is worth it. We would love to see you out here before the season turns.

Bowerman's Farm & Market FAQs

What food does Bowerman's Farm & Market serve?

We serve pizza, subs, breakfast burritos, soft serve ice cream, smoothies, coffee, and a bakery case with blueberry donuts made fresh daily, pies, hand pies, and muffins. Blueberry inspired items are our specialty, and our BBQ blueberry chicken pizza is one of the most requested things we make. Pizza is served daily from 11am until 7:45pm during our season.

How long is the farm and market open each year?

Our market is now open year-round. January through April, we are open a few days each week. Then we're open a more regular schedule May through Christmas, so you can visit well after the last berries come off the bushes. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date hours. Pizza, subs, ice cream, and coffee stick around through fall. U-pick has a shorter window that depends on the weather, so if picking is your main goal, aim for the peak summer weeks and check with us first. Our downtown bakery and cafe stays open year-round.

Can I pick blueberries and eat at the market during the same visit?

Yes, and we would encourage it. Our market building sits right on the 100-acre farm, so you can fill a bucket, have it weighed, and order dinner without moving your car. It is the most common way people spend an afternoon here. If picking has wrapped for the season, we usually have fresh berries already picked inside the market through  Labor Day.

Is the farm a good spot for families with young children?

Very much so. Between the picking rows, our Bluebear play space, and the outdoor eating areas, kids have room to move while the adults relax. The setting is casual, so nobody has to worry about keeping a table quiet through a long meal. Our post on fun activities for kids has more ideas for planning a visit with little ones.

Can I host a private event at the farm?

Yes. Our farm market space is available for showers, birthdays, receptions, and other private gatherings, and we also host events at Bowerman's on 8th in downtown Holland if you want a different setting. Our team handles setup, staffing, table arrangements, and equipment rentals. Reach out early, especially for summer and fall dates, since those book up quickly.
