Dropping an update here to reiterate how much I love this place. We visited again this past weekend for blueberry and blackberry picking. The bushes were loadddeddd! And, if you're not in the mood for picking, you can always pop into their store to purchase already picked berries. The store also features a variety of jams, honey, etc. we also visited the cafe that offers breakfast and lunch options along with coffee. U appreciated that they had some books snd coloring pages for kids as well.Our berries were so good that we are returning this weekend to pick more. We're also planning to purchase some of the u-pick flowers during our visit. This is a peaceful oasis in the heart of our city!

We really loved that this farm was in the City, but it felt like we traveled away. The cafe is wonderful, albeit a tad slow. The entire place is super cute and the prices are really nice as well. I'm not a picking pro, but I would say if traveling far away is not something you want to do, then look no further than Driving Wind! We visited on a day where we DID travel all over the Indy area, and Driving Wind was right at the top of our experiences.

I don't know how I didn't know this, but I just learned that there's a cute little coffee shop at Driving Wind Farm less than 1/2 mile from me. I had to try the B&Gs and a Mocha for breakfast...they were so so so good!

Omg!!!! So real quick. I'm a truck driver and this was my first stop. Had never been here, but would ride past and see all the bushes of berries during harvest season. Anyway, my stomach was growling and I didn't pack anything light. I make the delivery and noticed a sign that said cafe. Just in time for me to grab something for the road. Francine, employee, informed me of the hot beverage selections and an assortment of pastries; just to name a few. I walked to the cafe and to my surprise, I never knew this little cafe even existed. It was warm and a delight. I couldn't decide on what I wanted to drink. I knew something warm, but it was hard trying to narrow down from their selection. They have a few selections catered to the holiday. I'll definitely be returning to try one. While checking out the menu and looking around, I noticed White Chicken Chili. That's all she wrote! I opted for a small and one of the best peanut butter cookies!! I came to say that the was the best darn WCC I've had!!!! It was creamy, but not overly creamy. It was packed with flavor. And the chicken was tender and plentiful throughout. You can see the herbs and seasonings. Had I known it was going to knock my socks off, I would have gotten a large. I'll be making my way back tomorrow to get more for myself and few smalls to share with family. If you are a fan of white chicken chili, don't walk, run or skip. You better catch a flight!!! Francine, thank you!

I wish I could give this place five thousand stars! We had so much fun picking berries! And ALSO they have an adorable shop and cafe filled with great food, goodies, and treats. The staff were so friendly and helpful, but not overbearing. I took my 5 year-old and we had the absolute best time!

I've been to Driving Winds Berry Farm several times now and I've enjoyed each visit. The Berry Farm sits back off of Michigan Road with a big Open Flag by the entrance. Looking for fresh berries? Yes!! You pick or there's usually a few pints of pre-picked berries in the cooler located in the Garden Shop. The picking season runs April - October for Strawberries, Blueberries and Blackberries. You pick prices run $8.99 per quart and a little higher for those pre-picked. The berries are sweet, plump and beautiful with protective netting over the berries to protect against birds. The business and picking hours could vary depending on weather and berry availability. Driving Winds opens at 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, Saturday 9:00 - 2:00 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday. You can also find perennial plants and shrubs as well as hanging baskets plus annuals planted in cute tin pots this past Spring. Fresh flowers are available for customers to cut for bouquets. The sunflowers were gorgeous during my last visit. Wagon Rides, Pumpkins and Mums will be available soon.The Garden Shop has great gift items with pie plates, local honey, jellies, jams, sauces, hand crafted soaps and candles, bath products and I'm a Berry Good Boy/Girl merchandise from infant to adult extra-large plus much more.The Cafe is the hidden gem here with patio or indoor seating. The menu offers excellent cinnamon rolls, brownies, muffins, lemon bread, daily lunch specials, hot or cold beverages from Lattes, Mochas, Espressos, Lemonade Shake-Ups, Root Beer Floats, Berry Filled Ice Cream Bars and Lick Ice Cream. My favorite is the Bruschetta Flights served on excellent bread where you can select 4 of the 6 flavors for $14 but only served on Saturday. The Pineapple Haberno Spread is my favorite with the Ricotta, Fig and Pistachio running a close second.All the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Parking is located in the grass area across from the Gift Shop and the small lane is gravel leading from Michigan Road to back of property where the blackberries are located so dress appropriately for weather conditions.

This is an urban farm located off of Michigan road. It's located not that far past the Michigan Road Public Library. They had blueberries as well as blackberries that you could pick right now. They had strawberries that weren't ready to pick yet. Being able to pick blueberries and blackberries from the plant is as fresh as it's going to get! They have a little store that sells locally made candles the triple pudding berry that was burning next to the register smelled great! Soaps, jams, salsas, local honey are available. Next to the store sell 4 Birds Bakery cookies quite a few varieties. They sell LICK popsicles, ice cream, drinks, and coming soon coffee! I saw in some of the pictures they sell pies and chicken pot pies. One of the workers said they're going to try to have pumpkins which they planted, apple cider, and fall things later on. It sounded like a great idea to keep the farm open later on into the year.

My sister and I visited for the first time today and are blown away by all they have to offer! We picked blackberries, strawberries, blueberries as well as enjoyed lunch at the cafe. The strawberries are in standing upright containers which makes for easy convenient picking. I loved the bacon, turkey, pesto sandwich and my sister enjoyed the chicken salad club. Great place for kids to as they have a couple horses, picnic areas and offer wagon rides on certain days. I hear they have plans for new fall festivities which I'm excited to take part in. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

The absolute cutest farm, shop & Cafe nestled right along Michigan Rd. My daughter and I stopped in for a quick treat and were blown away by the wonderful service, options and all the activities held throughout the year. We will definitely be back with the whole family for strawberry, blueberry & pumpkin picking days

I do not recommend this farm at all. They have rude and unprofessional owners. The picks aren't good at all either.
