Eckerts has been around since 1920. My family loves to go there even when there aren't fruits to be picked. They also have a large country store with a great bakery, garden center, great restaurant and a custard/ice cream stand. There is also a children's area and petting zoo. Tractors and wagons take customers to the fields to pick produce.

Nothing is better than fresh picked strawberries or fresh picked peaches!

They also have two other properties: one in Millstadt and one in Grafton.
