Cain's Orchard

Located in Wisconsin's Picturesque & Rolling Countryside

Cain's Orchard was established by Kevin & Diane Cain in 1976. We were young, enthusiastic and energetic with dreams of embarking upon an agricultural adventure. We were lured to Hixton by the beauty and serenity of the land. The hills and slopes provide a microclimate with important winter protection and air drainage for our fruit. The close proximity of our orchard to I-94, Hwy. 95, and Hwy. 121 would prove to be a favorable location. Our Venture and our dreams continue. Come share them with us....  We have...

20 Acres Highbush Cultivated Blueberries

 . We will be picking rain or shine although we do ask that you return to your cars for safety in the event of thunder & lightening. Your cars will be parked close by you in the patch.We will have an excellent blueberry crop this season. Our 3rd Saturday of blueberry picking will be Saturday July 31st. Blueberry picking continues Saturday's August 7th & August 14th.We start @ 7 AM. You do not need an appointment to pick our berries-just show up. You will not be assigned plants to pick-just go anywhere you want. The price again this year is $1.25 per pound. Our crowds of blueberry pickers can be large so we do encourage blueberry pickers to arrive early in the day for optimal berry picking.

  •  We grow 20,000 Highbush cultivated blueberries plants on 20 acres. The plants are 4-10 feet tall with most of the berries located between your knees & shoulders. Our blueberries are sold U-Pick on Saturday's only to allow the berries 1 week to sweeten, ripen & size. We begin picking @ 7 AM (no earlier than 7 AM) & continue picking until the ripe berries are gone for the day.We grow 9 varieties of blueberries with the season usually beginning the 3rd week in July. We encourage you to bring 5qt. ice cream buckets to pick in as the scale which weighs the berries will automatically deduct the weight of your pail.. We are sorry-our berries are sold U-Pick only. We do not have ready picked berries available.We encourage children & provide a neat lawn-like setting for picking.  .
