If you ask us, one of the best parts of summer is munching on a ripe strawberry, freshly picked by your very own hands.

Driving the news: The u-pick season is upon us and, thanks to Driving Wind Berry Farm, you don't even have to leave the city limits to enjoy it.

Details: Sitting on 32 acres along Michigan Road just three miles north of Newfields, Driving Wind offers strawberry, blueberry and blackberry picking throughout the summer.

The farm started a decade ago with blueberries and added strawberries and blackberries over the years.
It also operates a cafe and hosts a Friday night concert series.

If you go: Driving Wind Berry Farm, 6410 Michigan Road.

Open 7am to 2pm Tuesday-Friday and 9am to 2pm Saturday.
U-pick fruit is $8.99/quart.
