If you are planning to bring children, we have lots of fun things (including berry picking) for kids to do.


On Tuesday, June 25, 2013,  Coreen Savitski of KSDK Channel 5 "Show me St. Louis" visited our farm.  To view a video clip of her show click here.

On Tuesday, May 17, 2010, Scott Connell of KSDK Channel 5 news conducted the local weather on location at Lakeview Farms.  You can still view a video clip of Scott & Farmer Karl discussing Strawberry Care at http://www.ksdk.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=86286556001

Lakeview Farms is a family owned farm that serves only the St. Louis metro area.  None of our berries or gourds are shipped out of the St. Louis area.  We hire only local teenagers, college students, and occasionally local adults that have an interest in working outside.  We do not employ migrant farm workers(who in my opinion are very dependable and hard working people); this means that 100% of our berry production is sold U-Pick -- we are not able to sell "prepicked" berries.  Lakeview Farms is operated under Sustainable Farming practices that try to minimize the negative impact of our operations on the environment.
