Big Red Orchard

“October 2024 - came back here a year later for some good donuts and family time picking apples. A great place to visit and worth the drive. October 2023 - we came here on a Sunday and it was busy. Not many trees in the back had apples, but they had a lot of apple trees on the property. Closer to the barn in walking distance was many rows of apple trees. In the back you could pick pumpkins, but they had many with a price point near the front door. In the building, you could buy bags of their apples, apple sauce, hot sauce, shirts, and many other things. Their donuts were good. The kids loved their cider. I was asked how their donuts match with Blake's and Yates. To be honest, I think all 3 have really good donuts. Yates first, Blake's and then big red. Blake's and Yates were warm, while Big Red it was not. Big red has these donut nachos and my kids loved those. In the back or on the side of their business is a big area with picnic tables, a big hay bail pyramid. Also near there are some games to play and there was a business that was selling food. This place is by far the cleanest and up-to-date then other places that I have been to. Overall my family really loved this place. Some things maybe a 4, but just the overall experience from my family was a 5. I have 3 daughters from age 6-11.”

“Everyone was super polite and kind, there is a free play area for kids including a huge hay stack, basketball, and more a big open field and more, there’s also a haunted hay ride which I haven’t been on but it looks really cool! The cider was amazing and the donuts were great. We went apple picking but I suggest you go earlier in the year because all the apples were pretty much dead but the were good!”

“For a quick stop in and out to grab some apple cider, and some other fall goodies. This place is nice. The cider was good, the donut is just ok. But being a native Michagander I am a cider mill donut snob. I have my favorites. The is a pick you own apple orchard. I'm Not sure about how much it costs.”

“New owners and new awesome experience! We brought our family and cousins for U-Pick apples, cider, and donuts. The kids loved the hayride! The kids zone was so much fun. Can't wait until the bar opens! The cider and donuts are soooo good!!”

“My family and I are trying different orchards and cider mills this year since Blake's donuts and cider have gotten worse over the years. Big Red Orchard was nice! The donuts were a good size and they were soft and melted in your mouth when warm. They also have quite a huge store and what looked like a bar. My dad and brother liked the cider a lot but I would give it a 3.5/5 because it kind of tasted like Blake's and I don't really like their cider anymore. Still, a really fun place to hang out at! 9/10 will visit again!”

“Went for the first time. Drinks were good, no vegetarian options unless you want salad. They messed up my son's dinner so we had to wait for the remake. I probably wouldn't go back because it's so open inside that's it's just really loud and not a pleasant meal experience.”

“Was excited to try this place. We were sat right away and the server Spencer kinda ignored us for the longest time. Brought us warm pop from the pop gun. Not pleasant. ( Keep the ice bin full at night to prevent this) took him forever in a day to return to get our app orders. And then I almost had to hunt him down from doing his walking around behind the bar to order our food. And then when he ordered my salad , side Dakar with chicken he ordered it wrong and blamed it on the kitchen. But when I got my tab....he ordered me a Caesar. My kids picked apart their food. It was a horrible experience that I had to pay 65 bucks to leave hungry. Spencer.... Pay better attention to your tables....And you'll make more money.”

“Stay away from this company they don’t give out military discounts at all staff want respectful at all long time for my drinks”
