Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Michigan.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Fantastic family farm. If you want the VERY BEST CIDER, fresh crisp apples, yummy honey, simply perfect jelly & big fresh eggs. We have been going their for years, nothing else compares. This is a must see farm! Stop buying store stuff, taste the difference yourself, your body will love you.”
“We LOVE Lesser Farms! They have the best cider around, many varieties of apples and other fruits. They also have a bunch of different sizes of pumpkins. My visit today included the surprise of some very friendly kitties that greeted me at my car!”
“Beautiful pumpkins, delicious apples, great prices, even kitty visits! Wonderful little place! (Anyone giving less than 5 stars because they don’t have a hayride is foolish—not every farm is meant to be a tourist trap).”
“A great place on a dirt road. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. I love their apples and prices. They have a Mutsu apple you have to try! Check out their cider and they also sell meat and pumpkins. Check them out”
“Best around, no comparison. Some of the best cider I've ever had. Apples are beautiful. The meat for sale is great! Friendly staff. Everything about this spot is 11/10.”
“We've been getting honey, eggs, cider and apples from here for years, great family owned and operated, great prices great products. We buy for out of towners too”
“Awesome prices on their home raised beef! The cider is the best, less sugary than other places that are close to them. Love their fresh plums”
“Always a good experience there. They are friendly and helpful. Very good quality of items. I have coming here over 40 years.”
