“I have decided I love Michigan in large part because of this Fruit Farm. Bruce (my black lab) and I got lucky with our timing that we are here on a Monday when they aren't working the orchard; because it's pretty much just us here and we have had the chance to walk around and explore. The orchard itself is beautiful! And I am super happy we are here for lunch to enjoy the food from the market. I believe the woman that checked us out owns the property with her husband and she was absolutely delightful. They're definitely dog friendly, which I'd seen in a review before we came. But more generally they are just friendly. I only wish that I could come back later in the year to try the cider! But for a spot to spend the afternoon as we pass through on a road trip to the East Coast it was really amazing.”

“We had such a neat experience here- The staff found out it was our first visit and showed us around- home made pies, quiches, butter, meats, sauces, fudge, buttercream frosting, donuts and so much more! I grabbed a loaf of sourdough and honey butter, half a dozen donuts and fudge. The upcoming Christmas packets for s’mores making and Santa visits.. wish we were going to be in town. They have a new gift shop too- Go check them out!!”

“One of the best Orchards in Southwest MI. Great bakery with doughnuts and fresh squeezed apple cider. Lots of acreage to walk and pick your own apples right off the tree. I know many Pele in this area think GullMeadiw Farms in Richland is the best, but I'm here to tell you this place is by far the best! Ponies and goats for the kids to pet, and they have a jump pad. That being did my kiddies prefer to just climb their trees.”

“This has always been a great place to come with family and friends. Since my last time they have added a building for donuts and gifts. Cider is still available in the barn and they provide a free sample. It’s all delicious. There is a hayride and fun activities for the kids and some live music. Beautiful scenery, a very special Fall experience.”
