A Note from Annette and Randy:

As of July 3, 2009 Fruit Acres has an update for the Cherry U-Pick!!! Due to the harsh weather so far this year, we had a poor crop in our Sweet Cherry trees. Cherries are a very delicate crop and that is why we all love them so much. We are now out of U-Pick Black Sweet Cherries. We have Black Sweet Cherries already picked at our Farm Market by I-94, 10 pounds for $2.79 per pound. We are very very sorry for the inconvenience. We still have lots and lots of U-Pick Sour Pie Cherries crop in good condition. Sour Cherries are $.99 per pound for U-Pick, but we do not have any already picked. For U-Pick Sour Pie Cherries we will be open 10 am to 5pm everyday through Sunday, July 12, while quantities last.

Fruit Acres Farm Market is open with Our Own Big Black Sweet Cherries, 10 pounds for $2.79 per pound, First of the season Local Red ($4.99 pint) and Black Raspberries ($3.99 pint), Local Sweet Blueberries (10 pound box $23.99), A large assortment of local Michigan Herb Plants ($.99 each), Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Cucumbers, Pickles, Fresh local Sugar Snap Peas (edible pods). Get your peas soon because they are just an early summer crop. Because of the cool spring our fruit is ripening about 1 week later than the last few years so far. U-Pick Peaches will begin around July 25 for sweet early peaches.

Gas in Michigan is currently $2.67 gallon.

Now for an update of the crops. Peaches are good crop (about the same as 2008). Apples are much better than the last 3 years. Apricots and Plums have a good crop. We are excited about most of the crops this year! Because of the cool spring our fruit is ripening about 1 week later than the last few years.
