A Note from Annette and Randy: As of
July 29, 2010 Summer is here at Fruit Acres Farms. Fruit
Acres Farms U-Pick is open every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm
with Sweet Freestone Peaches. Saturday July 31
& Sunday August 1 & August 7 - 8 we will have lots
of Red Haven Peaches.
Red Haven Peaches do not always come off the pit in some years, so be
prepared. All Peach picking is $.75 per pound
up to 35 pounds and $.65 per pound over 35 pounds. That is the
same price as last year. There is no admission charge, you only pay
for the fruit you take with you. We do still give you the container,
free hayride to the orchard, and a free playground with volleyball court
and covered picnic area. You are welcome to bring your grill and use
it in our picnic area. Dogs are welcome on a leash. Please allow atleast
1-2 hours for picking and the hayride. Red Haven
peaches will only be here for 2 weeks but we will continue to have sweet
juicy freestone peaches through the end of August, if not later.
Fruit Acres Farm Market is open with Our Own Sweet Juicy Red Haven Peaches that are good for eating, canning, freezing and baking. Prices for peaches range from $19.99 a 1/2 bushel with basket to $1.49 per pound. Our Own Sweet Eating Plums & Apricots ($4.99 quart), Our Own Sweet/Tart Pristine Eating Apples, Fresh Local Hand Picked Michigan Blueberries (10 pound box $19.99). The blueberries will be done very soon for the year so get yours not before they are all gone. The heat has made them ripen alot earlier than usual. Local Fresh Peaches & Cream Sweet Corn (Yumm) (6 ears for $2.49), Sweet Local Cantaloupe ($2.99 each), Red Ripe Tomatoes ($1.49 pound), Cherry, Grape & Salad Tomatoes, Hand Picked Green Beans ($1.99 pound),Yellow Wax Beans, Green Peppers, Colored Sweet Peppers, Eggplant, Leaf Lettuce, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Cucumbers, New Red and Yukon Gold Potatoes, fresh hot and mild peppers, and green cabbage (all Local Michigan). The farm market is open daily 10am to 7pm. 2010 is currently running about 2 weeks ahead of the normal Harvest Dates because of the warm spring weather we had. Peaches like lots of hot dry weather and we sure have had it this year lately.
Now for an update of the crops. Peaches are a good crop (about the same as 2009). Apples are not very plentiful on the trees. Plums have a great crop but are just barely starting. We are currently running about 10 days to 2 weeks ahead of a normal year, so adjust the harvest dates to an earlier schedule. NEW!! Please Take my Survey: Please help us to make Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick better suited for what you want!! NEW!! Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick will let you know when your favorite crops are getting close to ripening.

Annette and Randy Fruit Acres Farm Market has been operating since 1964 in Annette's family. The market has been owned and operated by Annette and Randy Bjorge since 1978 (except being leased out 1991-1998). The Farm Market has helped several college students with tuition over the years including Annette and Randy.
This

times a day. |
