All these dates are approximate and every year will be different. After bloom in Michigan I will post a update every few weeks in this spot to let you know how this season is progressing.

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.

Sweet Juicy Peaches for your pickingGas in Michigan is currently $2.83 gallon. Come over and Fill Up!

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.
