Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick Sweet Cherries, Peaches & Apples, Pick a Michigan Peach Tree

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 November 9, 2011 The season at Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick is over. Thank you very very much for a great season. My goal this winter is to get twitter & facebook to work properly for the business.

We will re-open in June 2012 with Fresh Local Strawberries. Right now Fruit Acres Farms has a adequate amount of rain and temperatures to produce a wonderful crop of fruit for 2012. We will let you know if anything changes in the winter or spring.

What do Annette & Randy do during the winter? Annette does paperwork, taxes, and computer work to catch up from the last several months. Randy and his helpers fix all the equipment that broke during the season, clean up the farm for the winter rest, figure out what we are planting in the spring, and in December will start trimming apple and cherry trees. We both attend farmer conventions during the winter, in December we will be at Grand Rapids, Michigan for the Great Lakes Expo. We do not have plans for vacation in Bonaire to go Scuba Diving . It has been 3 years since we were diving and that is the longest we have ever gone. Because of the recession we are going cheap, but it is important for everyone to get away sometime. We look forward to a very relaxing winter.

Gas in Michigan is currently $3.49 gallon.
