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 11, 2009 The season at Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick is over. Thank you very very much for a great 2009 season. If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to fill out my survey below. Thank you so much for wonderful comments already posted.

We will re-open in June 2010 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 2010. 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, and in February we will be in Hershey, Pennsylvania and Ontario Canada for more conventions. We do not have any plans for vacation this year though, the recession has hit everyone. But we still look forward to a very relaxing winter.

Gas in Michigan is currently $2.69 gallon.
