Our fruitstand at the M-88 farm in Central Lake is open year-round. Our Kewadin market, on US-31 (9 miles north of Elk Rapids) is open from Memorial Day Weekend through November: Monday through Saturday 9 am til 6pm; Sunday 12:30 til 6.

We have apples right up until Christmas, even after the fruitstand officially closes for the season.

We are located on M-88 a little over 3 miles east of US-31 near Central Lake, Michigan. Complete maps and directions are on the map page.

All dates for the fruitstand are, of course, approximate. For the latest information about what is being picked now and what is coming next to the fruitstand, check our Orchard Talk Blog.
