Call ahead before driving out, since availability depends on what's ripe.

Dexter

The City of Dexter Community Garden at 7651 Dan Hoey Road offers garden plots and raised beds for planting vegetables and flowers — assigned first come, first served to city residents each spring, then opened to anyone in the Dexter School District. Plots regularly sell out, with a waitlist for hopeful gardeners.

Dexter

Berry Hill Farm closed for good in April 2026, after Jim and Nancy Jedele ran it in Dexter for nearly 40 years starting in 1986. It was known for u-pick red raspberries in the fall, plus pre-picked apples, pumpkins, gourds, and squash. Jedele's farewell post said the farm almost made it to 40 years — a run that outlasted most of the u-pick farms that opened around it.

Homegrown Family Produce names its focus directly — produce — but no city, website, or contact listing could be confirmed for the Michigan operation during research. Location and current offerings remain unverified.

The fall pumpkin patch runs weekends with free hayrides, and the farm's grains supply Detroit's Two James Spirits distillery.
