Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Hemlock, MI

Hemlock

Backwoods Blueberries grows five blueberry varieties across a 20-acre patch on Ederer Road in Hemlock. U-pick runs mid-July through mid-August, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at $2.50 a pound. Berries here store well frozen for a year or more, according to the farm's own site — useful if you're picking enough for winter baking, not just a weekend snack.

Brenske's Blueberries opens its rows for U-pick blueberries southwest of Hemlock, between Brennan and Iva roads. Mornings are the better time to go, before the summer heat sets in over the field. It's a small, seasonal operation with a modest following on Facebook.

Gary and Lynne Jacques grow more than twenty apple varieties on their family orchard outside Hemlock, including HoneyCrisp and EverCrisp alongside older standbys. The picking season runs long for Michigan — apples from July through November, with peaches, pears, and plums filling out the rest of the calendar. It's a small operation by design, run by the family that plants and prunes the trees itself.

Strawberry Fields Farm operates out of Hemlock, a farm town in Saginaw County's mid-Michigan flatlands. As the name suggests, strawberries are the draw, though picking hours and season dates aren't published online — worth a call before you head out.

The Berry Patch is a produce farm in Hemlock, the same Saginaw County farm town as several other small u-pick operations in mid-Michigan. Berries are the presumed draw, given the name, though no picking calendar or hours are posted online — call ahead.
