Haslett

This Clearview Orchards is an orchard outside Haslett, near Lansing in Ingham County — a different, unrelated business from the better-known Clearview Orchards in Watsonville, California. No local website confirms current crops or hours, so a call ahead is the reliable move.

Flushing

Coyner's Blueberries has grown blueberries outside Flushing since 1949, a small family farm that still runs u-pick hours from 9am to 5pm, closed Wednesdays and Sundays. The Lawrence family, who've run the operation since 2001, stick to natural growing methods on what's a modest, single-crop farm — no corn maze, no petting zoo, just rows of bushes and a bucket. Call to check on ripeness before driving out.

Williamston

Gruber Raspberry Farm opens its rows to u-pickers in September and October, a later season than most Michigan berry farms. It's on Sherwood Road outside Williamston, a short drive from Lansing and Michigan State, and closes Sundays — call ahead to check picking hours before making the trip.

Williamston

Bestmaze has cut Michigan's best-known corn maze into a Williamston cornfield for more than two decades, an operation locals still know by its original name, Maze-n-Market. An underground drainage system keeps trails from turning to mud after rain, and after dark the property switches over to Trail of Terror, a haunted walk-through. The farm runs cash-only, with free supervised parking and no pets allowed on the grounds.

Hemlock

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.

Montrose

Montrose Orchards runs a working cider mill and U-pick orchard about 20 miles northwest of Flint, now in its third generation of family ownership. Pick your own apples, pears, strawberries, cherries, blueberries, or pumpkins, then stop at the bakery for cider and donuts from Debbie's Kitchen. The farm store also stocks jams, honey, maple syrup, and cherry juice, plus hayrides and a fall pumpkin patch.

Hemlock

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.

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.

Uncle John's Cider Mill is a five-generation family farm in Saint Johns, north of Lansing, built around fresh-pressed cider and donuts. The Pie Barn sells pies, jams, and cider slushies; the taproom pours hard cider, wine, and spirits Friday through Sunday. Kids can pan for gemstones, bounce on the jumping pillow, or walk the farm trail. Open May through December. Call (989) 224-3686.

Saginaw

Schantz's grows 15 blueberry varieties on 8 to 10 acres outside Saginaw, open daily 8am to 8pm through the season for u-pick or pre-picked berries. It's a family-run operation in a quiet country setting — they supply pails, though you're welcome to bring your own, and there's a portable restroom on-site for the length of a picking trip.

Blueberries Galore Farm sells u-pick and pre-picked blueberries on Gratiot Road in Saginaw, along with Michigan honey and a small line of blueberry products. Hours stretch long during peak season — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, shorter on Sunday — though the farm says hours shift with how much fruit the bushes are producing that week.

Wheeler

Poindexter Farms grows one crop and grows it well: U-pick strawberries on Harrison Road outside Wheeler, with a season that typically runs about three weeks in June. Weather shifts the exact dates year to year, so the farm posts current picking conditions on Facebook rather than a fixed calendar.

Saginaw

Saginaw Valley Sod Farm has grown Kentucky Bluegrass sod on Gratiot Road since 1970, using mineral soils and a 3D sod blend to produce a darker, denser lawn that needs less watering and mowing than standard turf. The farm also sells used lawn and farm equipment out of its Saginaw yard, and keeps weekday hours only, closing on weekends.

Hemlock

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.

Wolcott Orchard grows fruit on Coldwater Road near Mount Morris, Michigan, in Genesee County's orchard country north of Flint. No confirmed details on varieties or U-pick access are available online yet.

Argentine

Mueller's Orchard and Cider Mill has run continuously since the late 1880s, with the Mueller family at the helm since 1941 and now three generations deep on the highest point in Genesee County. The mill presses cider from hand-picked, in-season apples only — no drops — and bakes fresh donuts daily, including a seasonal pumpkin glaze in October. A remodeled barn adds ice cream and hot dogs, plus a corn maze and the Birchview Event Barn for private events.

Lansing

The Michigan Grape and Wine Industry Council is a state-funded promotional and research board, not a farm or market — it directs a share of Michigan's wine tax toward marketing and vineyard research for growers statewide, from the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas to the southwest wine trail. There's no tasting room at its Lansing mailing address; contact individual wineries for tours.

Fenton

LaFever Chestnuts has grown 350 chestnut trees across nearly 70 acres in Livingston County since 1997, making it one of the few U-pick chestnut farms in southeast Michigan. The harvest runs late September through early October, with staff on hand to show first-timers how to gather the nuts. The farm belongs to Chestnut Growers Inc., a 37-member cooperative of Michigan growers.

Lansing

Spencer Farm's listed address, 601 North Cedar Street, sits inside Lansing itself rather than in surrounding farmland — a sign this may be a market stand, mailing address, or small urban growing plot rather than a traditional farm. No further details are published.

Becks Cider Mill sold apples, tomatoes, pumpkins, and squash on West Maple Rapids Road near St. Johns, with a cider press and hayrides as part of the fall visit. Multiple grower directories now list the mill as permanently closed, so check before making the drive.

Fenton

Maison Rouge Vineyard grows Marquette and Itasca — cold-hardy wine grapes bred for Michigan winters — on O'Connell Road in Fenton. The woman-owned vineyard opens for U-pick on fall weekends, typically 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from late September into October, though hours shift with the crop, so checking Facebook before driving out is worth it.

Clio

Azure Acres is a small, family-run u-pick blueberry farm in Clio, open only during blueberry season — typically late July through Labor Day. Picking runs $3.10 a pound, and the family also sells pre-picked berries at the Davison Farmers Market on Saturdays during the same window. There's no farm store or bakery here, just a blueberry patch and a scale.

Fenton

Misty Meadow Lavender grows seven varieties of lavender on Hartland Road, opening the U-pick fields from May through August. The farm added U-pick sunflowers after opening in 2018. It sits off US-23 between Clyde and Center roads, a short detour for anyone driving north out of Fenton. Cash, Visa, and Mastercard are accepted on-site.

Grand Blanc

Simple Times Farm runs a working dairy, a community garden, and a farm market alongside its riding and boarding stables in Grand Blanc, just north of the Oakland County line. Youth riders compete through 4-H, PtHA, and APHA programs, and the farm adds a summer day camp for kids who want horse time without the competition circuit. Tours and public events run through the year on top of the boarding operation.

Apple Lane Orchard sells u-pick apples, fresh cider, pumpkins and squash on North Center Road in Flint, along with baked goods from a local Amish bakery. A pumpkin patch runs in fall, and Christmas trees are cut later in the season, so the farm stays open well past a typical cider mill's closing date. It's a straightforward stop for cider and baked goods, not an attractions-heavy destination.

Holly

Mitchell Farm has worked the same 300 acres in Holly since 1838, growing soybeans, wheat, and corn as its main commercial crops. The farm market sells spring annuals, fall pumpkins from a u-pick patch, fresh donuts, and cider, with hayrides added for school groups each October. The market runs May through June and mid-September through October 31, daily from 10am to 6pm.
