And no regular bathroom, only an outhouse. But you can eat in your car or at home! Their cider donuts are so delicious but most of all, they have the best apples! We like all of them but particularly Golden Delicious! Their apple cider is also very refreshing! They have good plums too. I highly recommend this place and it's not too far of a drive either! Wasem's is the best!

The yield on the trees was abundant and I picked a good 5lbs (the minimum, FYI) and they were SO delicious! I took them home to process and turn into tart cherry jam, a jar of which got swirled into some homemade vanilla ice cream with an oat crisp, making it the most delicious cherry pie a la mode flavored ice cream! They also had an great crop of gooseberries and black currant when I was there. Red currant was on the horizon as were raspberries. Unfortunately they're probably done picking now but in just a few weeks we'll likely have another round of raspberries and, of course, delicious apples (and cider and donuts, natch!). Visiting here, no matter the season, is just a joy. I'm so grateful we've got them around for all our upick needs!

They have someone do it, and that person has a habit of grabbing the apples with his fingernails which cuts into the apples. ALL of the apples. This happened over two seasons. Several people I know have had this same issue. A group of about 10 people left the line when they noticed it happening. I would love to make this go-to orchard but because of this hygiene issue, I just can't. And in case you wonder-they've been told it's an issue. They don't care I guess.

The cider, the donuts and the staff did a great job. We took our food and drink purchases to the town green and ate and drank at the village gazebo, which was covered, yet empty. I suspect most people took their purchases back home. Our hosts and we guests have always loved Dexter for a relaxing shopping day. This year was no exception. The green itself is anchored by a historic statue and war memorial. Please visit the town when stopping by the cider mill. It is a pleasant experience, no matter the weather.

We decided to grab some cider and donuts first. While there were plenty of staff, no one acknowledged us... just kind is stared.

Donuts- huge disappointment that they were not fresh. The animal farm- little piglets, goat and ducks. The wagon ride- the driver was so engaged and friendly. He definitely made the visit better.

I love this apple orchard. It is a hidden gem tucked away on a side road near saline. A lot of…read moreapple orchards are overly commercial, overly crowded and overly manicured (paved roads, neat signs, orderly rows etc). If you want a silly theme park feeling (hay rides and cider and all that) this will not be the orchard for you. If you prefer something a little closer to what a Michigan Orchard is and was, you will love it here. This place is a little older, a little wilder and far less crowded than most UPick Orchards, giving is a "secret garden" kind of feel. I love that you can wander through the orchard without tripping over people and that you can experiment with an assortment of apples of all shapes sizes and flavors (who cares what it is called, take a bite, find out and if you are curious ask Bill and he will tell you all about it). This orchard has more varieties of apples than I have ever seen before including rare heritage breeds (Wolf River, and Snow Apple for example) and some of the newer apples that we are all familiar with (no Gala yet, but I think they are coming), he also has a few Quince and Asian Pear trees. Upick apples are $8 a half peck. They keep the spray to a minimum, so these apples look a little less pretty than normal, but are probably better for you. He also has honey and will sell apples by the tree - you buy the rights to an entire apple tree at the beginning of the year and reap the rewards come fall (great for gifts!). Also, for people interested in picking apples this year - they have arrived early this year all across MI and Ontario, so you better get out there soon, or there may be none left!

When we first arrived at the barn on Macon Road, I stepped out of the car to ask for instructions…read more The woman tending the barn was engaged in a personal conversation, and I politely interrupted to ask if this is the location where we would be picking. She seemed slightly annoyed, and said yes, and that she would be with us "shortly." After another two minutes had passed and we had already gotten my 18 month old daughter out of her car seat, we were eventually told that we needed to drive another mile down the road to pick. Not off to a great start... Upon arriving in the orchard, there were no employees or signs to guide us or explain any of the available apple varieties. I found it interesting that the few other customers we saw already had standard orchard bags, which apparently had not been offered to us at the barn. The actual picking was not good either, as many of the apples were very high up and out of reach. After some time we were able to accumulate a fair amount of apples, however, and drove back to the barn to pay. The woman who had so pleasantly greeted us earlier then seemed confused as to why we did not have one of the proprietary half-bushel bags, When I calmly said I didn't think a bag had been offered, she not only criticized me for not listening, but raised her voice and demanded that we pay $20 for an entire bushel. When I suggested we transfer the apples from my bag to one of her standard bags, she was resistant and outright disrespectful. I have never witnessed such poor customer service at another apple orchard, or any self-respecting business for that matter. All of these problems could likely have been avoided with a few simple signs to provide direction, which would be much more efficient than relying on verbal communication. That being said, my family will never return to this orchard due to the blatant lack of respect with which we were treated.

They were doing a small artisan-type festival and we bought some children's books which look cute. They have a whole store you can go into or if you just want donuts and cider, you can do the grab and go area instead. If you want to go to their play area with slides etc it's $5, that also gets you admission into the u-pick area and then on top of that you pay for what you pick. We bought an apple pie, some fudge, donuts (cinnamon and plain, they also have pumpkin and gluten-free and some cherry one today), cider, and cider slushees for the car ride home. I had a slight problem - the straw poked through the cup and slushee went EVERYWHERE, so I'd recommend they maybe get thicker cups or not as pokey straws. They do have regular bathrooms here (as well as a port-a-potties) but they were a little messy. Overall I'd come back here though, they had a lot of tasty-looking treats and a cute venue.
