I took off work just so I could arrive at the farm just after opening today and there were many people picking strawberries only 10 - 15 minutes after opening. You pick strawberries at $2.99/lb - how can you go wrong? It took me about 35 - 45 minutes to fill my flat. Strawberries were plentiful. I must have been in the area of the parcel that had been picked before as the size of the berries seemed smaller than what I had hoped for. My thoughts were confirmed when I was at the checkout building as the gentlemen in the line next to me had huge Jewel strawberries that were gigantic compared to what I was able to pick. Oh well, these berries will taste just fine in a pie, on shortcake, over ice cream or cheesecake, in bread, muffins, or scones, just to name a few.

It is a picturesque place that looks like paradise on Earth. On site is the Olde 1884 Church, which has this amazing rustic feel. We had our evening cocktails and hors d'oeuvres there. It was wonderful to enjoy our time there, look at the beautiful view and chat with friends and coworkers. The church really is impressive and made me think, if i get married, maybe this would be a good place to do it? After cocktails, we walked through the vinyard into this impressively large barn. The barn has lighting, and looks to be a great place to have a company event, a party, or reception. The decorations for the event were harvest themed, were tasteful and classy. The meal was absolutely out of this world! It was high end, but still had that rustic theme to it. It was composed of the following: 1) Cast Iron Bread. Olive oil cast iron finished scratch farm bread, smoked maldon salt, and whipped maple butter. 2) Shared Legacy Farms Field Greens. Wild field greens, pickled Macqueen Peaches, fancy ranch, buttermilk blue, and smoked bacon 3) Blackberry Beef. Grass-fed beef tenderloin, syrupy blistered blackberries, peaches and red wine jus, farm beets roasted over coals, and fresh ricotta whipped with honey 4) Malted Chocolate Cake. Malted double chocolate cake, cherry creme fraiche, crushed maltesers, and farm mint. I did enjoy the fact they had beets. I joked with some friends about coming to the farm, wondering if it would be like Schrute Farms from the tv show, The Office. When beets was served, I had to share that with my friends. This farm of course is way nicer than the farm on the tv show. But, I had to add this because it was a funny happenstance. That said the food was delectable. The whole time we were eating, a live band played, as we spent more time with our coworkers. It was a magical night, and I truly loved every moment in Lincoln Ridge Farms. In reviewing their website after the event, they do have farmers markers here and pumpkin patches. I may return another day with the family. Lincoln Ridge Farms is amazing! Anyone in the area, should come!

MacQueen's is a local business that has been around for years and not only do they offer pick your own apples and pumpkins, they have a nice produce selection, jam & jelly room, bakery (nothing better than warm donuts this time of year), cider mill where you can watch the bottling process, and a room full of Christmas decor. Staff is friendly and helpful even when they have a ton of people meandering about. Prices are fair for the quality of product and as I mentioned previously, their warm donuts are a hit! We will be back...

I'm glad we came earlier in the season because there was plenty of fruit to pick from! Why I'm giving this place 3 stars: - There was a hole in the wagon wheel, in my opinion, someone should be keeping up with small maintenance things like that since the season is about to be in full swing. - The older ladies who were working outside made me uncomfortable as I was walking passed an empty booth and were not very friendly about the fact that I didn't know about a blue ticket I was supposed to have (my dad was the one who paid to get the apples and was walking in behind me). I would have been understanding but they were just judgmental and condescending about it. If it's such a big deal someone should be at that booth ready to check tickets if they know people are driving up.... -Donuts were nothing special but they do have A LOT of yummy looking choices -Really good selection of apples but horrible signage. There is a map but you have to take a picture or study it really well or you'll have no idea what you're picking. -If you have a hard time walking, this is probably not the place for you. Overall, there was a super sweet girl working the bakery. There's a corn maze that looks fun and plenty of pumpkins to choose from so it's not my favorite place but I might be back for the maze.

I've been strawberry picking locally for decades at another farm nearby. However, this year they…read moreweren't open for picking so, craving the best part of a Michigan summer, I went to Yelp and searched and found Honey Bee. AND it was SO close to my house! I immediately went to their website and was thrilled to find out that they were currently offering picking from 10-7pm pretty much every day of the week. Hooray! So, this past weekend, I made my way over there. Long story short, I had a great experience! They have 12 varieties of strawberries that vary in size, ripening rates, and levels of sweetness. U-pick stretches out in rows over 3 acres so they've got alotta strawberries, my friends! The person running the u-pick explained that the strawberries in the rows next to the barn were bigger but more tart and the rows further from the barn were smaller but sweeter. I picked a little from both and in the end wish I had stuck to the smaller but sweeter, though they were all delicious! I just happen to have more of a sweet tooth. Despite the heat I managed to pick a full bucket, just under 6lbs. Berries are priced at $6lb and they do not take credit but you can pay via mobile with their venmo or paypal. They also take cash and checks. A few logistical things: the u-pick farm is owned and operated by local farmer's market mainstay, Tantre Farms. It's a no spray/pesticide free farm which means there are some weeds and tall grasses around. Some of the weeds are spikey thistle. They're easy to avoid but, because most people avoid them, I found a plethora of beautiful ripe berries around them. So it might not hurt to bring some gloves if you're like me and don't mind working a little harder for the good stuff. And because it can get muddy and there are other weeds and things in the rows wearing comfortable, close-toed shoes (that you don't mind getting dirty) are recommended. My only quibble is that I wish the containers for picking were the cardboard flats and not the plastic buckets with bags.The plastic bags don't allow for the air circulation you need to keep them fresher longer and in transferring them to another container I found I had smushed more than a few. Also, piling them all into the bucket puts weight on the ones at the bottom of the bucket/bag so they're smushed there, too. A small quibble but one they'll consider having the flats as an option. But of course if you're buying a large volume for jam making they're all gonna get smushed anyway sooooo.... Anyway, I'm not sure how much longer they have left in the season so if you're reading this around the time that it was posted I'd check their website for picking updates. They also offer raspberry picking so if you miss your strawberry window you might be able to scoop some of those up instead!

The whole family headed down that way recently to take advantage of the in-season fruit. It was our first time visiting Honey Bee, and we can't wait to return. After grabbing a bucket, we sauntered through the small bushes and picking ripe red berries. After we had picked everything that we could fit into the bucket, we headed back to the barn and grabbed some pre-picked vegetables to go with everything. Finn the dog welcomed us and let us pat his belly before we headed out. The berries were wonderful - so sweet and unlike anything you'll find in a store. Definitely worth a trip!

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!
