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!

My family has toured metro Detroit's cider mills; unfortunately, the cider at this location tasted more like apple juice, but was redeemed by the donuts, which had small apple chunks in them. No bathrooms on site except an accessible Porta john. The cashier had extreme difficulty checking out customers and selecting items, but was friendly and made good conversation despite. The parking situation is unfriendly to those in wheelchairs or crutches; a large gravel lot, which becomes grass closer to the building, has no marked handicapped parking, hence my hesitation to give it 4 or 5 stars. Otherwise, it was relatively busy maintaining around 20 to 25 people inside at any given time, so clearly this place is well liked.

When you arrive there is plenty of parking. You will need something to take your blue berries home in. I recommend bringing a pail. They have pails there to borrow, but you still need a way to take them home, so it makes more sense to bring your own. They will weigh your pail before you begin picking and then you can head out. It's very organized and easy to navigate. Pick as many berries as your heart desires. And then then You take your harvest to be weighed. They take off the weight of your pail before the berries and you pay accordingly. It's soooo much more affordable than buying blueberries at the store. They are delicious and it's a great experience!

They also include U-pick options as part of their CSA, however, we live an hour away and we're only able to visit once for a U-Pick. The produce selection is wide and each week, we had lots of different vegetables, including root veggies, lettuces, and cruciferous veg. We picked ours up from a local store in Plymouth made possible thanks to an awesome volunteer. The vegetables were some of the most delicious I've ever had, very fresh, maybe wonky shaped, but so delicious and without pesticides. Tantre Farms also offers an Immune Booster CSA which is curated weekly and features items from other local farms and businesses, an extended fall CSA, and a Thanksgiving CSA.

For that reason, I signed up for the full summer CSA, and have just received my first shipment. The produce is so beautiful and so fresh! It makes such a difference to buy produce direct from the farmer. Here's what I got this week: Arugula: Not something I normally buy, but this is another reason to get a CSA. It's so important to eat a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Asparagus: Some of the best asparagus I've ever had! So much better than what you get at the supermarket. Red Ace Beets: Again, not something I would normally buy. I'm going to roast these with the radishes in the box. Green Garlic: I am so excited to try this, as I love garlic. I'm making a stir-fry with the beautiful napa cabbage and bok choy in the box, and I'll add the green garlic. I am excited to see what will be coming in the weeks ahead.

I wish I could have taken one of the medium (12-15 in) silver/grey pumpkins back with me (too large for my carry-on). I have never seen that color before. Instead I grabbed one of their $3 green/orange pumpkins for my office desk. Staff is super nice and parking is easy on the grass that is either side of their gravel driveway.
