You can camp over night if you are interested, rent out the patio or party room if you desire. The food was tasty (a bit expensive). I had one of their wood stove pizzas, absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend stopping and enjoying all that the farm has to offer.

Loved buying various apple varieties for sale, a blueberry scone and cherry turnover and a bag of frozen tart cherries to make a cherry crunch pie.

A perfect stop between Traverse City and Mackinaw City, this charming, cozy, epicenter of hospitality has so much to offer. The market has a fun selection of locally-curated items to its own homemade pies, soups, salad, and in-season produce. The Tasting Room is a comfy spot, appointed with more tchotckes, nibbles, a fireplace, and an array of respectable wines and ciders to try. You can stroll around the grounds, see the scenic views, and relax over a flight of unique and tasty beverages. Most definitely a must-visit stop!

On our latest visit while they were out of bottles of my favorite cider, which is the hard red, a combination of apple and cherry it was still on draft so we enjoyed a flight of four and hiked up the short hill to enjoy the scenic overlook that is waiting for you. Everything we tried in our flight was delicious and we ended up with bottles of everything to bring home. My personal favorites were of course the hard red but also the cheeky cherry, which is a sweet cherry wine and the botanical which is a semi sweet pear tasting cider. Service is always friendly and accommodating. On our way out, we visited the farm shop and picked up some cheeses and a apple cider donut for the road. Cheers!

I liked that a lot of the produce was local, but it did seem to be on the expensive side. Nonetheless, I did get several kinds of beans, some beautiful Swiss chard (well, it was beautiful before it sat in my car trunk for a day), pickles (which I will use as cucumbers), zucchini, and apple salsa. The staff seemed very friendly, and from what I overheard, they were apparently starting a new program for seniors and they were patiently explaining to people how it worked.

For the store: I was impressed with their produce selection and that it is all organic. That is something I value in my everyday grocery shopping so it was a pleasant surprise. I also loved the other items they sold such as the cinnamon graham crackers from the sourdough project, sauerkraut, different cheeses, MASA chips, pickles, body balms, chips, and more. The restroom was also very clean. For the cafe: We went for breakfast two times and everything we ordered was very good and seemed liked they used fresh and good quality ingredients. My kids devoured the yogurt bowls. My only criticism would be that they only had two egg options and both were frittatas. It would have been nice to have another egg option that's not a frittata, even if it's just scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage. I don't know how often they change their menu, so maybe they have more variety. Between all my visits there, I ordered 3 different coffee drinks and they were very good. I would stop in there just for coffee. The smoothies also looked really good. We snagged one of the chocolate chip cookies and it was seriously one of the best cookies I have had. It was baked perfectly and had the right amount of chocolate chips. All of the staff we interacted with were very nice and patient. They had a nice outside area with a flower garden you can walk through and toy tractors for the kids to play with. This is a gem and I'm going to be so sad when we leave!

We always leave with a bag filled with our favorites and something new to try. We have given the gift boxes for holiday gifts in the past - they are beautifully packaged.

The cherry chicken salad is my fave! The ice cream is fantastic, too - we often stop multiple times during our vacation week.

The "Loaded Lug", "cherry bomb ranch", and the basket of fries with the "cherry BBQ spice" all disappointed in terms of their cherry flavor. The food was otherwise tasty, but we were left confused about the cherry part. The ice cream on the other hand is a notch up, as long as you're into a sweet cherry taste. Would highly recommend getting a scoop or two (pictured), especially for the price (the second scoop is only like $0.40 more!). Overall, beautiful property and a lively atmosphere, but just disappointed with the food.
