First time going and it was nice. Small, but not overcrowded. They have limited food options but…read morethe food was good and reasonably priced. I wish they had a better system for the lines to get donuts & cider. It seems that they were understaffed in that area. I enjoyed the wine slushy, which was like a fruity sangria topped with white wine. Also, the fries were well seasoned and good. A wristband is required to participate in all the activities, including the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch, corn maze and other activities for the kids. They have bags for apples which were reasonably priced. Overall, we enjoyed our time and the weather was perfect that day.

Took my parents here recently on a Tuesday afternoon for apply picking and we had such a a great time. You buy your tickets at the front. The staff are always friendly, they kindly explain all the prices and any other questions that we have. We were told where to wait for the ride/tractor to the apple field. Didn't take long at all! The driver that day was the sweetest lady! She was informative and told us which apple was her favorite and what to look out for. Going to any orchard can be pricey but Westview is worth it! They keep this place tidy and fun for all visitors.. already made plans with a few other friends so I'll will be back in a few days (they also have best cornmaze btw). Highly recommend Westview!

My family has been going to this orchard for years. Every fall we would make a picnic out of apple…read morepicking. Yoder's is one of the only drive in orchard in the area. Stopping at the store shed, we would pick up our empty baskets, and head to the back of the orchard. We would enjoy our picnic among the hills, trees, and birds. It is a very peaceful, meadow like space. Our annual event spanned generations to include my children and my sister's children. Although my sons are grown, they still enjoy going to Yoder's, eating the apples, and playing football in the fields. The apples are always so fresh and deliciously crisp. The end result of homemade applesauce for the holidays is still a greatly anticipated treat for my family. Last year (2017), we discovered Yoder's has a new owner. He was every bit as nice and friendly as the previous owners were. Since it is Spy season right now, this weekend we will be in the orchards once again. This is one of my family's cherished traditions and one of our places.

When I was little, we used to go to the apple orchard every fall... we would pick apples, stuff our…read morefaces with the fresh fruit, and go home with bushels of apples for canning. I still love going to the orchard every fall and I like to take my dog with me... but I hate the rat race of the big money-making orchards that have turned into circuses. I get that their season is short and they have to make the most of the fall by drawing as many people as possible (hence the pumpkin patches, the petting zoos, the face painting, the giant balloon moonwalks... and the impossible parking and insanely long lines that go with all of it), but that stuff drives me crazy. I love the chirping birds and the bees buzzing around fallen apples. I love not having to walk a half mile to get from my car to the orchard, I love not waiting in impossible lines, and I love not paying inflated prices so as to cover the expense of all the clowns, animal handlers, etc. So, for my third year in a row I have gone to Yoder's. I love it. It's easy to miss, but it is just south of Blakes on M-53/Van Dyke. Just stop at the entrance, pick up a bag/bushel from Ron (who sits in his truck and waits for people to pull up), then drive off beyond the road into acres and acres of quiet, still orchard where you can pick apples, relax, let Fido run around free, and enjoy picking apples w/o the lines, the fuss, or the $$$. If you are looking for all that rig-a-marole, DO NOT go to Yoder's---they don't have it... hell, they don't have cider, or donuts, or caramel apples (and they only take cash or check). But there are plenty of places where you *can* get those things, and not nearly enough places where you can get pick-your-own apples without all the fuss. I'll keep going back to this orchard every year.

They stopped taking orders at a certain point so I imagine they must have run low on filling and this resulted in under-filled pies that didn't have the best presentation.

I had the backyard chicken sandwich which was good it said honey mustard, kind of more a brown honey mustard, I'm not a big brown mustard fan but it was still tasty.

I stopped here too, today Tuesday August 15th…read more My main purchase was sweet corn. Now this location was $0.25 cheaper = $4.75 a dozen. This farm business had more white corn to choose from and the bi-color + also yellow. I bought 6 White and 6 Bi-Color to make my dozen. After parking, are large wagons carts already sorted with colored corn to bag up faster. Then pay inside and/or shop also for vegetables and FRUIT. Everything is arranged very nicely, labeled properly with signs to read prices. I bought 3 nectarines the size of a softball at $1.29# I will try and if they're juicy and sweet, then I'll come back for more. There are some summer help "students" working along with 2 old time sisters.. Owner Virginia is 84 and sister Marianne is 82. Both of them work here to keep busy with their "senior peppy energy" since it's their family business! I did not get their names, shame on me, but I will have to go back and buy some more delicious corn. I had one of each color for dinner today and it was perfect and did not need any salt because it was sweet enough. The history of this farm goes back many years since 1926 , see my photo with the sign to prove. Also do the math it's 92 years old. Its a very well-kept farm with competitive pricing and fresh produce. I have in the past bought 2 or 3 beautiful, full size hanging baskets with 6 different plants in pot at lower prices than English Gardens, or Weigands. Shhhh Again I look foward also at the end of July and the month of August to buy from this location. Clap your hands, Thumbs up for these Farmers, that are still working hard over many years, down the line carrying on the growing farm tradition and their family business name. Let's support your neighbor, the farmers that I've been here way before any other residents in this crazy busy city of Macomb Township. I am happy to drive up, stop and shop to support them! ;)

I came back again today for some pumpkins for my porch. As soon as I walked in, the employee greeted me with a smile and commented on my sleeping toddler. All the pumpkins, flowers, and other decor were great quality and extremely reasonably priced. I ended up with 6 mid-sized pumpkins for $22, plus a free mini one that she gifted to my son. There were also a few spots set up for photos, and ample parking even once it started to get busier. Overall, this continues to be a great spot and we will be back again for Christmas!

You can just wander around on foot or drive out to a specific area. Some of the trees are covered by nets to keep the birds out (I assume), so it takes some doing to get to the grapes. It is a good idea to take some clippers and a container (I took plastic bags & a clipper I'd gotten from a dollar store), but they do have them if you've forgotten them. There are also a couple apple trees. I'm not sure if those are meant to be picked or not; the only people I saw doing that were families with small children. Their prices are very reasonable and the grapes are a totally different breed from what you get at a grocery store. Once you taste these, you'll never be excited by what stores have again.
