We stopped in for the Frostbite trail event and found some of the best ciders I've ever had. Got the flight of 5 and couldn't pick the best one! Might have enjoyed the pear the most just for its unique blend of sweet and tart flavors. We usually only stop to pick berries, now we have a whole new reason to make the trip! read more

I have reviewed this place before because our cottage is located only a few miles away, and I have been going there for years. This is a great stop for anyone who wants whatever is fresh in season. The gamut runs from early asparagus through to fall apples and some of the best fresh picked corn around! They also have an incredible selection of baked goods (the fresh donuts are a must for me). They also have pies and fresh juice and cider, as well as locally made spices, and other pantry items. read more

We were driving from Mackinaw Island to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore when we stumbled upon King Orchards' road-side market and bakery. The orchard also offers U-pick berries and orchard fruits but we didn't have time on our travel day. My husband, who was driving, was most interested in getting a strong caffeinated coffee and a bakery item, while I mostly wanted to browse. We ended up being enticed by a table with fresh discounted bakery items -- including an apple pie and croissants. We relaxed with a delicious slice of pie at a table in front, along with coffee and an apple cider "icee" before continuing on our journey. The small shop was cozy and well laid out and the two women in the shop were very friendly. read more

We bought great fresh fruit and vegetables but the worst cherry pie we've ever had. For $18 it would be nice to have a few cherries in a cherry pie. Seriously, it was like someone took a can of cherry juice and stirred in some cornstarch and called it a pie. And this is in the heart of cherry country! Gross. read more

Nothing has changed since our last visit and THATS A GOOD THING. Great place to shop for fruit and fruit made products. I really enjoy the YOU PICK DONUTS. See you again next fall. read more

Love their sweet cherries, tart cherries, apricots, and plums! It's about $8-$8.50 for a small quart of apricots or plums so a little expensive but very good. People are super friendly. They also had some wine, baked goods including great looking cherry pies, donuts, and other items if you're interested. read more

King Orchard was one of the best orchards I've ever been too. The shop had plenty of variety of goods to choose from at reasonable prices. The fresh donuts make the trip here worth it by itself. Best donut I've ever eaten. Warm cider only enhanced the fun experience picking raspberries and apples. The people were very nice and friendly. The whole orchard looks so lovely. Very nice place read more

My favorite little barn store! They have the best frozen apple cider around for $4. I go every time I'm in town. They're also the most reasonable and affordable prices around compared to the other local barns around. It's smaller than others but they have tons. I always find good gifts for family and something yummy for myself. The staff is friendly and the inside is warm and homey in the best way. read more

We were on our way home from Mackinac Island and I kept bugging hubby to go apple picking so we made a pit stop here and I am so glad we did. I was so excited that there were so many honey crisp apples (my favorite) ready to be picked. The more you pick the cheaper they are per pound. The apples were great--crisp and a tad tart. We also picked some raspberries but they ended up being really sour. Try the apple cider and apple donuts (you won't regret it). We had to wait for a fresh batch of donuts since they were so popular. read more

So glad we stopped by! Pies were fantastic (and affordable) and teenagers enjoy fruit picking.

AMAZING!! The cutest farm, we went cherry and raspberry picking and both fruits were perfectly ripe and sweet. We also got some cinnamon bread, donuts, zucchini, and pie- all fantastic. read more

Very friendly , delicious fruit, affordable prices. Would highly recommend for U-Pick

King Orchards is a great family operation with wonderful people who work for them. We like to give our business to all the local orchards, and we do. But we do make sure to go to King's for apples, cherries, various vegetables, and especially corn recently. It's all delicious. And the people are all friendly and helpful. Be sure to stop in when you're in the area! read more

This place is amazing for both kids and adults! We took our 14 month old and 2.5 year old here and not only did they have a blast picking fruit, king orchards also has a fun play area for kids that kept them entertained for such a long time! Couldn't recommend this place more and I already can't wait to come back! Oh, and the fruit is delicious and the small store on site has so much to choose from! read more

We had an amazing time picking strawberries and they are so delicious U pick em 2 different varieties and so sweet a little higher on price than explained but the taste made them well worth it. read more

I got 4 honey sticks and a pumpkin roll last time I went [the end of march] and it was all very good! The pumpkin roll tasted amazing, it was nice and soft, I would definitely buy again. The honey sticks just tasted like honey, since it is haha. The service is nice, we know most people that work there so we just talk well checking everything out. The smell in there is amazing since they have all the good smelling soaps, plus fresh apples. They have a ton of nice stuff. I would definitely say go check it out! read more

This orchard has exposed my family to harmful chemicals TWICE in the past 4 years by applying chemicals in an unsafe, irresponsible manner, ignoring product label warnings in direct violation of the law. Reported to MDARD, both reported incidents verified by MDARD as violations of the law with enforcement actions taken. Our properties do not touch (over a football field away) yet samples taken inside our home tested positive for their chemicals in 2017. Chemical drift crossed Church Rd in April 2021. Vegetation samples across road positive. Too bad nobody warned the public that area was unsafe for people & pets to access for 24 hours following spray. KNOW YOUR FARMERS!! read more

We always have the best time at King's. Their produce is delicious, baked goods and bread (especially the sunflower bread) are the best treats! We have a great time throughout the season as a family picking berries, cherries and apples. I am especially appreciative that they're keeping the health and safety of their customers' safety in high regard during this health crisis. read more

Always a wonderful experience! Great produce and baked goods, and they have made nice updates to keep customers safe. Can't wait to return!

Always get a friendly greeting when I walk in, best place to buy doughnuts and cider.

I always stop in when visiting the Elk Rapids area. The scones from the bakery are delicious. I really enjoy the cherry jam that does not have sugar added. They also have a cherry vinaigrette salad dressing which is very good. read more

Very fun place for "U-pick" fruits. Honeycrisp were ripe when we went, and there was plenty to pick from. Nice selection of farm made jams, butters, juice concentrates, etc. Labeling of rows was a tad unclear. One of the workers mentioned how excited she was for spies (spies for pies!), but we couldn't find any rows labeled as spies so we grabbed a couple that we thought were spies...and they weren't. Meh our fault really, but because she mentioned them we thought they were ready for picking. read more

Our first time there and the lady who instructed us on where/ how to pick berries was very informative and hilarious. We had 4 kids with us who were very capable of picking their own. They had sunflowers which the kids loved. Decent priced fruit. They also had samples. The donuts were great too! read more

Got a Apple Pie here and it was great . The crust was flaky and the apples were crisp. I have to say the pies were priced right unlike some of the other local orchards .. no price gouging here .. just a solid pie like grandpa made .. read more

Everyone super nice and super friendly!!!! Must do with the family! Apples ..... honey crisp and Gala are super good!

I love this orchard. This has become a yearly stop for my family while we are up north. The cherries are the best. The little store is nice as well if you are in a grab and go mood. read more

Finding tart cherries outside of Michigan is a little bit like trying to find a four-leaf clover. It rarely happens, unless you're a restaurant or bakery getting them from a distributor in bulk. I am neither, but I do insist on using tart cherries in pies. I've ordered both canned cherries and IQF cherries from King Orchards, and they are high-quality. If you can, get someone else to order with you and split the shipping costs! The cherries are so worth it. read more

King Orchards in Central Lake Michigan has the freshest chocolate tart cherry's I have ever had, could not stop eating them. Also the Balaton Cherry Salsa is the best, mexican taste with a cherry bang. Overall the orchard was very clean and the staff pleasant. Great Find! read more

a delightful accident on the way to shorts. what a find. first, the produce was cheap, i mean really cheap. we bought at some of the stands on 31 and 71 and they weren't nearly as cheap. the nectarines and apricots we got were a dessert by themselves. the raspberry cherry mini pie was even better. if i lived here, i would love to stop by every week. love, juston read more

So worth the trip!!! Voted one of the best in the nation! So glad I stumbled upon this place years ago. Such awesome prices!

The best sweet black cherries! It's a fun trip for U-pick. I go later in the season for apples, pumpkins and squash. Their pies are wonderful, too. read more

These folks have the best cherry concentrate out there. Picking apples and pumpkins in the Fall while drinking cider is also a bonus. Love this family farm. read more
