The people that worked there were so nice, helpful, and just great at their job! P.S. The prices were very cheap

We were looking for an apple picking place on the Traverse City peninsula this October. Most of the…read moreorchards seem like they were vineyards and not a u-pick type of establishment. One orchard owner recommended Shangri-La Too. It's in the middle of the peninsula and it is easy to pass by; we did a few times. There is a big white residential house with farm of apple trees behind it (but it looks smaller than the massive farms around it) and a barn/shed off to the side. There was a small square sign (similar to a political campaign sign) that says u-pick and a little larger permanent rectangular Shangri-La Too sign in front of the house. There wasn't anybody outside or any sign of apple pickers, but we rang the door bell and Louis came out to explain how everything worked. He was very nice. Unfortunately, due to hail on the peninsula, the apples were badly damaged. So Louis gave half of the price for each box of apples we picked. He directed us to the specific apple trees we wanted and went back in. We picked several boxes of different types of apples, including my favorite Fujis! We are currently going through the last of the apples. As we picked, more people came to pick. There was enough room in between the trees so I could drive my power wheelchair in the grassy paths. Bumpy, but doable. The younger trees were short enough for me to pick some apples from my wheelchair and some of older ones had low hanging branches. It didn't seem like they had a public restroom, but perhaps they let people go in their house. They didn't seem to mind that we brought our two dogs, who barked the whole time in our car. Louis was very nice to us and chatted with us as we paid. We will be coming back here next apple season. Their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Shangri-La-Too-Farm-150994154926073/) says "Shangri-La Too is a small family owned and operated farm. We grow small crops of cherries, raspberries, black raspberries, apples and vegetables. We also sell eggs and honey. In season, we offer a u-pick and we pick.

My little cousin, far more ambitious, loved being able to pick her own pint. Both the pre-picked and u-pick berries were so good. I also got a cup of the apple pie ice cream. It was good but not great. The pie crust, due to the high amounts of butter, just got very hard in the ice cream and made it challenging to eat. But the ice cream itself was delicious so I'd definitely be into trying a different flavor there. They have a small market with some other blueberry products and pre-packed ice cream and such.
