It’s hard to pick favorites, but it’s easy to pick apples in Michigan’s apple orchards. The Mitten State has an abundance of family-owned apple orchards, complemented by the activities that make Michigan such a fantastic hit in the fall. Whatever your apple-flavored craving, be sure to check out our favorite Michigan apple orchards.
Robinettes
One of the few orchards open to the public year round, the family-owned Robinettes has been in business since 1911. Located on the edge of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Robinette’s is a local favorite.
Moelker Orchards
Home to a 300+ year-old black walnut tree, Moelker Orchards is a smaller family-owned orchard offering all the classics like an onsite bakery, hayrides, and a pumpkin patch.
Frugthaven Farm
A newer offering, Frugthaven is all the fun of an orchard, modernized. A little drive south of Grand Rapids, this is a wedding venue, as well as a coffee shop and bustling market.
