Dive Right into Fall with Apple Picking
Apple picking, Michigan – they just go together. It is so much more than gathering produce and one of our favorite fall activities in Kalamazoo.
Enjoying time outdoors in the midst of the crisp fall air and the beautiful colors is a real experience.
We are lucky to have so many different varieties of apples in Michigan and this is the time of year for your family to gather your very own bounty.
If you’re wondering where you can go to pick a peck of fresh apples (including organic) around Southwest Michigan, we’ve got your list right here!
Note: Since apple varieties ripen at different times of the season, it’s best to check directly with a farm’s u pick schedule online, social media page, or call them to see when your favorites are ready for picking.
