A Message from Annette and Randy on May 27, 2023

Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick is closed for a few more weeks. The Farm Market will be open again around  June 12,  2023 when Sweet Local Strawberries are ready for sale. Hopefully there will still be some Local Asparagus and Rhubarb available for sale too. But I cannot guarantee that I will be able to still buy it then. Sorry. There is NO UPIC Strawberries available. Sweet Cherries from our own farm will be starting around June 23 at the Farm Market. We will also have Sweet Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, and some Vegetables from southern states until our Local Melons and Vegetables are ready to pick. We accept Cash or Credit/Debit Cards at Farm Market or U-Pick. Farm Market is open everyday 9am to 7pm (even holidays). Farm Market address is 3452 Friday Road, Coloma, MI 49038.

The first U-Pick available will be Sweet Cherries you can pick off the tree yourself. We hope to start U-Pick Sweet Cherries on Friday June 23, 2023. But please check back around June 18 for the exact opening date. Cherry U-Pick Address is 6299 Carmody Road, Coloma, MI 49038. We have a good crop of Sweet Cherries this year but when they are picked off the tree, there are no more coming this year and the u-pick will be closed. Sweet Cherry U-Pic could be open for 3-10 days, depending on weather and how busy we are. The Cherry U-Pick is open 7 days a week from 10am to 4:30pm until the Cherries are gone off the tree.

Sour (Tart) Pie Cherry U-Pick will start around July 1 and only goes for about 4 days. We never have the U-Pick open on 4th of July, but the Farm Market is open to buy Cherries on 4th of July from 9am to 7pm.

Sweet Cherry U-Pick Prices: $4.99 pound, $5 per person Admission (age 6 and up). For every 15 pounds bought, you get 1 ($5) admission back. An example is if you buy 30 pounds or more, you get $10 back from the admission for 2 people. You can add family purchases together to get the discount,  if they are all paid by the same person in 1 transaction. We accept Cash or Credit/Debit Cards at Farm Market or U-Pick.

We have NOT increased the price of Admission or Cherry U-Pick price for this year!

Sour Pie Cherries (not for eating, just for Pies, Jam, Cooking) U-Pick or Already Picked are the Same Price at $1.49 per pound. Sour Cherries are starting around July 1 at U-Pick and Farm Market or Farm if you buy over 20 pounds. It is better to pre-order the Sour Cherries over 20 pounds (within a few days of pickup), so we make sure we have them ready for you. We sell already picked Sour Cherries for about 10 days (depending on weather). Please bring something that doesn't leak to put the sour cherries in. Sour Cherries will make a mess in your vehicle in a bag. A cooler or tub is recommended. I am hoping to have credit card availability at the farm this year.

There is no hayride for Cherry U-Pick, but you can enjoy a lunch or snack under the tent with picnic tables. Portajohns are available but I recommend finding a bathroom on the way to the U-Pick. Fruit Acres Farm Market has bathrooms and McDonalds is just north of the Farm Market. We do sell cold water and pop at the U-Pick but no food is available (except Cherries!).
