Want to find out when Local Fruit & Vegetables are in Season?

​

 Everything listed below has it's own season! Each item (especially Fruit) may be available only for a week or maybe it is available for 2 months in one year. A grocery store has to buy fruit and vegetables from all over the world so they can be avaible for sale all year long. So please look at the Ripening Chart for when your favorite fruit or vegetable may be available. But remember that the season varies each year by a few days, so check back and see if what you are looking for is ready for the season.

These dates below are not exact. They are the average time the item is available on a normal year. The only problem is in Michigan we never have normal years. Sometimes they are earlier and sometimes they are later.

Update Thursday 10/24/24: Fruit Acres Farm Market & U-Pick is Closed for 2024 season. Thank you to our customers and employees for a good first season (with new owners). We will open the Farm Market again in June 2025 (When Local Strawberries are ready).  In 2025, we are hoping to be open for U-Pick Cherries (starting in Late June), Sweet Peaches and Crisp Apples(starting in Late July).

 


Randy and Annette Bjorge have retired and a local family  has taken over the day by day ownership and management of Fruit Acres Farm Market and U-Pick. Randy and Annette will still be living in Coloma, So we may see some of our great customers around the area. Thank you all so much for being great customers and friends and employees. We are still healthy and want to enjoy life in Beautiful Southwest Michigan. It has been a wonderful life.

Thank you, Have A Great Day!
