Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Detroit, MI

Madison Heights

Azra Chamber of Horrors runs a multi-level haunted maze in Madison Heights that Haunts.com has ranked among the top twenty in the country. The walk-through takes 20 to 30 minutes, leans on strobe lights and fog rather than animatronics, and recommends visitors be 12 or older. Tickets sell online or at the box office; call ahead for current hours since the season schedule shifts year to year.

Dearborn

This listing's name matches the McFadden-Ross House, a historic home in Dearborn rather than a working farm. No current agricultural operation or visitor program at this address turned up in research — likely a data mismatch worth confirming locally before treating it as a farm stop.

Taylor

Massab Acres is a greenhouse and nursery on Pardee Road in Taylor, stocking annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs alongside mulch in multiple colors, topsoil, pea gravel, slag sand, and river rock. Materials are sold by the bag or truckload, with delivery available for larger orders. The business also handles landscape design and installation.

Sterling Heights

Hardy Honey Bee Farms sells raw, unprocessed honey out of Sterling Heights — Wildflower, Buckwheat, and Orange Blossom varieties, none of it pasteurized. This isn't a pick-your-own destination; the honey moves through chiropractic offices, produce stands, and specialty shops around Warren, Macomb, and Clinton Township, or by calling the farm directly. The owners are members of the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association.

Romulus

Uptown Bee Honey Farm keeps hives near the Huron River in Romulus, Michigan, southwest of Detroit Metro Airport. Honey varieties, hive count, and sale hours aren't confirmed online yet.

Berlin Charter Township

Fun Acres Corn Maze cuts a new pattern into its cornfield on Haggerman Road every fall, backed by a hay bale maze, a petting zoo, and hayrides pulled by a straw-covered tractor. The South Rockwood farm runs seasonally, drawing families from around Berlin Charter Township and greater Monroe County for the kind of low-key outing that doesn't need a theme park attached to it. Call ahead for the current season's hours before making the drive.

Romulus

Bird's Big Punk'ns grows monster pumpkins and u-pick fall red raspberries in Romulus, along with gourds, corn stalks, baled straw, and honey. The season opens in September and runs through October, daily from 10am until dark. It's a straightforward fall stop — no corn maze or petting zoo, just pumpkins by the acre and raspberries you pick yourself.

Plymouth

Denny's U Pick is a pick-your-own operation in Plymouth, on the western edge of metro Detroit. No independent website or current crop and hours information was confirmed in research — call ahead before making the trip.

New Boston

Apple Charlies operates as a farm market in New Boston, in southern Wayne County near the Huron River. Details beyond its name and address are sparse online, which is typical for small, seasonal fruit stands in the area.

Macomb

Kutchey Family Farm traces back to the early 1800s, when the Kutcheys sold potatoes, eggs, and milk out of Warren; they moved to their current 250-acre Macomb Township spot in 1965 and switched to produce. Sweet corn, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, beans, and pumpkins fill the fields from mid-July through November, and the affiliated market now pours Michigan beer and wine alongside local honey.

Macomb

Altermatt Farms sits on 25 Mile Road in Macomb, Michigan, in Macomb County northeast of Detroit. Crops, animals, and seasonal activities aren't confirmed online yet.

Orion Charter Township

The Lake Orion Honey Company started as a hobby beekeeping operation in 2009 and now sells raw, unfiltered, kosher honey along with beeswax, queens and nucs from hives kept around Orion Township. The family also runs a honey bee and bumblebee rescue service, relocating hives instead of exterminating them, and treats their colonies with organic methods only. It's a small mom-and-pop outfit, not a packaged-honey brand.

Huron Charter Twp

The Lone Oak Sunflower Farm and Corn Maze opens each fall across a 16-acre sunflower field where visitors cut their own bouquets. Its corn maze runs more than four miles of trail split into three difficulty levels, with a flashlight version after dark and scavenger-hunt checkpoints built into the medium and mega routes. The farm also rents its barn for private events and photo sessions through the end of October.

Washington Charter Township

Big Red Orchard, under new ownership since 2023, is one of Michigan's oldest u-pick apple orchards, still pressing cider and frying donuts at its Washington Township cider mill. Beyond apples, the farm sells peaches, plums and cherries in season, plus u-pick pumpkins and a straw mountain for kids. It's open year-round, with a bar — the Legacy Bar — running on its own separate hours.

Washington

Washington

Miller's Big Red Orchard, now doing business as Big Red Orchard, has run a cider mill and u-pick operation in Washington Township since 1878, making it one of the oldest orchards in Michigan. The farm market sells seasonal produce and cider, and The Legacy Bar on-site serves food and drinks with trivia nights and happy hours Wednesday through Sunday.

Newport

J. Webb Farm has raised grain and livestock on the same Newport land since 1866, now run by the seventh generation of the family. Fall is when the farm opens to visitors, with a corn maze, hayrides, evening bonfires, and a U-pick patch of Indian corn, gourds, and squash alongside the animals on display.

Belleville

The Pumpkin Factory is a seasonal pumpkin patch in Belleville, a lakeside community in the Detroit metro's outer suburbs. Fall is clearly the season here, given the name, but no confirmed hours, pricing, or activity list turned up online. Check directly before visiting during pumpkin season.

Belleville

DeBuck's has run its family farm in Belleville since 2009 across two generations, laying out a 15-acre corn maze and a 20-acre pumpkin patch each fall alongside slides, pedal carts, paintball, and apple cannons. The farm also runs a spring tulip festival in April and May and a sunflower festival in August, with cider and donuts sold at the fall event.

Belleville

DeBuck's Family Farm runs its Sunflower Festival from late July through mid-August, when visitors walk rows of blooming sunflowers to cut their own bouquet. The festival grounds carry more than 20 attractions plus a new 25-foot mega slide, specialty donuts, and food vendors. The same property runs Fall and Tulip festivals later in the year, so the fields and activities change with the season.

Plymouth

Ypsilanti

Rowe's has run u-pick strawberries and peas in Ypsilanti since 1968, and locals still call it the largest u-pick acreage for both crops anywhere in Michigan. Sweet corn comes in bi-color, and the farm market stocks honey, jams, jellies, salsa, marinades, soups, relishes, spices, popcorn, and canning supplies. Weather has pushed strawberry picking off some recent seasons — call ahead before making the drive.

Northville

Willow Greenhouse is a nursery and greenhouse operation in Northville, on the western edge of the Detroit suburbs along the Wayne-Oakland county line. No confirmed product list, hours, or website turned up in research — call ahead before visiting.

Northville

Three Cedars Farm sits on Six Mile Road in Northville, Michigan, in western Wayne County. Its former web domain is no longer active, and current activities and season aren't confirmed online.

Highland Charter Twp

Oasis Acres Alpaca raises alpacas in Highland Township, in Oakland County's horse-and-hobby-farm country west of Detroit. A visit to a farm like this centers on meeting the herd rather than picking produce.

Salem Township

Donahee Farms is a fourth-generation working farm growing broccoli, peppers, carrots, zucchini, onions, cabbage, lettuce, and potatoes for southeast Michigan. Rather than selling from the farm itself, they set up at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market (Wednesdays and Saturdays, 7am-3pm) and the Northville Farmers Market (Thursdays, 8am-2pm), along with flowers, hanging baskets, and fall pumpkins in season.
