Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Holly, MI

Grand Blanc

Simple Times Farm runs a working dairy, a community garden, and a farm market alongside its riding and boarding stables in Grand Blanc, just north of the Oakland County line.

Tours and public events run through the year on top of the boarding operation.

Goodrich

Holly

Diehl's Orchard & Cider Mill has run in Holly for 70 years, selling fresh-picked apples by the bag or in bulk starting mid-September alongside hot and cold cider and fresh donuts. There's no u-pick here, but the corn maze, hay maze, playground, and pond are free to visit, with hayrides at $3 and pony rides at $10. The mill runs daily through October, then weekends only into late November.

Highland

Bonadeo Farms sits about 40 miles northwest of Detroit, where fall visitors walk a corn maze that grows 8 to 10 feet tall and pick their own apples and pumpkins. Daytime hours bring hayrides, cider, and homemade donuts; after dark the farm becomes Full Moon Manor, a haunted house and haunted corn maze staffed with actors. The barn is also available to rent for events.

Fenton

Misty Meadow Lavender grows seven varieties of lavender on Hartland Road, opening the U-pick fields from May through August. The farm added U-pick sunflowers after opening in 2018. It sits off US-23 between Clyde and Center roads, a short detour for anyone driving north out of Fenton. Cash, Visa, and Mastercard are accepted on-site.

Huff Tree Farm is listed on West Wardlow Road in Highland Township, Oakland County. The name points to a choose-and-cut Christmas tree operation, though varieties, hours, and season dates aren't published online.

Ortonville

Ashton Orchards sold market apples, peaches, plums, pears, sweet corn and pumpkins on Seymour Lake Road outside Ortonville for 59 years, pressing its own cider and baking donuts, pies and caramel apples on-site. The family did not reopen for the 2025 season, citing the owners' age and health. Call ahead before visiting — the future of the operation isn't confirmed.

Fenton

Rex Apiary has kept bees in the Irish Hills lake district for more than 50 years, formalizing as an LLC in 2019 under registered agent Karen Rex. They plant fields specifically to shape what their bees forage on, plus raise queen bees and nucleus colonies for other beekeepers. Their honey turns up locally at Heavenly Scent Herb Farm and C A LaMont Farms in Fenton, or direct through their website.

Argentine

Mueller's Orchard and Cider Mill has run continuously since the late 1880s, with the Mueller family at the helm since 1941 and now three generations deep on the highest point in Genesee County. The mill presses cider from hand-picked, in-season apples only — no drops — and bakes fresh donuts daily, including a seasonal pumpkin glaze in October. A remodeled barn adds ice cream and hot dogs, plus a corn maze and the Birchview Event Barn for private events.

Goodrich

Porter's Orchard has been in the same family since 1919, now run by a third generation on Hegel Road in Goodrich. The cider mill turns out fresh-pressed cider and cider donuts, the farm market sells raw honey harvested on site, and a corn maze, inflatable slide, and petting farm round out the fall visit. A pavilion is available to rent for events.

Fenton

LaFever Chestnuts has grown 350 chestnut trees across nearly 70 acres in Livingston County since 1997, making it one of the few U-pick chestnut farms in southeast Michigan. The harvest runs late September through early October, with staff on hand to show first-timers how to gather the nuts. The farm belongs to Chestnut Growers Inc., a 37-member cooperative of Michigan growers.

Fenton

Spicer Orchards runs a farm market, cider mill, and winery on Clyde Road in Fenton, growing strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, and sunflowers for u-pick. The farm market opens at 9am daily and stays open until 7pm, with cider, donuts, caramel apples, and fudge alongside the wine list; the winery itself runs 11am to 8pm. Fall brings a corn maze, pumpkin patch, and harvest festival on top of the wagon rides.

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.

Fenton

Maison Rouge Vineyard grows Marquette and Itasca — cold-hardy wine grapes bred for Michigan winters — on O'Connell Road in Fenton. The woman-owned vineyard opens for U-pick on fall weekends, typically 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from late September into October, though hours shift with the crop, so checking Facebook before driving out is worth it.

Davison

Uptegraff's Orchard is in Davison, just east of Flint in Genesee County. It's listed as an orchard and agritourism stop; no picking schedule, crop list, or hours are published online, so it's worth calling ahead before visiting.

Apple Lane Orchard sells u-pick apples, fresh cider, pumpkins and squash on North Center Road in Flint, along with baked goods from a local Amish bakery. A pumpkin patch runs in fall, and Christmas trees are cut later in the season, so the farm stays open well past a typical cider mill's closing date. It's a straightforward stop for cider and baked goods, not an attractions-heavy destination.

Oxford

Eclipse Alpacas has raised alpacas in Oxford since 2001, about 45 minutes north of Detroit, and opens the farm for tours where visitors get close to the herd. The shop sells alpaca-fiber hats, gloves, socks, and clothing, and the farm also sells breeding stock with known genetics to other operations and shows animals at events around the country.

Wolcott Orchard grows fruit on Coldwater Road near Mount Morris, Michigan, in Genesee County's orchard country north of Flint. No confirmed details on varieties or U-pick access are available 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.

Lapeer

Shamrock Farms Bed and Breakfast operates on a farm property in Lapeer, in Michigan's Thumb area northeast of Flint. No rates, hours, or contact details were verifiable online — call ahead before booking a stay.

Flushing

Coyner's Blueberries has grown blueberries outside Flushing since 1949, a small family farm that still runs u-pick hours from 9am to 5pm, closed Wednesdays and Sundays. The Lawrence family, who've run the operation since 2001, stick to natural growing methods on what's a modest, single-crop farm — no corn maze, no petting zoo, just rows of bushes and a bucket. Call to check on ripeness before driving out.

Millington

I & J Wolverton Nursery has operated on Lake Road in Millington since 1955, running as both a garden center and a u-pick berry farm. Beyond plants, trees, and flowers for the yard, visitors can pick asparagus, raspberries, and strawberries in season — a nursery and a produce farm sharing the same gravel lot.

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.

otter lake

Blueberry Lane Farms grows blueberries on its namesake road in Otter Lake, in Lapeer County northeast of Flint. No hours, pricing, or contact details were verifiable online — call ahead before visiting during blueberry season.

Howell

Arthur Hazen started buying up land around Howell in the 1950s and 60s, and he and his son Dennis eventually planted more than 25 acres of blueberry bushes across it. Generations later, the farm still runs u-pick blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and plums, plus a bakeshop called Sweet Maria's that turns the harvest into pies, cookies, and homemade ice cream. The season opens in early July and runs into fall.

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.

Howell

Triple Diamonds Alpaca Ranch breeds alpacas on Schafer Road outside Howell, with a boutique shop on-site selling fiber goods alongside the animal encounters. Owners Kathy Aksten and Danny Meier run one of the better-known alpaca operations in the Midwest, and the ranch caters to both serious breeders and families looking for an afternoon around unusual animals.

Clio

Josh Raleigh grows apples, broccoli, carrots, peaches, peppers, and strawberries on a mixed hydroponic and organic farm in Clio, north of Flint. It's open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 9am to 4pm, and Raleigh also runs JNR Landscaping and JNR Trucking out of the same address — a farm built alongside, not instead of, other work.

Clio

Azure Acres is a small, family-run u-pick blueberry farm in Clio, open only during blueberry season — typically late July through Labor Day. Picking runs $3.10 a pound, and the family also sells pre-picked berries at the Davison Farmers Market on Saturdays during the same window. There's no farm store or bakery here, just a blueberry patch and a scale.

Oakland Charter Township

Upland Hills Farm is a nonprofit educational farm on Lake George Road in Oxford, Michigan, built around hands-on visits with farm animals, hayrides, and a playground.

Pony rides and animal encounters are regular fixtures of a visit.

Montrose

Montrose Orchards runs a working cider mill and U-pick orchard about 20 miles northwest of Flint, now in its third generation of family ownership. Pick your own apples, pears, strawberries, cherries, blueberries, or pumpkins, then stop at the bakery for cider and donuts from Debbie's Kitchen. The farm store also stocks jams, honey, maple syrup, and cherry juice, plus hayrides and a fall pumpkin patch.

Dryden

Honeyflow Farm in Dryden sells pure Michigan honey and beeswax candles, and doubles as one of the larger vineyards in southeast Michigan with u-pick grapes come harvest. The honey operation runs alongside the vineyard, not separate from it — the same visit can mean a jar of wildflower honey and a bag of grapes picked straight off the vine.

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.

Webberville

Webberville sits in the mid-Michigan farmland between Lansing and Howell. Diederich's Strawberry Farm grows strawberries here; no independent website or current picking schedule was confirmed online, so call ahead for this season's u-pick dates.
