A remodeled barn adds ice cream and hot dogs, plus a corn maze and the Birchview Event Barn for private events.

Commerce Charter Twp

The Long family has farmed in Commerce Township for 150 years — since 1876 — selling Michigan produce picked fresh daily as each crop comes in: asparagus in spring, sweet corn and garden vegetables in summer, then apples, pumpkins, fresh cider, and seasonal donuts in fall. The fall season adds a corn maze, hayrides, and a petting farm, with a crop hotline announcing what's ripe.

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.

It's a straightforward stop for cider and baked goods, not an attractions-heavy destination.
