Farm-to-home delivery routes reach Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, Flint, and Detroit — anywhere within 200 miles.

Visitors can U-pick apples and pumpkins, and the farm sells through the Grazing Fields egg co-op and area farm markets.

Kids can visit the petting farm and playground while orders come through the drive-thru or gift shop counter. It's what the creamery calls a one-source operation: every product starts with milk from their own cows.
