Ionia

Hanulcik Farm Market & Orchard in Ionia has been a family tradition of growing since 1936, with strawberries, peaches, raspberries, sunflowers, nectarines, pears, blackberries, and over 20 apple varieties ripening June through October — most available as pick-your-own. The market store stacks farm fruit alongside Michigan favorites: Yeomans honey, Farm Country cheese curds, Amish Country dairy, Lost Fawn wines (including a strawberry-rhubarb made exclusively with Hanulcik berries), Hudsonville ice cream, and more.

Fall brings pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, a corn maze, wagon rides, and a petting zoo, plus fresh cider and donuts from the farm market.

Stanton

Anderson & Girls Orchards pairs an apple orchard and cider mill with a free petting zoo holding more than 140 animals — kangaroos, camels, zebras, emus, peacocks and lemurs among them. The Stanton farm market also sells house-made ice cream and gifts out of its gift loft. It's an unusual combination for a Michigan orchard; most farms this size stick to fruit and cider, not exotic animals.
