Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Saginaw, MI

Saginaw

Saginaw Valley Sod Farm has grown Kentucky Bluegrass sod on Gratiot Road since 1970, using mineral soils and a 3D sod blend to produce a darker, denser lawn that needs less watering and mowing than standard turf. The farm also sells used lawn and farm equipment out of its Saginaw yard, and keeps weekday hours only, closing on weekends.

Freeland

Russell Blueberry Farm is a veteran-owned, family-run operation in Freeland that has grown blueberries since 1988, with up to 12 varieties across 22 acres for u-pick or pre-picked sale. The farm bakes its own muffins and pies and bottles preserves, syrup, and honey; a 10-acre lake and picnic area sit alongside a used bookstore, Russell's Blueberry Book Barn. Blueberries run July through August.

Blueberries Galore Farm sells u-pick and pre-picked blueberries on Gratiot Road in Saginaw, along with Michigan honey and a small line of blueberry products. Hours stretch long during peak season — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, shorter on Sunday — though the farm says hours shift with how much fruit the bushes are producing that week.

Saginaw

Schantz's grows 15 blueberry varieties on 8 to 10 acres outside Saginaw, open daily 8am to 8pm through the season for u-pick or pre-picked berries. It's a family-run operation in a quiet country setting — they supply pails, though you're welcome to bring your own, and there's a portable restroom on-site for the length of a picking trip.

Saginaw

Johnson's grows more than 80 pumpkin varieties on its Saginaw farm, from one-pound minis to 70-pounders, alongside gourds, squash, and corn stalk bundles. The 13-acre corn maze runs daily through October 31, free admission, with a 2,000-square-foot craft barn stocked by more than 100 local vendors and daily hand-cranked donuts. Weekends add pony rides, a petting zoo, and live music.

The greenhouse rotates inventory through the season and runs regular sales on plants and shrubs. It's open seven days a week, with shorter Sunday hours.

Hemlock

Backwoods Blueberries grows five blueberry varieties across a 20-acre patch on Ederer Road in Hemlock. U-pick runs mid-July through mid-August, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at $2.50 a pound. Berries here store well frozen for a year or more, according to the farm's own site — useful if you're picking enough for winter baking, not just a weekend snack.

Hemlock

The Berry Patch is a produce farm in Hemlock, the same Saginaw County farm town as several other small u-pick operations in mid-Michigan. Berries are the presumed draw, given the name, though no picking calendar or hours are posted online — call ahead.

Hemlock

Strawberry Fields Farm operates out of Hemlock, a farm town in Saginaw County's mid-Michigan flatlands. As the name suggests, strawberries are the draw, though picking hours and season dates aren't published online — worth a call before you head out.

Frankenmuth

Weiss Centennial Farm sits on Weiss Road in Frankenmuth, Michigan's Bavarian-themed tourist town in the Saginaw Valley. A "Centennial Farm" name typically marks a Michigan farm that has stayed in the same family for over 100 years, a status tracked by the state's official Centennial Farm program. This farm's specific crops or visiting details aren't published online.

Hemlock

Brenske's Blueberries opens its rows for U-pick blueberries southwest of Hemlock, between Brennan and Iva roads. Mornings are the better time to go, before the summer heat sets in over the field. It's a small, seasonal operation with a modest following on Facebook.

Saginaw

The farm store also stocks jams, honey, maple syrup, and cherry juice, plus hayrides and a fall pumpkin patch.

Hemlock

Gary and Lynne Jacques grow more than twenty apple varieties on their family orchard outside Hemlock, including HoneyCrisp and EverCrisp alongside older standbys. The picking season runs long for Michigan — apples from July through November, with peaches, pears, and plums filling out the rest of the calendar. It's a small operation by design, run by the family that plants and prunes the trees itself.

Frankenmuth

Frankenmuth Area Agricultural Tours operates around Frankenmuth, the Saginaw County town built on its Bavarian heritage, chicken-dinner restaurants, and year-round Christmas shopping at Bronner's. This listing connects visitors to area farms as an add-on to that established tourism trade — specific tour stops, dates, and booking details aren't published under this name.

Frankenmuth

The farm also books weddings and group field trips for schools.

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.

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.

Midland

Midland Berry Farm grows U-pick blueberries and strawberries on Bradford Road in Midland. No storefront or standing hours are listed publicly, so calling ahead is the best way to check what's ripe before making the trip.

Midland

Leon and Wendy Cook run this produce and hay farm south of Midland, growing sweet corn, asparagus, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins alongside cage-free brown eggs, horse hay, and straw. What started on 40 acres has grown to 60. The self-serve farm stand at 2764 E. Gordonville Road runs daily, 8:30am to 9pm, and the family sells the same lineup — plus homemade egg noodles, maple granola, and jam — at the Midland Area Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings.

Field trips for preschool through high school groups run throughout the fall, alongside events like a car show and a fall flea market.

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.

Vassar

Pennell Farms grows U-pick strawberries, raspberries, and tomatoes across 90 acres on State Road in Vassar, land that also holds two ponds and a mile and a half of stream. Fall brings a pumpkin patch, corn maze, wagon rides, and a petting zoo, and the farm grows U-cut zinnias and sunflowers in summer. Camping is available on-site through Hipcamp.

Wheeler

Poindexter Farms grows one crop and grows it well: U-pick strawberries on Harrison Road outside Wheeler, with a season that typically runs about three weeks in June. Weather shifts the exact dates year to year, so the farm posts current picking conditions on Facebook rather than a fixed calendar.

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.

Millington

All About It Farms grew Autumn and red raspberries plus strawberries on Swaffer Road outside Millington, sold both u-pick and already-picked. Regional u-pick directories now list the farm as closed as of the 2025 season, so call ahead before planning a trip out.
