Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Washington, MI

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.

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.

Romeo

Stony Creek Orchard presses its own cider from apples grown on-site and fries donuts fresh in its Donut House, alongside pick-your-own apples, raspberries, and pumpkins. The salesroom stocks pears, handmade pies, caramel apples, gourds, jams, and maple syrup, and wagon rides run through the orchard with weekday group tours available. Open seasonally September through December.

Armada

Falkenberg Honey Farm keeps bees in Armada, in Macomb County's fruit belt north of Detroit. As a honey farm rather than a produce stand, its output is jarred honey rather than u-pick crops.

Armada

Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill grows apples and runs a full cider mill on Armada Center Road in Armada, Michigan, with U-pick fruit and vegetables in season. The cidery's craft hard cider was voted Best Cidery by HOUR Detroit in both 2024 and 2025. Funland adds more than 35 attractions — jumping pillows, a petting farm, train rides — and the Tasting Room serves lunch, dinner, and a strolling weekend brunch buffet. Open daily, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

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. It opens to the public on select summer Sundays from June through August and every weekend in October, and runs school field trips, birthday parties, summer day camp, and a horse camp. Pony rides and animal encounters are regular fixtures of a visit.

Armada

Blake Farms Orchard and Cider Mill in Armada presses its own cider and bakes donuts on-site daily, alongside u-pick apples and a farm market selling craft hard cider, jarred goods and seasonal produce. The mill and tasting room open at 8 a.m., and the calendar runs deep into fall festivals — a Pickle Festival, a Sunflower Festival — beyond the usual apple-and-pumpkin season.

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.

Macomb

Kutchey Family Farm traces back to the early 1800s, when the Kutcheys sold potatoes, eggs, and milk out of Warren; they moved to their current 250-acre Macomb Township spot in 1965 and switched to produce. Sweet corn, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, beans, and pumpkins fill the fields from mid-July through November, and the affiliated market now pours Michigan beer and wine alongside local honey.

Sterling Heights

Hardy Honey Bee Farms sells raw, unprocessed honey out of Sterling Heights — Wildflower, Buckwheat, and Orange Blossom varieties, none of it pasteurized. This isn't a pick-your-own destination; the honey moves through chiropractic offices, produce stands, and specialty shops around Warren, Macomb, and Clinton Township, or by calling the farm directly. The owners are members of the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association.

Almont

Fuhrs Valley View Farm sits on Van Dyke Road in Almont, in the farmland northeast of Rochester Hills. No details on what the farm grows or sells are published online, so a phone call is the best way to find out before visiting.

Armada

Blake's Big Apple, on North Avenue in Armada, is the attractions-heavy half of the Blake Farms family — Funland alone runs more than 35 rides and activities, alongside u-pick, a farm store, bakery and haunted attractions each fall. It's built for a family day out, not a quick stop for fruit, and shares ownership with the quieter Blake Farms Orchard and Cider Mill down the road.

Macomb

Altermatt Farms sits on 25 Mile Road in Macomb, Michigan, in Macomb County northeast of Detroit. Crops, animals, and seasonal activities aren't confirmed online yet.

Imlay City

Imlay City, in Lapeer County, hosts Michigan's Blueberry Festival each summer, and E.B. Blueberries grows the fruit that gives the town its reputation. No independent website or current u-pick schedule was confirmed online — call ahead for this season's picking hours.

Capac

Blueridge Blueberry Farm grows 18 acres of Spartan, Blueray and Jersey blueberries on Donald Road in Capac, in Michigan's Thumb, using sustainable growing practices on a family-owned operation. U-pick runs mid-July through August, and the farm also bakes at an on-site bakery. It's a bigger planting than most u-pick operations in the area, which is part of why the season here tends to run longer.

Imlay City

Mr. Green Jeans Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch is on Rule Road in Imlay City, Lapeer County, pairing a fall corn maze with a pumpkin patch. No further public details are available for this listing.

Imlay City

Indigo Lavender Farms grows lavender on Van Dyke Road in Imlay City and sells all-natural lavender and honey products alongside farm tours. Photographers and visitors come out during summer bloom to walk the rows, and the farm keeps its doors open across all four seasons rather than closing down once the lavender fades.

Imlay City

Wild Rose Farms is listed on Church Road in Imlay City, in Lapeer County farm country northeast of Detroit. What's grown or offered to visitors isn't published online.

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.

Riley Ridge Farms is a family-run grain operation on Riley Center Road near Memphis, Michigan, growing soybeans over roughly 29 years in business. It's a working row-crop farm rather than a u-pick or roadside stand, with no public visiting or retail component.

Madison Heights

Azra Chamber of Horrors runs a multi-level haunted maze in Madison Heights that Haunts.com has ranked among the top twenty in the country. The walk-through takes 20 to 30 minutes, leans on strobe lights and fog rather than animatronics, and recommends visitors be 12 or older. Tickets sell online or at the box office; call ahead for current hours since the season schedule shifts year to year.

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.

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.

Emmett

Zwierniks Strawberries operates on Emmett Road, M-19, in St. Clair County's Thumb region, part of a corridor of small produce farms selling directly off the highway each summer. No further public details are available.

Casco

Pankiewicz Cider Mill presses fresh cider every Saturday at its Lindsey Road location in Casco Township, a member of the Michigan Cider Makers Guild.

It's open Thursday through Sunday, 9 to 5, with a sheltered picnic area for families.

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.

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.

Yale

Fahley Farms cuts a corn maze into its fields outside Yale every fall, with a hay bale maze, a petting zoo, and a straw-tractor ride rounding out the visit. It's a modest, family-run operation rather than a big commercial attraction — small enough that the family answers the farm's own phone directly. Worth a stop for families in Michigan's Thumb looking for something low-key.

Holly

Oakhaven Farm is an agritourism listing on Grange Hall Road in Holly, in Oakland County. What the farm grows or offers visitors isn't available online yet.

Goodrich

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.

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 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.

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.

Holly

Mitchell Farm has worked the same 300 acres in Holly since 1838, growing soybeans, wheat, and corn as its main commercial crops. The farm market sells spring annuals, fall pumpkins from a u-pick patch, fresh donuts, and cider, with hayrides added for school groups each October. The market runs May through June and mid-September through October 31, daily from 10am to 6pm.
