Michigan Farms & Mills

Fresh is the air in the orchards. Fresh are the fruits and vegetables we pick ourselves. Fresh is the fun we have with our families on a visit to Michigan’s farms and mills. This is the refreshing way to answer questions like “Mom, where do apples come from?” This is where open-air markets and u-pick farms enliven our recipes. This is the true meaning of the phrase: farm fresh. So let’s visit the farms and mills. Because nothing refreshes our lives like Pure Michigan.

Grandpa Tiny's Farm, Frankenmuth

Grandpa Tiny\'s Farm, Frankenmuth
Step back in time at this working historical farm and petting farm. Hold cuddly baby bunnies and chicks; watch playful lambs and goats; feed and play with the farm animals; gather your own eggs and take a horse drawn wagon ride!
