Harvest Time

Michigan Apples

Grab Yourself a Little Piece of Pure Michigan  

Harvest time is when Mother Nature puts on a whole new wardrobe and we look at life in a whole new way. Fresh is in the air in the Michigan apple 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.

Head to the Woods

Deer Season. Turkey Season. Bear Season. The calendar tells us when they begin, but outdoor temperatures trigger our instincts. Whether we're camouflaged in tree stands or following our dog's leads, thousands of acres of prime hunting grounds let us put our skills to the test.
