NOTE: Rainy/stormy weather can affect picking conditions and sometimes demand can exceed supply of ripened fruit in the patch or orchard, so it’s always a good idea to call ahead (616) 527-3630 for the fastest updates and to check pick-your-own conditions before you come out.
SUNFLOWERS: The pick your own sunflower patch first peak bloom is in late summer 2023 with additional staggered bloom dates through autumn. Our varieties include fancy, pollen-free sunflowers in a that don’t shed pollen dust and last longer than regular sunflowers. The patch is open during market hours when in peak bloom times, please stop at the market to borrow clippers and a pail to pick your own.
We also have a private sunflower patch available for photo shoots when in bloom. We charge a flat fee of only $25 to rent the patch for family, engagement, graduation, or baby photos.

PICK YOUR OWN ORCHARD INFO: Please be aware and careful as you walk through the orchard for branches and fallen fruit on the ground. Our apple orchard has dwarf trees that are easy to pick from. Our peach orchard has regular size trees, but there is low hanging fruit you can reach from the ground. You may also bring your own ladder (but you would assume all risk, should you do so). Always use care when walking in the orchard & fields, recognizing that there may be debris on the ground or uneven surfaces. (FYI: We do not assume responsibility for any injury arising out of a condition of the soil, trees, crops growing from it, and are not responsible for these conditions).
