A Note From Annette & Randy:

As of June 13, 2013 Summer is here at Fruit Acres Farms. Fruit Acres Farm Market is open for the season! Fruit Acres Farm Market is open with Sweet, Local Homegrown Michigan Strawberries $3.75 quart (1 1/2 pounds) & 8 quart flat $28.99. This year's Strawberries have been extra sweet this year. So come try a sample. We also have Local Asparagus $1.99 pound, (we will be done this weekend sometime), Local Sugar Snap Peas (delicous), and beautiful Herb Plants $1.49 ea. Because of the cool spring this year, the local produce will be 1 week later than usual. Every year is different, that is what keeps life interesting. !

Our first U-Pick crop is Big, Black, Sweet Cherries starting Friday, June 28, open everyday 10am to 5pm until the Cherries are all picked. U-Pick Sour Pie Cherries will be starting around July 4. We do hand pick Sour Pie Cherries on order starting July 8.

I am so sorry that I have been neglecting my duties to update the website. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer this winter, but now I am a Cancer Survivor (thank god). A mammogram is the way the doctors found it when it was small and saved my life. Please encourage every woman you know over 40 to get an annual mammogram. I have good days and bad days and that is why I am behind on my tasks to open the stand. But I am feeling better everyday!

But if you really want to pick your own Strawberries from Michigan, here are some excellent farms in the local area. Call before going to pick, see if they are open yet.

How to use Fresh Michigan Strawberries and alot of recipes!

Now for an update of the crops. Sweet and Sour Cherries, Peaches, Plums and Apples all have a great crop. We are excited about all the crops this year!

Gas in Michigan is $4.08 per gallon (too much!)
