Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Southeast Michigan? Farms are open and safe! Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Southeast Michigan, sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name  (see "What does Organic mean?"). The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!

New! Pricing information - I am building a pricing guide to help you know what the typical prices are for each crop. Let me know when you see price changes!
 If you are having a hard time finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.

New! Road tripping and camping is a great way to have a fun, safe and inexpensive family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best camping weather.  See our new website Road Tripping and Camping.com for tips, tricks, guides, checklists and info about parks, monuments and other places to visit.

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make through the links to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What's in season in October 2021, and other timely information:

Notes for October 2021: Autumn is upon us and that means you'd better hurry to get blueberries and peaches; apples are already in full swing. Some crops continue until frost, like raspberries, blackberries, figs, corn and tomatoes. Check your area's crop calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for seasonal specific updates.

See these pages to find a local Apple festival, and other festivals. We have a guide to apple varieties and a guide to peach varieties. Also recipes, canning and freezing directions for apples, blueberries, peaches, tomatoes, corn etc.

See our comprehensive list of easy home canning, jam and jelly making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me! It is easy to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. Also note, there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now.  They have all copied their information from here and usually do not ever update.  Since 2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see anything wrong or outdated, please write me!

    A visitor writes on July 30, 2015: "Toth Brothers Blueberry Patch (Jackson County) is no-frills and a great experience. I just wanted to correct the organic notation, though. The patch is not certified organic. Many people will believe (rightfully so) that this is a certified organic u-pick and will not be happy to find out that is not the case.

The owner is grizzled-looking, but really friendly. not much in the way of amenities but the blueberries are yummy. You're explicitly told to eat as much as you want while you're picking. I take plenty out in my stomach."

    A visitor writes on September 26, 2014: "Love this place! Outstanding pies and baked goods, awesome cider, tons of activities, petting zoo...my kids have a ball every time we go."
    Comments from a visitor on October 03, 2011: "We went to Waird's this weekend and were greatly disappointing that to pick either apples or pumpkins, we had to pay $12.50 per person to get in and then also pay for the produce. The handful of activities they have in addition to the picking is really not worth the $12.50. It was a total rip-off. I thought you may want to add this information so people who are looking to pick produce know how excessively expensive this place is. "

Then, claim a ticket, select a harvest time slot, grab a basket, and hop on the tractor ride. Our tractor ride will take you to a predetermined harvest location in the orchard. The harvest time slots are designed to provide more than enough time to pick out the perfect apples. Do you want to party in the orchard?
