I'm always
looking for suggestions of more farms and
events to add and feedback about any you have visited, so if you encounter any,
just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the
information, please click on the link to "add my farm".
Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!
NOTE: Some of the 616 area code numbers have changed to 269. Of
course, neither the phone company nor the farms have let me know which, so if
you get a disconnected message on a 616 number, try 269 instead.

It was a nice farm they have someone to pick you up, so you don't have to
carry your apples. The apple trees are close so if you want to walk you can.
The atmosphere was so nice. they were so friendly and accomodating. We go
apple picking every year, this was my first time at Springhope, ( I found
them online) it was very good experience. I will be going back, we really
had a good time picking apples. They have some of the best tasting apples I
ever had and we eat alot of apples. "

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother
used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here! For more information
