My family has been going to this orchard for years. Every fall we would make a picnic out of apple…read morepicking. Yoder's is one of the only drive in orchard in the area. Stopping at the store shed, we would pick up our empty baskets, and head to the back of the orchard. We would enjoy our picnic among the hills, trees, and birds. It is a very peaceful, meadow like space. Our annual event spanned generations to include my children and my sister's children. Although my sons are grown, they still enjoy going to Yoder's, eating the apples, and playing football in the fields. The apples are always so fresh and deliciously crisp. The end result of homemade applesauce for the holidays is still a greatly anticipated treat for my family. Last year (2017), we discovered Yoder's has a new owner. He was every bit as nice and friendly as the previous owners were. Since it is Spy season right now, this weekend we will be in the orchards once again. This is one of my family's cherished traditions and one of our places.

When I was little, we used to go to the apple orchard every fall... we would pick apples, stuff our…read morefaces with the fresh fruit, and go home with bushels of apples for canning. I still love going to the orchard every fall and I like to take my dog with me... but I hate the rat race of the big money-making orchards that have turned into circuses. I get that their season is short and they have to make the most of the fall by drawing as many people as possible (hence the pumpkin patches, the petting zoos, the face painting, the giant balloon moonwalks... and the impossible parking and insanely long lines that go with all of it), but that stuff drives me crazy. I love the chirping birds and the bees buzzing around fallen apples. I love not having to walk a half mile to get from my car to the orchard, I love not waiting in impossible lines, and I love not paying inflated prices so as to cover the expense of all the clowns, animal handlers, etc. So, for my third year in a row I have gone to Yoder's. I love it. It's easy to miss, but it is just south of Blakes on M-53/Van Dyke. Just stop at the entrance, pick up a bag/bushel from Ron (who sits in his truck and waits for people to pull up), then drive off beyond the road into acres and acres of quiet, still orchard where you can pick apples, relax, let Fido run around free, and enjoy picking apples w/o the lines, the fuss, or the $$$. If you are looking for all that rig-a-marole, DO NOT go to Yoder's---they don't have it... hell, they don't have cider, or donuts, or caramel apples (and they only take cash or check). But there are plenty of places where you *can* get those things, and not nearly enough places where you can get pick-your-own apples without all the fuss. I'll keep going back to this orchard every year.

Highly recommend the Dinner Date Experience at Romeo Lavender Farm!!! It was the perfect romantic…read moredate night! First of all- the food was AMAZING... One of the best meals we've ever had! It's hard to find a steak that's cooked properly- especially a filet... And it was cooked to *perfection*. Also, the scenery is breathtaking. The lavender and wildflowers were soooo beautiful. And the smell of the lavender plants is heavenly!!! We kept it simple and brought a blanket, a little table, and some drinks. Some people brought tables and chairs, but I think it was way better sitting on the ground picnic style! Every person working was SO friendly and took great care of us. Everything about it was top notch and we will definitely be back!!!

This is a good-sized u-pick grape farm out in Dryden. It's a beautiful area to drive around. Their…read moreorchard has all kinds of grapes and you can pick whatever you want. You can just wander around on foot or drive out to a specific area. Some of the trees are covered by nets to keep the birds out (I assume), so it takes some doing to get to the grapes. It is a good idea to take some clippers and a container (I took plastic bags & a clipper I'd gotten from a dollar store), but they do have them if you've forgotten them. There are also a couple apple trees. I'm not sure if those are meant to be picked or not; the only people I saw doing that were families with small children. Their prices are very reasonable and the grapes are a totally different breed from what you get at a grocery store. Once you taste these, you'll never be excited by what stores have again.
