It was recommended to get the Cider Slushy and, pretty amazing, even on a chilly day. The orchards were closed for the day, so we were not able to walk through and view those which was a bit disappointing, and petting zoo, or what not was not something I was willing to spend $20 a person on. It does hit the spot though for a nice snack and relaxation.

This has to be one of the better cider mills in SE Michigan! Tons of parking, pumpkins, mums, and…read moreactivities for the kids. When you enter the barn, you will find a cider section where they offer a cup of hot cider, cider slush, cider slush with ice cream, pumpkin spice cappuccino, and coffee. You will have to pay as soon as you get your drinks and then head over to the donuts, located on the other side of the barn. Even though the barn looks big from the outside, you can't get lost. Just follow the honey, treats, breads, apples, cider to the donuts, then the cashier. Love that they offer donuts with cinnamon sugar or plain. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with either one. The donuts are best eaten, as soon as you get em. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. The staff are always so welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend checking this place out, especially if you have kids.

We have been here a couple times. Once, for a Christmas tree (at least, I'm pretty sure it was the…read moresame owners but it was definitely the same location). They were so kind and understanding as we took forever to pick one out and then added more items at checkout (this was right before closing, I might add). I came back again today for some pumpkins for my porch. As soon as I walked in, the employee greeted me with a smile and commented on my sleeping toddler. All the pumpkins, flowers, and other decor were great quality and extremely reasonably priced. I ended up with 6 mid-sized pumpkins for $22, plus a free mini one that she gifted to my son. There were also a few spots set up for photos, and ample parking even once it started to get busier. Overall, this continues to be a great spot and we will be back again for Christmas!

Took my parents here recently on a Tuesday afternoon for apply picking and we had such a a great time. You buy your tickets at the front. The staff are always friendly, they kindly explain all the prices and any other questions that we have. We were told where to wait for the ride/tractor to the apple field. Didn't take long at all! The driver that day was the sweetest lady! She was informative and told us which apple was her favorite and what to look out for. Going to any orchard can be pricey but Westview is worth it! They keep this place tidy and fun for all visitors.. already made plans with a few other friends so I'll will be back in a few days (they also have best cornmaze btw). Highly recommend Westview!

Came here on a fieldtrip with the little ones. They seemed to like it but it was a long day in the…read moresun. The playground was cute for them, I liked the basketball hoop and the underground tubes they could crawl through. They had a chance to feed the animals, but I did not get much time over there this time. They loved the very large slide. There is a hay bale for the kids to jump around, but the images online look like it might be several tiers, but on this day it was only two and the kids told me there were a lot of hole. The tractor ride was fun. Since it is summer, I did not see anything to pick yet, but it looked like they will have a bunch for fruits and vegetables in the fall. There is a large area for the kids to have lunch, some of it was covered. I did not have a chance to check out the store, wine section, or anything outside the kid area. I did not try any cider, but we had cinnamon sugar donuts. I only had one bite and gave the rest to my child, but it was very delicious and fairly large. It tasted nice and fresh. I wonder if the donuts are this large in the fall. There was an outdoor concession stand. They sold drinks and treats, the turnovers looked delicious. My child got a cider/ blue raspberry slush, it was a very hot day so it was good they sold them. I liked that they had real bathrooms with running water. But I wish they had a better water filling station for the kids. They were getting very hot and the only places to fill their water was the bathroom sink or next to the animals and they were not excited about either of those options. Plus, the kids were very little, so they did not have money from home to buy cold waters. The people working here seemed nice and seemed to have experience with fieldtrips with little kids. I am not sure if I will come back and bring the rest of my family, but if I do, it would be on a weekend in the Fall to check out the rest of their offerings.

We just stopped in for the first time to pick up some sweet corn. I can't resist a fresh peach so…read morewe got some as well. We browsed the bottled sauces, jams and dressings - many were the usual flavors that you would expect to find (strawberry preserves) but about a 1/4 of the selection were varieties I never saw before such as cherry poppyseed salad dressing (that came home with us too). I also saw a few blueberry items - I just wish the preserves were available in a smaller jar as I never had blueberry preserves before but would try it...just a little unsure how sweet they actually are (I am afraid of them being too sweet like pie filling). The prices were a bit high on watermelon but I guess maybe Meijer uses those as a loss leader to get you in the store. We also were charged a fee for using a debit card. I can't say we will be back for just veggies as we live about 15 minutes away but we have not yet tasted to produce / if it's great, we will make the drive. I am curious about the Fall once apples and pumpkins are available. They have a nice building on site that looks like it would be used for Fall to sell cider and donuts (it was just a farm stand on the property that we bought from).

Romeo Lavender Farm offers a special evening of dining among the lavender plants. My husband…read moresurprised me with reservations for this for my birthday. For $75 per person, you get to choose a spot in the field, set up your own table and chairs or picnic blanket (some even brought a patio set with umbrella!), and bring your own drink while they provide a catered buffet dinner. The reviews on their Facebook page sounded excellent, but they were from previous years so I have to wonder if this year they are using a different caterer. The two pasta choices were lukewarm, the boneless chicken was overcooked to the point of being hard and dry, and the sliced beef in au jus was not at all tender or flavorful. The shrimp were a little overcooked but not too bad, but I was only given two of them. The salad was fine, with a lot of healthy greens (mostly spinach), and there were some raw veggies as well. The rolls were your average cheap dinner roll. I didn't try the green bean medley or the sausage, but hubby said the sausage was probably the best thing he tried. The cheesecake dessert was average. I love supporting small businesses, farms, and entrepreneurs, so I hesitated leaving a review like this. However, I would hate for someone with a tight budget to sacrifice to go here for a special night and be really disappointed, because truthfully the food we were served was not worth anything near what we paid. The lavender fields themselves weren't exactly what we pictured, as the space between each row was wide enough to drive through and we pictured fields of more densely-planted lavender, but I can't fault the farm for our unrealistic expectations. The lavender plants were about a foot high and there were plenty to choose from (for the $75 you also get to cut a bundle of blooms), plus there were some wildflowers sown at the far end of the field that you could also cut from. The owner and the caterers were very friendly and helpful, and people did seem to be having a good time. It's possible the caterers were just having an off night. However, it didn't seem like they had those little burners under their serving pans to keep things warm, which would have been nice especially for things like the pasta. Overall I'd say to look into who's doing the catering, and maybe consider just going for the u-pick if you're concerned. The food we were served might have been worth $15/plate if I'm being generous.

The Staff is always polite with Welcome Smiles when I visit Yates. Some Gluten- Free donuts options are also available I was told. I saw on my last visit two weeks ago, slushy cider machines so Sip and Cool off and maybe encounter a brain freeze ? lol I have a Yates "Core Punch Card" that the staff will punch every time I purchase a gallon of cider, then when the punch card is full... A FREE GALLON of Cider will Put a Smile on My Face and Enjoy! * Traffic alert of Roundabout completion to assist the lines of vehicles from May throughout Summer months and Fun Times in the Fall: Dequindre Rd. now has installed 2 Roundabouts to help with the flow of traffic so be aware, careful and courtesy when entering and leaving Yates Cider Mill and Yield!
