Everyone here is so helpful and willing to explain best prep methods or cuts based on what your goals are. They have the best prepared salads and my personal favorite- ham roll up dip. This paired with tons of local products, seasonings, and brands native to Michigan makes the whole experience a feel good stop. Highly highly recommend you stop in and checkout the ever expanding products they offer.

I'm not a huge fan of milk nor do I drink it often, but Crooked Creek would be the place to buy milk if you are looking for dairy products free of antibiotics. Crooked Creek's milk is hormone/steroid-free and the cows are fed vegetarian feed with non-GMO corn and hay. Crooked Creek is a must-visit on any farm tour of northern Macomb County. Calves welcome you in their pens as you enter the farm. Besides being able to feed the cows and goats, the store offers delicious ice cream, Crooked Creek milk, fudge, chocolate bars, and other locally made foodstuffs.

I called ahead of time and asked what they had and the butcher let me know what was available and asked what I was looking for. When I got there it's a smaller store but the meat selection is great and the prices are on point with the area also. He remembered me from the phone call so I picked up two thick cut Ribeyes and a NY Strip Steak for our dog since it's his birthday. They also carry other cuts of meat which looked really tasty also.

This was probably one of the juiciest, tender fat cuts of meat I desperately needed. No premarinating needed, it absorbed the seasoning perfect in each succulent morsel. I hate biting into a rubbery piece of meat or cuts that have surprise muscle fibers that shouldn't be there. I also hate eating an animal that you literally taste "sadness". (Hard to explain that one) I haven't had a bad purchase yet over the past 13 yrs

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!!!

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.

On the haunted hayride we had a young woman who was in charge of our wagon and she was a bit over the top with giving instructions and being bossy. I think if she wasn't so annoying I would have given more stars for the whole event, but she was really a downer. They stop half way through the hayride to give you cider and donuts which was really good. The hayride wasn't that scary so don't worry about your kids being scared. I would have liked at least one scream!

I have to say the real draw is the cider and donuts however you feel like a kid when you go. It's definitely for everyone and it's perfect for a family experience, but I have to say it makes a wonderful night out for grown-ups too. And they have a great system that makes it quick and easy to purchase what you want as you have gone through all of the fun haunting areas. You don't have to wait forever to buy your donuts and cider. Best of all, they also offer cider slush. Make sure that Blake's Big Apple is a stop for your fall festivities.

It was Rib fest time so I dropped in to purchase 2 slabs of Vinckier's BBQ ribs to take to my family up the road. When I say the meat was top quality and they were cooked to perfection, I sure do mean it as nothing but rib bones were left after our meal. Inside, to the left is the Ace Hardware offerings and to the right, the main portion of the building is the grocery store. The store was clean, the isles were wide and clear. They offered everything you could need from dairy products, to meat at the deli, greeting cards, paper towels, frozen foods, etc. Need a hammer, bird seed or flannel shirt, just head to the hardware section. The store personnel are so very kind, professional and helpful. I was able to check out in a swift, orderly fashion.
