Great time this morning picking apples at Hy's! I really appreciated that their website has a list…read moreof what weekends you can pick which apples, and that the orchard is open for picking through November to boot!! Today we were able to pick Macintosh, Galas, Cortlands, Empires and everything looks and smells glorious. The orchards seemed well maintained and the signs show you to which rows you're allowed to pick in; staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely stop in the shop for apple cider and donuts, and if you're there around lunch check out the BBQ food truck! I tried the smoked macaroni and cheese, green beans, and baked beans--fun to eat a tasty lunch in the sun, and not too far from the orchards. My friend said the pulled pork was delicious!

The cider and donuts were cheaper than the larger competitors in the area and more delicious in our opinion It was also less crowded. You can also do u-pick for apples. They had a BBQ food truck. We got some smoked mac and cheese. It was delicious (although a little expensive at $13 for a small container). Overall we enjoyed our trip to Hy's and we will be back next year.

Several of…read moreour old standbys were closed for the weekend so after a bit of digging we came across Berry Hill Farm. So cute! It's right on the border of Dexter/Chelsea and is just big enough to make picking SUPER easy but not so big that you need to spend a ton of time here. I think we were in and out in about 30-40 minutes at most, and we filled a whole flat with delicious berries. They're only open during picking season so check their facebook page for daily updates on picking quality and hours. When you arrive, check in with the owners and they'll give you a box with containers and an empty milk jug to tie around your waist for easy two handed picking. Then dig in! There are several rows of different berry varieties, including red raspberries, black raspberries, and golden raspberries. You'll know they're ripe when they're a deep color and pull right off the bush. The bushes, especially blackberries, are a bit spiky so be careful! I didn't bring gloves because I find them a bit cumbersome so I did get poked a couple of times but nothing major. When you're done, head back to the garage with your tray and they'll tally up your berries. Currently it's $2.50 per pint. Cash or check only. Brought home the berries and they were SO good. They really lasted a long time too. It's been over a week and I've still be throwing them in my yogurt every morning. Baked up beautifully in some breakfast bars too. Excited to have discovered this place and I'm definitely looking forward to visiting year after year.

Although it was busy and there were lines. The line for donuts went by very quick! We got the cinnamon sugar and plain donuts and they were fantastic! They came out fresh and in bags of 6!

We also picked up two pumpkins to carve and they were priced like 50 cents a pound (don't quote me) Over all this was the perfect place to get me in the mood for fall!

I've been coming to Spicer Farm and Orchard every year with my family and friends ; it's become a…read morelittle fall tradition for us. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed quite a few changes from previous years, and unfortunately, not all for the better. They no longer have the scenic hayride that used to include a free donut and a cup of apple cider with your ticket purchase. Now, it's $5 per person, and instead of a peaceful scenic ride, it stops at every station and they no longer give you a donut & cider with ticket purchase. When we asked about the change, we were told it was because they weren't making money off the old setup. I understand businesses need to adjust, but it really took away from the experience. That scenic ride with the cider and donut was always one of the highlights for us ; something we truly looked forward to every year. They did add more bouncy houses for the kids, which is nice, but the ones they had before were just as fun. The food was about the same, decent, but nothing special. It was noticeably more expensive this year. $5 for a single ear of corn felt excessive. On the positive side, the cinnamon donuts are still amazing, and the apple cider is as delicious as ever. I also enjoyed the wine tasting, which is always fun, though seating is still limited and could be improved. Overall, the visit just didn't have the same charm or warmth as before. We still had an okay time, but it didn't feel as memorable as past years. Sadly, I think this might be our last year visiting, we'll probably look for a new orchard next fall.

I've been strawberry picking locally for decades at another farm nearby. However, this year they…read moreweren't open for picking so, craving the best part of a Michigan summer, I went to Yelp and searched and found Honey Bee. AND it was SO close to my house! I immediately went to their website and was thrilled to find out that they were currently offering picking from 10-7pm pretty much every day of the week. Hooray! So, this past weekend, I made my way over there. Long story short, I had a great experience! They have 12 varieties of strawberries that vary in size, ripening rates, and levels of sweetness. U-pick stretches out in rows over 3 acres so they've got alotta strawberries, my friends! The person running the u-pick explained that the strawberries in the rows next to the barn were bigger but more tart and the rows further from the barn were smaller but sweeter. I picked a little from both and in the end wish I had stuck to the smaller but sweeter, though they were all delicious! I just happen to have more of a sweet tooth. Despite the heat I managed to pick a full bucket, just under 6lbs. Berries are priced at $6lb and they do not take credit but you can pay via mobile with their venmo or paypal. They also take cash and checks. A few logistical things: the u-pick farm is owned and operated by local farmer's market mainstay, Tantre Farms. It's a no spray/pesticide free farm which means there are some weeds and tall grasses around. Some of the weeds are spikey thistle. They're easy to avoid but, because most people avoid them, I found a plethora of beautiful ripe berries around them. So it might not hurt to bring some gloves if you're like me and don't mind working a little harder for the good stuff. And because it can get muddy and there are other weeds and things in the rows wearing comfortable, close-toed shoes (that you don't mind getting dirty) are recommended. My only quibble is that I wish the containers for picking were the cardboard flats and not the plastic buckets with bags.The plastic bags don't allow for the air circulation you need to keep them fresher longer and in transferring them to another container I found I had smushed more than a few. Also, piling them all into the bucket puts weight on the ones at the bottom of the bucket/bag so they're smushed there, too. A small quibble but one they'll consider having the flats as an option. But of course if you're buying a large volume for jam making they're all gonna get smushed anyway sooooo.... Anyway, I'm not sure how much longer they have left in the season so if you're reading this around the time that it was posted I'd check their website for picking updates. They also offer raspberry picking so if you miss your strawberry window you might be able to scoop some of those up instead!

The whole family headed down that way recently to take advantage of the in-season fruit. It was our first time visiting Honey Bee, and we can't wait to return. After grabbing a bucket, we sauntered through the small bushes and picking ripe red berries. After we had picked everything that we could fit into the bucket, we headed back to the barn and grabbed some pre-picked vegetables to go with everything. Finn the dog welcomed us and let us pat his belly before we headed out. The berries were wonderful - so sweet and unlike anything you'll find in a store. Definitely worth a trip!

My family has toured metro Detroit's cider mills; unfortunately, the cider at this location tasted more like apple juice, but was redeemed by the donuts, which had small apple chunks in them. No bathrooms on site except an accessible Porta john. The cashier had extreme difficulty checking out customers and selecting items, but was friendly and made good conversation despite. The parking situation is unfriendly to those in wheelchairs or crutches; a large gravel lot, which becomes grass closer to the building, has no marked handicapped parking, hence my hesitation to give it 4 or 5 stars. Otherwise, it was relatively busy maintaining around 20 to 25 people inside at any given time, so clearly this place is well liked.

There's Flea Market Rescue in downtown Dryden, She-Shed in Metamora. Chic antiques in Almont. I believe it was while at Flea Market Rescue I found out about here. So happy that I was able to go there the day I was out with my daughter! There was some event thing going on so these plus a few others were all having something the same day. Two Hens is located down a dirt road-fyi. But it's not that far down and the road has been fine every time I've been there. They do well with parking and signage and if you can't park in front there is ample parking in back. Everything is located in the big barn-you CANT miss it! The first time going here, I was in love with the stuff they had plus they have lights hanging up which is a nice touch. They do a cute setup with coffee, small bottled water. Sometimes snacks! Debbie, Diana, and Myriah are the 3 ladies who own this business. They really make shopping here a treat! They are so awesome and always ready to welcome you and have a conversation. I can't say enough about the 2 that I have met! (Debbie and Myriah) So on to what they sell. This is a Vintage shopping experience. You will find furniture, home decorations, all kinds of interesting stuff that is very reasonably priced. They are not open every weekend, just to inform you. You can follow them on Facebook and they announce from there what weekends they will be open. They are CLOSED RIGHT NOW FOR THE WINTER, but will be back open in MAY 2025. I just went to their last event of the year, it was CHRISTMAS IN THE BARN. Now that I've been here this year only missing one event they had, I knew to go the first night which was Ladies Night. I took my sister along knowing she would love it there and not to my surprise.....she bought ALOT! Furniture, sparkly Christmas trees, Santa's. Add my stuff to hers and her big SUV was filled to the brim! It was a very festive event with a special drink, delicious snacks, water. Enjoyable atmosphere and meeting great people. I think not only were we first in line but after loading up went back in and bought more! (Making us probably close to the last ones there!) I can't say enough about Two Hens & a Chick. It's just a great place with great people and great finds!!
