We loved this orchard SO much!…read more I couldn't believe the amount of fun, free entertainment packed into this farm. We ended up spending nearly three hours bopping our way between activities and snacking. We enjoyed cider, a variety of donuts (including apple cider and pumpkin with cream cheese icing), a big ole bag of "seconds" apples that were in great condition, paid for the four wheeler/train ride through the peaches and much more. The kids especially loved the goats, slide, tractor ride through the property and corn "Sand box". Bathrooms and snack stands were plentiful and clean throughout the front portion of the farm. The staff was all very engaged and friendly as well. I loved that this spot didn't feel cheesy or over commercialized like some orchards can become. It was truly perfect. Can't recommend it enough.

I've been to Schwallier's a couple times now and have had a lovely experience each time! If you…read moredon't get there right at open (or close to it), parking will be very hectic. While they have someone guiding you most of the time, people visiting are not always the most mindful and don't let you out to give up your spot. There is only one entrance/exit for cars, so I think they need to be a little bit more upfront with the flow of traffic and constantly have someone guiding everyone to ensure that parking isn't backed up. There are pumpkins, tracker rides, a little parade car for kids (and adults can fit too) and a play area for the kids. I think it's the perfect place to grab donuts, cider, pick some apples and grab your pumpkin. Just be warned that some areas may be more hectic than others, but that's what you get with a sunny October weekend!

I literally can't rave enough about this incredible farm! We spent 6 hours here today with our 8 &…read more6 year old and they still weren't ready to leave. The farm is absolutely meticulously maintained. I notice those little details and clearly, they take them serious. It's clean, beautiful, and so thoughtfully laid out with conveniently placed bathrooms and food options. It's clear serious thought has been put into activities and infrastructure at this farm. There is SO MUCH for all ages to do! Again, our kids would've stayed to play for several more hours if we had let them. The food options were delicious! Don't miss their lemonade and carne asada tacos! We also loved their home-cooked kettle chips! The coffee was so good my husband went back for a second one before we le What an absolute gem for this area to have! Highly recommend spending a day at this incredible farm while you're in the area!

The flavor profile was not too sweet, so creamy, light and airy yet decadent. The perfect blueberry flavor. The sandwich was also very good. The scone could have been skipped.

On the other hand, we had the blueberry pesto pizza which was fantastic. Really unique flavor, not overpoweringly blueberry. Definitely admitting I was surprised at how much I liked the pizza. I think Bowerman's is now going to be a regular addition to our Michigan trips!

Good thing they asked if I had a question! I got my answer and received my Apple. Yay! They have some stands that make coffee and breakfast and lunch items but I had already eaten. Next time I'll try some of the food stands. I walked the whole market up one side and down the other. There is a small portion that is indoors. All in all, I spent about 20-30 min there. I grabbed some baked goods and some handmade goods as well. The vendors do have bags but I recommend you bring your own. Some take cash, all take credit. There is some cover if there is rain. Parking is plentiful and free!

The service is always incredible and it's always under crowded which is a huge win in our book. Their prices, you just can't beat $11/peck of apples. That's ridiculously incredible. They also have events at their farm-- concerts where they sell hard ciders with a sandwich, to puppy happy hour, to story time for kids... they're definitely a special place. The property is so well kept and clean throughout-- they make it a no brainer to come back! And for the love of everything, grab their homemade donuts.

There is a really nice picnic seating area out front to enjoy your treats with your favorites folks. A very aesthetically please, peaceful worming farm with fun for the kids and adults alike. They offer freshly picked blueberries and take out items such as jams, jellies, salsas, sweets, pastries, blueberries by the jar or box, and more. Plenty of take out gifts to choose from. THE very freshest blueberries you will find on the road. The coffee is the very best I had on the entire trip around the lake from Chicago north and back south. My buddy couldn't stop raving about the coffee the entire trip and he's the kind of guy who will drive up from Chicago just to grab a cup or two. All in all a great stop for multiple sweet reasons. Stop in, there's plenty of parking.

We have done many farms/orchards and this one was bottom of the list unfortunately. We dropped by the winery and it felt like you were transported to a 2004 club with the tacky lights mixed with a clammy dungeon feel. Although it was $10 for 5 tastings, the ambiance negated the price. (The only decently priced feature.) If you have kids, they will for sure be stimulated and you're good to go. But otherwise for adults that want delicious cider, donuts and a calm u-pick experience, check out Famhaus Farms for a cleaner and more serene experience.
