Liked this place a lot. We used to go apple picking each Fall at Tree-mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, MI but they closed up two years ago. So in looking for a new venue we came across Corey Lake and thought we'd give it a try. Glad we did. One thing to remember with Corey Lake is that it is split into two locations: one is the actual orchard where you can pick apples and a number of grape varieties, and the second is the market where they sell a number of fruit and veggie products, already picked items, pies, jellies, doughnuts, cider, pumpkins, and the like. The market also has a little play area for youngsters. The orchard is just a short drive from the market and is worth the trip. They offer a number of varieties of apples and the rows are pretty well marked. On balance we thought Corey Lake had fewer trees/acres than Tree-mendus but had nicer prices. At the orchard you check in at a Quonset hut and purchase a bag size (1/2 bushel, 1 peck, 1/2 peck), then you walk/drive out to fill your bag. If you are planning ahead you may want to bring a bucket to put your bag in ... the partially filed bag gets unwieldy after a while. If you you find you don't need the bag or size you bought, you can change it on the way out, so their pricing is very fair. You have the option to pay for your apples back at the market, but most pay right there in the Quonset hut ... so you don't have to visit the market, but do since it was fun. The market had very nice pies and a lot of items from the surrounding Amish areas. The market is a fresh fruit and veggie heaven and is worth the stop. Corey Lake Orchards is a nice weekend trip on a Fall day - recommended. read more
