Friske Orchards, Charlevoix

West Michigan offers a plethora of agri-tourism opportunities! In the spring, savor fresh asparagus from the local farm markets. As spring turns to summer, visit a local u-pick farm for tart cherries or sweet blueberries! As the leaves start to change colors, visit an orchard for hayrides, honey crisp apples and cider. On a snowy winter morning, use fresh Michigan maple syrup to accompany your weekend pancake feast.

West Michigan farm markets, orchards, wineries, nature centers, gardens, petting zoos, creameries and more are all located here and welcome visitors to explore, enjoy and have an all around great time down on the farm!
