Try some of our award winning cider today!   Combined with a dozen of Schultz’s freshly made donuts, this combination is tough to beat!

In 2010 we added our new state of the art Donut Depot.   Here is your one stop for freshly made donuts, hot apple cider, and coffee.   We take the care to make our donuts with no trans fats, so you don’t feel guilty when you eat one… or two.

Available end of September - October

Sold by 1/2 gallon and gallon. Apple Cider can be frozen.

You can enjoy fresh apple cider from your freezer all winter long if you follow some simple rules. Pour off about 1 cup of cider from each gallon jug to allow for expansion in freezing. It is better to freeze cider in plastic jugs. To thaw, leave at room temperature or in the refrigerator until completely thawed. Do not pour out liquid while there is still unmelted ice. Shake well.

Fresh Michigan asparagus can be cooked several ways.

• To steam in a saucepan, steamer or frying pan, put 1 pound of fresh asparagus spears or 2" asparagus pieces in 1/2 cup boiling water. Add salt, pepper and butter, if desired. Cover. Cook 5 to 8 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  
  
  
• To microwave fresh asparagus, put 1 pound fresh spears in a microwave-safe rimmed plate or shallow dish. Add 1/4 cup water and cover tightly. Microwave at 100% power for 4 to 7 minutes for spears, 3 to 5 minutes for pieces. Stir or turn halfway through the cooking time.
  
  
  
• For frozen asparagus, place frozen spears or pieces in a microwave-safe plate or shallow dish. If cooking whole spears, arrange with tips in the center. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover tightly. Microwave at 100% power for 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the quantity cooked. Spears take longer to cook than cut-up asparagus. Stir or rearrange the asparagus halfway through the cooking time.

Asparagus is a nutritional powerhouse with many health promoting benefits. It is one of the most nutritionally well-balanced vegetables, leading nearly all produce items in the wide array of nutrients it supplies for a healthy body.

• There are only 4 calories per medium spear or 20 calories per 1/2 cup serving.
  
  
  
• It's fat free, cholesterol free and is nature's true low carbohydrate food.
  
  
  
• Asparagus is a good source of potassium. It also is a source of fiber, providing 1 to 3 grams of fiber per serving.
  
  
  
• Asparagus has more folic acid than any other vegetable. Just one serving (about 1/2 cup or 4 medium spears) provides more than half of the recommended daily allowance of folic acid, which is also called folacin of vitamin B-9. Folacin is necessary for blood cell formation, growth and the prevention of liver disease and is associated with a decreased risk of neural tube birth defect. Increased amounts of folacin are recommended for pregnant women.
  
  
  
• Asparagus is a good source of vitamin C, a carotenoid that is a strong disease-fighting antioxidant.
  
  
  
• According to the National Cancer Institute, asparagus is a good source of glutathione, one of the body's most potent cancer fighters. Of all food tested, including vegetables, fruits, grains, and meats, none was higher in glutathione than asparagus.

One of the signs that Fall is upon us is the aroma of ripe concord grapes. We encourage you to take a ride through the countryside, roll down your windows, and smell the fruity essence of the unique Concord grape. We grow over 100 acres of grapes, so come on out and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Concord grapes may be used for juice, jam, wine, and fresh eating.

While we do grow several varieties of grapes, the Concord is our region's predominate grape. The concord is a distinct grape with unique health benefits. Because of the rich purple color in the berry skins and seeds, Concord grape juice contains high levels of antioxidants. For more information on concord grapes, you can visit www.welchs.com. We grow grapes for Welch's, St. Julian Winery, and for our farm market.

Available Mid-September
Picked or U-Pick.

Grapes are sold by the pound.
Concord (purple), Niagara (white), and Delaware (red) may be used for fresh eating, jelly, juice, and wine.

Other grape varieties:  

• Himrod- White, small, honey sweet berries.    
• Marquis- White, large, sweet and full of flavor.  
• Vanessa- Red, small, and delectably sweet.  
• Mars- Purple, large, and mild.  
  (All four of these varieties are seedless!)
  
  
• Chardonnel is a white wine variety.   Usually finished dry, this grape is a French hybrid cross of Chardonnay and Seyval.

Please call ahead for large orders (20 pounds or more).

Our honey is produced from hives that spend time on our farm.   Local honey is important because local honey helps fight allergies.   Within honey contains bits and pieces of local pollen.   Therefore when you consume raw local honey, you expose your system to minute amounts of local allergens.   Gradually, this helps build up your immune system.   Among many other health benefits, honey also contains antioxidants.
