Trees dotted with juicy apples & fields filled with perfect carving pumpkins — these u-pick orchards & farms in Grand Rapids are ripe with fall adventures, families!

Frugthaven Farm: 120 acres of autumn magic, including 100 acres of apples, a bakery, boutique, Kaffebar, and hard cidery. Sip hot cider (or a caramel apple latte, or locally roasted Madcap coffee) and snack on fresh, house-made donuts while you wander around the gorgeous property. Pull a wagon through the u-pick pumpkin patch, grab a seat by the bonfire, and enjoy a peaceful fall day on the farm. Watch for special pop-up events from makers markets to live music on the lawns!

Robinette’s Apple Haus & Winery: 125 acres of orchards, 100+ years of growing tradition. Stroll the grounds during u-pick season to harvest from 35 varieties of apples, take a haywagon ride or try the corn maze, and time your trip to catch Petting Zoo Sundays in September & October. Be sure to see the cider mill in action and swing by the Apple Haus for fresh cider and a pumpkin spice donut!

Schwallier’s Country Basket: Family-owned farm market & orchard at the heart of West Michigan’s apple capital! U-pick from 15 apple varieties — Jonagold to Golden Delicious — choose your future jack-o-lantern from the patch, and bite into delicious, fresh apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice donuts. Kids will love the cow train ride, straw mountain, and farm animal barn, “big kids” will love the chance to book an after-hours private corn maze & group bonfire experience!

Ed Dunneback & Girls Farm: U-pick apples & pumpkins galore, fourth-generation family-owned farm. Grab hot cider (or frozen cider slushies) and warm, fresh donuts (or cool donut ice cream sandwiches).

Post Family Farm: 80 acres of harvest-time fun on a beautiful, old-fashioned farm. Take a hayride to the u-pick pumpkin patch, explore the corn maze, and let the kids try a pumpkin train and pony rides! There are kiddie corral play areas, giant tube slides, and friendly farm animals to see — plus homemade pumpkin donuts and award-winning apple cider to sip by the bonfire!

Red Barn Market: Family-owned market on a centennial apple farm! Have a ball at the Barnyard — and meet horses and donkeys, sheep, chickens, and goats — then visit the Farm Store for nostalgic candies or the ice cream parlor for old-fashioned sodas and milkshakes!

Moelker Orchards & Farm Market: Pick your own fruit & pumpkins on a scenic, century-old farm! Listen to the clip-clop of horses’ hooves on a wagon ride around the orchard, then pick a peck or half-bushel from seven apple varieties, McIntosh to Honeycrisp. Thick, creamy fudge and fresh donuts from the Old Bell Bakery top off a perfect fall day on the farm!
