Michigan farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash and gathered wild berries. European settlers discovered that areas near the Great Lakes were perfect for growing fruit because the water keeps temperatures mild. Michigan became famous for cherries, apples, and blueberries that grow especially well in the lake-effect climate. The state also grows more varieties of apples than almost anywhere else in America.
Michigan is surrounded by Great Lakes that create a special climate perfect for growing fruit. The western shore gets lake-effect snow in winter and cool breezes in summer that fruit trees love. Northern Michigan has sandy soil that's perfect for cherries and other stone fruits. Southern Michigan has richer soil that's good for apples, corn, and vegetables.
Michigan cherries are world-famous and ready to pick in June and July when they're sweet and perfect for pies. You can pick blueberries from July through September when they're plump and sweet. Apple orchards produce many different varieties from August through October. Michigan also grows great peaches, plums, and pears that ripen in late summer.
Summer and early fall are the best times to visit Michigan farms when cherries, berries, and apples are ripe. The weather near the lakes is usually comfortable with cool breezes even on hot days. Many farms offer beautiful views of Lake Michigan or other lakes along with fresh fruit picking. Fall color season combines perfectly with apple picking for scenic farm visits.
