It may be hard to believe that a visit to our farm could fill an entire day. More often than not though, we find that people tend to linger and let the hours slip past unnoticed. Most of the time, these visitors are from the city and discover that they just love being on the farm and spending some time surrounded by nature.
We try to make it easy for visitors to spend all day with us. Throughout the orchards and the barn, youll find picnic tables and cozy spots to munch on our fresh produce or homemade jams. When weather permits, we bring entertainment to the farm or have sing-alongs on Fridays and Saturdays.
Come for a visit and lose track of time while you hunt for arrow heads. Or, take a walk to the woods and ravine at the end of the apple orchard. If youre very quiet and have a keen eye, youll be able to spot a variety of birds, deer of all sizes, wild turkey, raccoons, opossums and fox who all call this pristine land home. And, make sure you dont miss the Canadian geese that fly overhead everyday at about 7:20 am and 7:30 pm.
We think youll also find the quality and integrity of our produce and our people is demonstrated year round. Well be sure to let you know if anything we sell isnt up to par, and if the weathers been damaging, well try to keep the whining to a minimum. That is, except for June, and we just send her home if she keeps complaining. (She is of French heritage, after all!)
We hope youll come and enjoy our 160 year old Michigan ark barn. Let Ken, June, George and Sandy Stover of 2002 share a little of John and Sarah Stover of 1860 and the "Homestead near Arden."
