Northern Michigan is teeming with fruit. Orchards and berry patches line the rolling stretch of lakeshore between Charlevoix and Traverse City, and each orchard boasts its own little roadside stand filled with the abundance of summer.
For a brief week or two, almost everything is in season at once: raspberries and blackberries, cherries and blueberries, peaches and apricots and plums, all grown right here in the Northern Fruitlands.
I’ve been recommending this drive to customers in our Charlevoix store for almost a week now. Each fruit stand has its own personality and unique offerings — golden raspberries at one, Balaton cherries at another, or the season’s first tree-ripened peaches, fresh from the field.
If you’re in Northern Michigan this summer, add a stop at one of our roadside fruit stands to your must-do list. And bring a big basket.
Hello Megan at Spoon!
I’ve been a fan for years as I summered every year at Walloon Lake.
Just thought you might want to know that I am offering an American Spoon giveaway on my blog this month. I already have the lovely box of preserves and hope it brings you some new business.
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for featuring us on your blog! Hope your giveaway is a huge success.
