About This Farm
Radke's Orchards at Michigan City has decided what it is not, and says so: "No petting zoo, no carnival, no water park." What it offers instead is "great apples in a country atmosphere".
What You Can Pick
Apples, from Labor Day weekend through the end of October.
Good to Know
No admission fees. Open 8:30am to 5:30pm, central time.
And unusually for an orchard: pets are welcome. Almost every farm on this site bans them.
Pro tip: this and Heinz Orchard at Green Oaks are the two farms in this region that have deliberately refused to become theme parks. If a Saturday in October with 4,000 people and a corn maze is your idea of a bad time, these are the two to drive to.
