Gavin Orchards works 240 acres at Coopersville, west of the Ridge on the road out toward the lake, and sells to commercial markets as well as to the public. Its stated aim is to grow quality produce "while profoundly respecting our environment".
Summer squash is grown here too.
The orchard sells online through a Barn2Door store as well as at the farm, so pre-picked fruit can be ordered ahead.
No opening hours are published anywhere, so ring 616-837-6472 before setting out.
The farm publishes no price. Ring 616-837-6472 if you need to know before you go.
Pro tip: a 240-acre commercial orchard opening its rows to the public means the trees are managed for yield rather than for show, and the picking is correspondingly quick.
Our own assessment, scored the same way for every farm on the site, from what each farm publishes about itself. Not a visit, and not a public review score.
