"The Orchard Express"
"Family Fun On the Farm"
A little about us:
Our mission at Country Mill Farms is to
create an environment for "family fun on the farm." Since 1871, our
apple orchard has been owned and operated by families. In 1971, our
family purchased the farm and continued the tradition of preserving the
experience of farm life. We continue to be the only farm in
mid-Michigan where you can fully enjoy the farm experience of picking your own fresh
apples and pumpkins. Since summer of 2008, a portion of our farm has
been certified organic. We are continually working to become good
stewards of our land and environment. Learn more about

Be sure to join us for Pick a Peck for People during our Harvest Festival in October. We will donate all the apples that you can pick to local area food banks. Last year 4,000 pounds of apples were picked and donated in just four hours! You can help bring fresh fruit to local families during the holidays. We encourage you to bring a group of friends and join the fun.
"Local food banks accept donated apples that are picked by volunteers like
you."
The Country Mill appreciates all charitable and non-profit organizations that make a positive difference in our local community.
