"There is a time for everything----time to plant and a time to uproot". After 42 seasons, DeKleine Orchards has decided it is time to remove the last of our cherry trees. We will no longer grow cherries. The cherries have been a wonderful venture meeting new friends, working the soil, tending cherry trees, and hiring over 100 high school students.
DeKleine Orchards continues to be one of Michigan's premier producers of Chestnuts and look forward to seeing you each October. Keep watch for further updates as we are considering planting another fruit crop. Better yet, stop in and say hello. Art and Carl DeKleine.

We only sell sweet and tart cherries in the summer. We do not sell any other fruit or vegetables.

We would like to thank our customers and friends for their support and encouragement this year. We wish you an enjoyable holiday season. May your search for other summer fruits and vegetables be rewarding.
