"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.
