Popping up during our winter dormant season to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who voted for us in the GRKIDS Family Choice Awards! We are a finalist in the Fave Things To Do - Fall Farm/Apple Orchard category and we couldn't be more honored. We love welcoming LOTS of you to our farm for fall fun!

Voting for the winner goes until March 4—we'd love if you'd cast a vote for us! https://grkids.com/family-favorites-voting/ #/gallery?group=535817

And while this current season is a quieter one for us, don't be fooled—our trees are doing their deep growing and will be ready to produce beautiful apples ripe for the picking later this year! We can't wait to see you again!

Give us your opinion on what's best in Grand Rapids for our annual Grandtastic Awards!
