U-Pick fruit is a great, inexpensive family adventure, and often a favorite with kids. Bring the whole family to experience the joy of harvesting some of Michigan's finest quality fruit!  You'll create lasting memories as you leave behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life to spend some magical time together in our orchards.   And, our visitors claim that when they pick their own fruit, it simply tastes better ... 

Our family-owned, family-friendly farm market and orchards are located just 10 miles south of Charlevoix on US-31 in Atwood, Michigan (directions), and we offer seasonal u-pick strawberries, cherries, and apples.   See approximate seasonal availability for U-Pick fruits below.

Other attractions here at Friske's Farm Market depending upon the event or season include:  guided wagon rides, orchard walks, agricultural activities, farm animal petting zoo, large kids playground, music and entertainment, an old-world bakery, a restaurant cafe, and a plethora of unique specialty food and gift shopping.
