U-Pick Squash

Now Open

Much like peas and pea pods, squash is great for soups and eating sautéed. You can substitute squash for grain pasta and create some delicious low-carb dishes. Squash can also be grilled or roasted, releasing natural sugars within.

U-Pick Pea Pods

now open

The air is smelling green and sweet at The Orchard. Peas and pea pods are great for soups/stews, risottos/pastas, salads, sautés and of course, uncooked and delicious. Visit our location in Armada for a day of picking fresh pea pods!

HARVEST CALENDAR

U-Pick Rhubarb

Now Open

Fresh rhubarb season has arrived at Blake’s! Known for its bold tart flavor and beautiful spring color, rhubarb is a longtime favorite for pies, jams, baked goods, cocktails, and more. Wander the fields, harvest crisp stalks straight from the plant, and experience one of spring’s most nostalgic farm traditions. Starting around May 11th, enjoy the fresh flavors of the season and bring home a true taste of spring.

HARVEST CALENDAR

U-Pick Zucchini

now open

The heavyweight champion of the summer squash family is available for picking at the Orchard. Zucchini is 95% water so when preparing, it is best to sear instead of roast like you would a traditional squash. All the pastry chefs out there know how great zucchini can be and a freshly baked zucchini bread, a favorite among most. Whatever your intention is, come get your freshly picked zucchini while it lasts!
