Fresh apples at our Central Lake market until spring
Our M-88 Home Farm Market in Central Lake is open year-round, with fresh Michigan apples in the market all winter long. Here are a few more ways to enjoy them.
Saucin' Days
Skip the peeling. Pre-order apples already peeled, cored, and sliced for pies and sauce, then pick them up at the M-88 Home Farm Market.
Fresh apples, shipped home
Can’t make the drive? We ship fresh Northern Michigan apples to 48 states, with Honeycrisp available into February.
Visit the farm market
Stop in any time of year for fresh apples, cider, and farm goodies at the M-88 Home Farm Market. This fall, pick your own pumpkins from the pumpkin yard while you’re here.
