Farm Tours

From blossom time in early May until the last apple of frosty October, Mother Nature offers her very best at Tree-Mendus Fruit.

We first opened Tree-Mendus Fruit to visitors in 1969. Since then, thousands of people have toured our rolling farmland and enjoyed the fruits of our orchards.

Tree-Mendus Fruit is a 450 acre working fruit farm...a recreation area, a nature preserve. It is a lifetime away from crowded streets, noisy traffic and everyday hassles.

We provide a unique experience-a blend of rustic nature with the conveniences tour groups demand. Tree-Mendus Fruit is a family-owned operation, and we like to keep the family atmosphere in everything we do.

THE GUIDED ORCHARD TOUR
Your guide will ride along on your coach to tell you about the farm, its geology and history and a little about why we raise so many fine fruits and vegetables at this northern latitude.

We often demonstrate the grafting, pruning and harvesting techniques we use to grow the best quality fruit.

During early July, you can pick your own cherries. There are facilities to wash chill your cherries before you leave. They can be pitted for you, while you watch, by our automatic cherry pitting machine which can remove the pits from a ton of cherries per hour.

Then you may top off your visit with a delicious home-cooked chicken dinner. It’s truly country-style chicken with all the trimmings-including a fruit dessert. If you don’t want a whole meal, choose our "Cherry Brite Waffle Boat"- a delicious dessert featuring Tree-Mendus Fruit’s Cherry Brite Topping.

THE TREE-MENDUS COUNTRY WAGON TOUR
If you prefer an open-air excursion around the farm, you may leave your coach and settle into the cushioned seats of our comfortable Country "Folkswagon" for your guided tour. This unique wagon has a roof too, so even a summer shower won’t dampen your spirits.

You can try your hand at harvesting whatever is in season, apples, cherries, peaches, pears, nectarines, plums and apricots. (Tree-Mendus Fruit has one of the largest apricot plantings in the Midwest.)

THE TREE-MENDUS FRUIT MARKET
While here, you can take a little of the country home with you in the form of apple butter or fresh cider, made from apples grown on our farm. You can find these and many other goodies in the Tree House Country Store stocked with unique gifts to remind you of your day at Tree-Mendus.
