Welcome to Tree-Mendus Fruit, reporting on what's going on here at the orchard. The Tree-Mendus Fruit country market is open for the season. Our hours are Wed-Mon, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. If you are visiting us for u-pick harvesting, the orchard closes at 5:30 pm (Michigan time) so plan to arrive early enough to collect your harvest. After Labor Day weekend, we will begin our fall hours, Friday through Monday, 10-6. If you have any questions or want to place any orders you may call during regular office hours or you may also send us an e-mail at treemendus@qtm.net.
The peach harvesting season is over. We will have some available in our market while supplies last. Apple picking time has arrived and we are harvesting varieties like, Red Free, Golden Supreme and more. We have many varieties available in our country store as well. Here at Tree-Mendus Fruit we grow over 200 varieties of apples. I'll bet we have your favorite. Many will be becoming ready daily, it's best to call when looking for a specific variety. The extremely warm summer has helped many varieties of fruit to ripen earlier than the regular harvesting time. Please be aware of this while looking for your favorite, we don't want you to miss it.
In our country store you will find an assortment of fresh plums and pears. This fruit is harvested daily for you to purchase and take home some of that farm fresh flavor. Ask for samples when you arrive.
The tart cherry harvest has come to an end. We do have a supply of fresh washed, sorted, and pitted tart cherries frozen if you didn't make it to pick your own this year. We have a perfect pie size container, (2lb) and a 10lb containter available. We also have sweet and tart cherry juice made with our own Tree-Mendus cherries and it's 100% natural.
This summer has been really warm as you may already know. These warm temps that mother nature has brought us has moved many varieties of fruit up to 2 weeks early from their normal ripening dates. Please take note of this for your favorite varieties of upcoming plums, apples, and pears. We wouldn't want you to miss them.
We have many fruit trees available for you to purchase and start your own orchard in your back yard. Many of the varieties we plant in our own orchards will be available for you.
The results are in for the 37th annual International
Cherry Pit-Spitting
