Take a bite of any farm-fresh fruit or vegetable in Michigan and you'll never want to buy store-bought again! Dozens of roadside markets and pick-your-own farms offer you sun-ripened and rain-sweetened goodness in a wide variety of produce.

In fact southwestern Michigan's temperate climate has helped Michigan to lead the nation in growing tart cherries and blueberries and to be one of the top ten states for apples, plums, sweet cherries, asparagus, grapes, snap green beans, pears, strawberries, sweet corn, cauliflower, peaches, cucumbers and wine!

So plan to enjoy some good, outdoor fun when you visit any of the Michigan farms. And plan to bring home bushels of mouth-watering freshness!
