Crane Orchards
This orchard is nestled in the heart of Fennville sitting on a 200 acre family farm.
They offer over 17 varieties of apples and other fruits during different seasons. During the fall season you can catch a hayride that will string you across the farm, run through their corn maze, and stop for lunch at the restaurant located right on the farm for their famous apple cider and pie!
This is a perfect place to make you feel like a kid again!
