Strawberry U-Pick is now open for the season!  Grab the family and head on down to pick some berries! Please note that we do not offer Cherry U-pick at this time, as the cherries aren't fully grown yet. As well as that, we may close U-Pick for inclement weather conditions. Please call ahead  to verify if U-Pick is open!
Enjoy those berries!

Looking to stay warm this winter? Want to make the Holiday BBQ that will be talked about for generations to come?

Pre-Cut. Available for pickup at location only. Offer available while supplies last.

From December 25th, 2022, to January 1st,  2023, Verellen Orchards will be closed. We will Re-Open January 2nd, 2023. We are sorry for any inconveniences this may cause. The Verellen Orchards Staff and Management wish you a happy Holidays  and a happy New Year! See you in 2023! 

Starting 7/4/2021, Strawberry and Cherry U-Pick   is closed until next June. At the time of this post,  we are all out of Strawberries, but we have plenty of Cherries available for sale in store. Get yours while supplies last!

A frequently asked question is if we offer U-Pick for Apples, Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, and Plums. The short answer is that no, we do not offer U-Pick for any of these varieties of fruit for multitudes of reasons. We only offer U-Pick on ​​STRAWBERRIES and ​CHERRIES when they are in season. However, all varieties of the fruit we grow will be available for sale in store when they are in season.

Thank you all for one of the biggest U-Pick seasons in the last few years. We here at Verellen Orchards are happy to provide your families with memories that will last a lifetime.

With the   recent  COVID-19 outbreak in our home state of Michigan, many people have raised their concerns regarding the health and safety of our employees and the success of our business. We are following CDC guidelines to try and keep Verellen Orchards safe for both our customers and employees.  Despite  the outbreak,  WE INTEND TO REMAIN OPEN  unless otherwise noted.   To do this, we are taking extra measures  of sanitation and general safety, one of this is the introduction of a Curb-Side   Pickup of our products,  of which I will list more information about below. Additionally, I will include links to information about   the virus, as well as how to keep both yourself and others safe.  On the behalf of our family and business, I wish  the best of luck to all during these troubling times.  
Best of Luck,
Verellen Orchards

4/22/20 update
As the COVID-19 epidemic rages on, more and more questions are being raised regarding many aspects of our business.  We are still open, as we are deemed essential for the distribution of food. We are continuing our   Curb-Side pickup, but some slight changes have been made to the Curb Side pickup procedure, which I will list below. The most significant change was pickup times, which has  been moved to the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.   As well as this change, we are now selling additional produce   for your convenience. A full list of what we are carrying will be below.   We are also enforcing a building occupancy limit of 5 people at one time. This is to help to ensure the safety of both our staff and customers. We have  been maintaining a strict and rigorous schedule of sanitizing surfaces once every hour.   We have installed a plexiglass  shield in front of the front counter  to  help with the separation between our customers and our staff, to help ensure the safety of both parties involved. Finally, to be better safe than sorry, we are having our staff wear masks and gloves while interacting  with customers, as has become the new normal  procedure during these trying times. We will keep you updated if anything else changes. We hope you and your families are doing well in these times. Stay safe!

6/23/20 Update
In recent news, 6/2/2020 marked the 100 year anniversary of the founding of Verellen Orchards. We would like to thank all of our staff and customers for making  the past 100 years so memorable!
As the state of Michigan begins to Re-Open, we would like to remind our customers to continue the use of safe  practices and measures to protect against the spread of COVID-19. These measures include social distancing of at least 6 feet, regular hand-washing and other hygiene routines, wearing a mask and public, and staying home if you feel ill.  At Verellen Orchards, we wish to provide a safe environment for both our customers and our workers.
On that note, Strawberry season and U-Pick have started. For U-Pick, we have added additional measures to help maintain the health and  safety of our staff and customers. We have installed two sinks for public use on the side of the U-Pick building. Even out in the Strawberry Field, we would like to encourage  Public Health and Safety. To this end, we would like to  ask our customers to please maintain social distancing while picking Strawberries.  
Unfortunately, we will not be offering Cherry U-Pick this year for two main reasons. First, our  Cherry crop has been devastated by the  very late spring this year, causing an incredibly low crop yield.  Our other crops seem to have made it out relatively intact,  but we expect about a two week delay for every upcoming Fruit Season. Second, it would be close to impossible to social distance whilst picking cherries.  The trees are planted relatively close together, in a more confined area, (unlike the Strawberries).  The frequent use of ladders of this activity also would make our sanitation effort much harder to maintain.  So, what's next for the Cherries?
Well, we will be selling what little of our crop we have in store. Otherwise, weather provided, we plan to offer Cherry U-Pick next year  .
Stay safe out there!
