This is especially true at Corey Lake Orchards of Three Rivers.
Owned and operated by the Hubbard family for almost 50 years, it has become a premiere place for all things fresh-picked.
Focusing nearly half a century on growing premium fruit and produce — for both your table and their own — the Hubbard family has built a solid reputation for applying the best care and attention into every crop it grows.
Situated conveniently near the M-60 and U.S. 131 intersections, Corey Lake Orchards offers a bounty to bite on all season long.
Now run by founding father, Dayton Hubbard, and his daughter, Beth, Corey Lake Orchards market opens early in May, filled with fresh-picked asparagus so tender and tasty it will leave your tongue tingling with delight.
Also on hand are earth-grown, greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers — two near impossible fresh finds this time of year.
The tomatoes and cucumbers are quickly followed by baskets brimming with super, sun-ripened strawberries.
Bright, plump and delicious, these homegrown goodies can only be trumped by the sensations of sweet and tart cherries that come along mid-June.
By late June, the market is mounded with a marvelous mix of crisp, mouth-watering delights.
With gorgeous snap green beans and field-fresh cucumbers there’s also sweet and superb summer squash sitting alongside piles of ripened peppers.
July adds its own layer of fabulous, fresh-picked flavor with additions of sweet kernelled corn and summer-crisp apples. There’s also field-ripened tomatoes, berries, melons, peaches, potatoes and the largest sweet Spanish onions you may ever see.
Come fall you will find apples and pears, grapes and squashes, which close out the growing season.
Corey Lake Orchards also offers some varieties with a U-pick option, which allows you to pick them yourself, giving you the absolute freshest flavor possible. Now in his 80s, the orchards’ founder, Dayton Hubbard, is still quite busy with farming and passing all his farming wisdoms to his daughter and her children.
That insures quality will continue to be Corey Lake Orchards’ No. 1 priority, selling only that which they have grown and picked. That guarantees the customer always gets produce at its very best.
