Thatโ€™s a wrap for the holiday season!

Our lightshow is now closed for the season, with many more holiday seasons filled with lights ahead of us in the coming years.

As we wrap up the 2023 year, we at Crane Orchards thank each and every one of you that have come out to support us this year. Whether it was for Cherries, Peaches, Apples, or the Lightshow, we are grateful for you all. We are able to do what we love because of the love and support you all show us.

With that being said, it has been a long summer, fall and winter, growing fruit and preparing the lightshow; so we are now going to spend some much needed downtime with our families before weโ€™re back at it shortly prepping for the growing season. We wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Weโ€™ll see you in the summer for cherries and peaches! ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ‘

We are sorry to update but due to the warm weather and rain, we will be closed for our Lightshow Friday December 1st. The rain has mixed with our dirt roads (remember, weโ€™re a farm ๐Ÿ˜‰) and has turned them into muddy messes. We donโ€™t want anyone to get stuck, so we are working hard to fix this issue. We hope to be open again Saturday night! We will post an update tomorrow to confirm. Thank you for understanding, and we hope to see you tomorrow night!

1865 was the first year our family planted roots on this land.
1885 was the first year that we started commercially farming.
2000 was the first year that we opened as a U-Pick orchard.
2001 was the first year we opened our corn maze.
2003 was the first year that we premiered our featured haunted corn maze.
2020 was the first year we planted our pumpkin patch.
2023 we are proud to announce as our first year for our Drive-Thru Holiday Lightshow!

Today is the big day! ๐ŸŽ„
We have poured our hearts and souls, a bit of sweat, a few tears, and every bit of free time weโ€™ve had apart from farming, into creating a very special experience for our customers. We have thousands of hours into building hundreds of props and have decorated our orchard into a winter wonderland (farm-style). We hope that everyone enjoys seeing our orchard in a season that they typically donโ€™t get the chance to. While we may not be the largest lightshow around, we can certainly say that we have a unique show, with props pulling inspiration from farming, pop culture, and the seasons. We look forward to creating more and continuing to grow our show. We canโ€™t wait to share the holiday seasons with you starting this year!

We canโ€™t wait to share the rest with you starting this Wednesday!

The weather is getting colder, and although we are wrapping up the fall season for our U-Pick and Corn maze October 28th, we are excited to announce something new that weโ€™ve been working on for the last two years!

This year we are excited to announce our *first ever* drive-thru Holiday Light Show! ๐ŸŽ„

Beginning November 29th through New Years Eve (wed-sun) load up the car with friends and family and join us for a scenic one mile drive through our orchard, lit with holiday lights, decor, and props. Every prop has been laboriously hand-crafted, painted, and lit by Taylor, Trevor, and Kevin (Santaโ€™s helpers) over the last two years; so a lot of love has been poured into creating a special experience for our guests.

We canโ€™t wait to share this with you, and look forward to seeing you this winter at our orchard!

Today is the day! Honeycrisp open for u-pick this morning! ๐ŸŽ

We have a beautiful crop of Honeycrisp this year with plenty to pick, but as always it is better to get them sooner rather than later as we cannot predict when they will end, since it all depends on the crowds we see that come out to pick them.

We are also currently picking Golden Supreme, Gala, Blondee, and Macintosh varieties.

Open 10am-6pm daily weather permitting, through close to the end of October for the season.

Our Story

This history really starts in the 1880s when what is now Crane Orchards, was cleared and planted by H.H. Hutchins. Since the property included frontage on a beautiful inland lake, the lake itself was named Hutchins Lake.

In 1917 a young Michigan Agricultural College graduate and his wife, Muriel (who also graduated from M.A.C.) started on their life journey together here at Crane Orchards. They lived, loved and farmed here together, raising a family and helping to build the community of Fennville until H.B.s death in 1968. Muriel followed him in 1974.

In 1950, their youngest son Robert returned from the Navy and married Lue. They farmed together and raised kids. Their sons Gary and Rob are both farmers today. Gary and his wife Sandy own Gary Crane Farm across the road from Crane Orchards. Rob, along with his wife Maria and Robโ€™s dad are partners at Crane Orchards.
