Concord Ridge Fruit Farms

A cozy shelter for our feathered friends!

Happy New Year to all!  Wishing all of our customers a happy and healthy 2012! I think everyone really enjoyed our mild December with just a trace of snowfall.  But unfortunately all good things have to come to an end. Today, Southwest Michigan got hammered with our first lake effect snow event with strong winds, bitter cold temps, and significant snowfall. We are thankful that we did get alot accomplished in the month of December because of the mild weather such as trimming apple trees and grape vines.  Even though no one likes the cold temperatures, the crops do need to “rest” before they wake up again in the spring. We are just hoping it does not get too terribly cold!

The first snowfall is always a beautiful one so we hope you enjoy these pictures of our farm!

First snowfall of the year covers our freshly trimmed vineyard.

After an unusually mild December, we finally get our first snow storm on Jan. 2nd!

We have officially closed for the 2011 season. Thank you to all of our loyal customers who come back each year to visit. We met a lot of new customers this year, too, and hope to see everyone back next Spring when asparagus season begins! Even though it was a very late Spring, it really did turn out to be a good year for our crops and for that we are so very thankful.

Beautiful pumpkins available for all of your fall decorating needs!
