FIND US

The Wunsch Family has been growing cherries and apples on the Old Mission Peninsula for over a century, and now have cherry and strawberry picking open to our community every summer.

We are excited to be reopening a U-pick operation on the historic site of Wilson Orchards, just a short drive or bike ride from downtown Traverse City. We will have cherry picking (dark sweets, tarts and rainiers), strawberry picking, pre picked dark sweet cherries for purchase, plus some treats like honey and syrup available at the stand.

Delicious fruit, stunning bay views, and tranquil, breezy orchards are the cherry on top of any Up North weekend.

Whether you are looking to go on a walk during a tour of the Old Mission Peninsula or buying cherries to take home, we will help you select the perfect fruit to meet your needs. Dark sweet, light sweet, and baking cherries are all abundantly available in our orchard!

Wunsch Farms Apple Donation Campaign Update:

Happy Thanksgiving neighbors!

As the harvest season draws to a close, we wanted to give our community an update on the great outcomes of the Wunsch Farms apple donation match campaign. Thanks to your support of the program, some larger block contributions, and some additional matching that we decided to do from the farm, we were able to donate 51,206 lbs of apples from our farm to Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan and 84,640 lbs of apples to Feeding America of West Michigan over the course of the past three months.

We are deeply grateful for the community’s overwhelming support of this program, and wanted to thank you for helping our farm as well as to congratulate you for your contributions to getting nearly 500,000 individual apples into the hands of folks who need them the most.

Thanks again for your support of the donation match program and for taking the time to visit us at our u-pick and farm market. Best wishes to you for a Happy Thanksgiving and holiday season.
