Out in the fields...

Oh what a rainy spring we have had!
Makes it very difficult to get into the fields to start planting our corn, pumpkins, and strawberries! However, we started yesterday working the ground for our strawberry plants that we are planting this spring. We have decided to put our new field behind the standard cherry orchard on the rolling hill. This makes things just slightly more difficult than planting on a flat field however, we are planting on a terrace style, to make sure irrigation and drainage works to keep those new plants healthy.

We are still out in the orchard pruning our peach trees. We had prune all the trees in the orchard, starting in January with the apples, and then cherries. Last but not least is our peach trees. If you have driven by you noticed a week ago we were in full bloom, and now the trees have dropped the blooms and are working to produce that fruit we all love!

Looking forward to seeing all our friends June 1st!

Spring Has Finally Sprung!

Welcome Spring!

We are sure happy to see this great weather upon us here at the orchard, and warm weather means our fruit trees are producing nicely for this season. If you have driven by our orchard, you have seen our Cherries in bloom, but if you have not here is a picture for you to enjoy!

And get ready to enjoy all Westview has to offer earlier this season, after listening to everyone, we know you can not wait to enjoy those fruit flips, or hot donuts so we are opening June 1st! Also new this year, we are opening up the Schoolhouse Ice Cream and Sweet Shoppe. You can come and enjoy the nostalgia of an old fashioned ice cream parlor, and candy store. I can not think of anything else that sounds better than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day! We will be offering both Hard and Soft Serve Ice Cream, Sundaes, and some Signature Items you will only find here at Westview Orchard. Construction continues around the farm to get everything ready to serve you better than before!

This year we will also be participating in the Michigan Lavendar Festival, July 17-18, at Wolcott Farm, as well as, the Leonard Strawberry Festival on July 18th. Come and visit with us at either festival and enjoy our baked goods!
