What's Ripe When?

One of the great things about Rennhack Orchards Market is that all of our fruits and vegetables are available for sale fresh from the farm and orchards when they are in season.

Our Michigan temperatures and precipitation amounts vary widely, so our crops ripen at somewhat different times each year. The schedule below, however, will give you a general idea of the beginning of ripening times in Oceana County
