APPLE TIME IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN
It’s that time of the year, fall is in the air, squash, pumpkins and apples abound at the fruit stands and markets. Enjoy a ride down M-22 take in all the colors and stop by an apple farm!
My favorite apple farm is Kilcherman’s Christmas Cove Farms
(11573 N. Kilcherman Rd., Northport). Historic antique apples, old–fashioned apple cider and gift boxes can be found at this farm market. In fact, you’re likely to find more than 240 varieties of apples. Follow M–22 north to Northport, then M–201 to CR–640 to Kilcherman Road. Look for the windmill at the first farm you come to. (231–386–5637)
Opportunity to get a variety of apples to eat and make apple pie of course. My favorite apple for apple pie is the Northern Spy apple. I have use the Wolf River apple which is good but not easy to find. I did find them at Kilchermans! My son-in-law prefers granny smith for his apple pies. ( pastry chef!) Even better I love to mix a sweet, sour and a spicy apple for the best filling.. Sorry I’m boring you! Enjoy the cider too! Check out the Wineries on the way.
Sleeping Bear Dunes

Glen Lake is nestled and protected by the dunes that form the Sleeping Bear…Don’t forget to stick around and watch the captivating sunset over the dunes..Enjoy. Almost forgot if your so inclined bring a fishing pole and be prepared to catch a perch or bass!
Michigan Fishing
Ice Fishing on Michigan Lakes! Time to get out there and fish! It won’t be long and all the fish shanties will have to be removed off the lakes. March 15th at midnight is the dead line. So make the most of your fishing opportunities the next 2 weeks. Fishing on Michigan’s lakes is the best!
What’s Up!
Well it’s cold here at the Sleeping Bear but there is plenty of snow for skiing and snowmobiling. With the wind calming down I would suggest a day of fishing on the ice. Looking out over Glen Lake more and more shanties are out there. Just make sure the lake you’re fishing has nice thick ice. Be Careful!
