A trip to the local apple orchard is a favorite fall event for families across southeast Michigan and Macomb County is a great spot to get your apple picking on.
And that’s not the only activity that orchards in the county offer. Among the Fujis and Galas, families can find other fall activities like corn mazes and pumpkin picking (along with sweet doughnuts and cider) at these spots, too.
