Where Raub-Rae CSA is located

You'll find Raub-Rae CSA just outside Brown City, in the farm country of Michigan. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.

From Brown City center, 8710 Clear Lake Rd is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.

Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Michigan does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Brown City.

Best Time to Visit

Apple season at Raub-Rae CSA tracks the rest of Michigan. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. The window most families aim for is the last two weeks of September into the first two of October, that's when Honeycrisp, Empire, and mid-season varieties usually overlap.

Weekend mornings between 9 a.m. and noon are the friendliest arrival window. If you can swing a weekday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are the quietest, some visitors report having entire rows to themselves.

• Closed-toe walking shoes
• A light jacket or flannel
• Sunscreen and a hat
• Water bottles for the walk
• Reusable bags for the ride home
