3rd Day Farm
Where 3rd Day Farm is located
3rd Day Farm sits within the Michigan apple belt, close enough to Lake City for a quick drive and far enough out for open sky and orchard rows on the horizon.
There isn't a formal street address on file, so Lake City, MI plus a call to the farm the day before is the safest bet.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Lake City itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.

Best Time to Visit
Apple season at 3rd Day Farm tracks the rest of Michigan. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.
Fall festival weekends can double the crowd overnight, so it's worth checking the orchard's social feed the day before you go. Off-festival weekdays are typically wide open.
