Pavolka Fruit Farm

A family fruit farm at Michigan City in LaPorte County with over 30 apple varieties, sold both u-pick and ready-picked. 4.9 across 119 ratings, among the highest-rated farms in the directory. Also u-pick grapes and cider, sweet and tart cherries, raspberries, pears and plums. Reviewers describe a smaller, quieter alternative to the big north-west Indiana orchards - one calls it personable and serene compared with the overcrowded ones nearby, another found it pleasantly empty on a Friday afternoon. Wagons and metal apple-catchers are provided, and the owners are repeatedly described as knowledgeable and happy to let people taste varieties they would never find in a supermarket. Cash preferred. Open mid-June through October, daily 9am-5pm.
