Robinette's AppleHaus, Gift Barn & Winery is almost a historical fixture here
in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is a Centennial Farm, which means it has been
farmed by the same family for over a hundred years. The Robinette Farm has
kept up with Grand Rapids growth by providing what their customers want.
Located at 3142 Four Mile Road at the East Beltline(M-37), they have an
apple orchard farm and Apple Haus right on one of the heaviest traveled
roads in Michigan.
The Gift Barn is open all winter with lots of Christmas items year round and
other selected gifts. They have opened a wine tasting room in the cellar of
the Barn, featuring Michigan wines and their own hard cider, Barzilla's Brew,
named after one of the original Robinette family. Tasting hours are limited
in the winter, so check before heading out. Phone 1- 800-400-8100
The AppleHaus holds the Lunch Room, cider mill, and market shop that sells
the cider, apples and frsh bakery treats Robinettes' cook up. The lunch room
is a favorite of ours. The desserts, such as fruit pies, are homemade and
fresh from their ovens. If you haven't had fresh peach pie, you are missing
one of life's great pleasures. The Lunch Room is only open in the summer
and fall, but come early because it is always busy.
This is the original farm house from the 1880's where one of the Robinette
family still live. The Giant Apple is situated in the middle of the children's play
area and is has been a fixture for many years. Robinette's has many other
things to offer. There are trails to hike, hayrides in the Fall, and a Mountain
Bike Trail that is challenging to say the least. Check out the video on their
website of the mountain bike trail. It will give you a whole new appreciation
for mountain biking and our beautiful terrain here in West Michigan.

Terry,
You are providing a great service for your local businesses. Nice idea about continuing to update in the spring.
Thanks Terry,
I grew up in Grand Rapids and remember going there after ice fishing with my Dad
Hi Robert: Nice break from the ordinary. Maybe we will see you there.
Jane: Come on back and do your childhood over again.
Terry,
I'll be back in July but up at Drummond Island
The mountain bike video is amazing, but it's shot in British Columbia, not at the Robinette's trail in West Michigan. Either way, the trail at Robinette's is still great.
