Wiard's Orchards Is Fall in Washtenaw County
At 5565 Merritt Rd, a farm that becomes a destination every September.
Wiard's Orchards operates seasonally at 5565 Merritt Road in Ypsilanti. The business combines an orchard and cider mill with its Country Fair attractions, which means a visit can range from buying cider to planning a longer family outing.
Check the season first
Wiard's official site should control opening dates, hours, tickets, attraction availability, and weather notices. Those details change each fall and should not be carried forward from a prior season.
Orchard and cider-mill shopping
The seasonal store centers on cider, doughnuts, apples, and other fall products. Apple varieties and inventory move with the harvest, so the current lineup matters more than a fixed list.
The Country Fair is a separate decision
Wiard's also sells admission to a larger attraction program. Families should compare the current ticket description with the time they actually have. A cider-and-doughnut stop and a full fair visit are different plans.
Use the live calendar
Fall weather can change orchard conditions quickly. Check the official site on the day of the visit, especially for outdoor attractions and ticketed events.
