Michigan Local Harvest Fruit Stand — Local services in Chikaming Township

Google Review for Michigan Local Harvest Fruit Stand ⭐☆☆☆☆ — Survived. Barely.

Let me preface this by saying: I’m not one to leave dramatic reviews. But when you buy a piece of fruit and end up needing surgery in Lansing, you tend to reflect differently on the little things… like what exactly is growing inside those peaches.

I stopped at this fruit stand—the one perched on the edge of a highway that’s statistically more dangerous than a Detroit pothole in February—hoping for a peaceful bite of fresh “Michigan-grown” produce. What I got was a mislabeled Cuban guava that sent my digestive system on a spiritual journey. Within hours, I was medevac’d to Lansing for emergency surgery. The doctor told me, and I quote: “Whatever you ate tried to fight back.”

But let’s move on to their “famous” wine.

Yes, it exists. No, it’s not artisanal. This wine is allegedly stomped by unsupervised immigrant laborers kept in the backwoods behind the shed. I’m not sure if it's Merlot or moonshine, but the taste screamed “barefoot and possibly felonious.” There's rustic charm—and then there’s violating every subsection of the Michigan Food Law (Act 92 of 2000), especially Section 289.5105, which prohibits misleading claims and unsanitary food handling.

Now for the legal bit, since the owner likes to throw around the word “harassment” whenever someone asks where the fruit actually comes from (hint: it’s not Michigan). Perhaps she should refer to the Michigan Penal Code Section 750.411h, which outlines what actual harassment is—and spoiler alert: a negative review isn’t it.

Also, under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, I’m exercising my legally protected freedom of speech by warning the public that this place is a health risk wrapped in a roadside stand with plastic fruit baskets from Dollar Tree.

Additional Safety Tips for Visitors:

Don’t park too close—you may get hit by a rogue semi from the highway.

Bring a food taster if you must sample anything. Preferably one with life insurance.

If someone offers you wine, ask for their health permit and immigration records.

Wear shoes that can run. Quickly.

In conclusion, this isn’t just a poorly run roadside stand—it’s a biohazard-themed escape room. I survived. You might not. Shop at your own risk.

P.S. If you're the owner and still reading this, please don’t misuse legal terms—look up the definitions before you get schooled by the very laws you're...

Google Review for Michigan Local Harvest Fruit Stand ⭐☆☆☆☆

I usually support local businesses, but this place? Never again.

A few days ago, I stopped by Michigan Local Harvest Fruit Stand expecting fresh, local produce. What I got instead was a basket of imported fruit labeled as “local,” which I later discovered came from Cuba—a fact not disclosed anywhere. Within hours, I became violently ill and had to be airlifted to Ann Arbor where doctors had to perform emergency surgery due to severe food poisoning. I’m lucky to be alive.

This isn't just bad business—it's a health crisis waiting to happen.

Your wine? Let's talk about it. Rumor has it that it’s fermented the "traditional" way—Amish feet doing the stomping. I'm not here to judge lifestyles, but let's be real: if you're gonna sell foot-smushed wine in 2025, the bare minimum is sanitized toes. If I wanted athlete's foot and fermented fungus, I'd make it myself.

Also, to the owner—since you seemed more concerned with accusing people of “harassment” for asking questions than actually answering them—maybe look up the Michigan Food Law (Act 92 of 2000). Under Section 289.5105, it is a misdemeanor to mislabel or falsely advertise food origin or safety. That’s not customer feedback—that’s the law.

This fruit stand should be shut down and thoroughly investigated. You're not just selling "local flavor"—you’re selling danger in a basket.

Caution for future shoppers:

Ask where the fruit is actually from.

Skip the wine unless you're into fungal foot notes.

Bring a first aid kit—and maybe a lawyer.

And don't ask questions unless you want to be labeled a “problem.”

In all seriousness, I almost lost my life over a few raspberries. That’s not just bad business—it’s negligence. I will never be back, and I strongly urge others to steer clear until health inspectors...

Awful experience as one of the employees dog lunged at our dog, luckily I pulled my dog up to me in time, otherwise he would have been severely injured!!!!! No response from owner!!! Avoid at all costs if you have small children or dogs!

In response to the owners ridiculous claims that I am to blame for a dog of theirs lunging forward at my dog, is absurd! No customer should be blamed for protecting their animal or children when something lunges towards them! My reaction is and will always be to protect my dog from another dog 5 times his size and weight, clearly the owner is trying to protect his business, but this is not my dog or my fault!

Edit* you were not there and can only go off of video footage which you refuse to let us see! Your second whatever did not apologize she sat behind the register and ignored me only the employee behind the register apologized! And no, the worst case scenario is my dog would’ve got bit! Again, You were not there so you don’t know what happened. You can only go off of teenagers responses as well as the video that you will not let us see. If this is how you run your business I’m glad we will not be...
