Events

More than U-Pick

HH Cherries is more than a U-pick destination for cherries and flowers. We participate in the local Northport farmer’s market all summer long, engage with our volunteers for those wanting to spend time in the dirt for some fun and learning, and coordinate special events for small private events. We strive to make the land available for those wanting to support and learn about agriculture.

Join us at the Farmers Market!

Northport: The Northport Farmer’s Market is every Friday,  from 9am-1pm,  6/6/25 – 9/19/25, at the Northport Marina. It is a gorgeous setting on the bay with one of the largest number of vendors in the county. It is worth the drive!

Location: The location is across from the marina, downtown at 105 S. Bay St., Northport, Michigan 49670.

Volunteer at the Farm

Our volunteers are called Hallstedt Home Heroes because that is what they are to us…. Heroes! No agricultural experience is necessary. In exchange for some free labor, we have several perks throughout the entire year from making maple syrup, picking wild ramps, some potlucks and of course cherries and flowers. Email us to sign up!

And finally, we do host some private events throughout the year. If you or your group want a special function, let us know to see how we can accommodate your request.
