Cherry Point Farm and Market, Shelby

Cherry Point Market near Silver Lake Michigan is a quaint little Fruit & Veggie, Bakery, Market. But that is just the beginning! The owner Barbara is an award winning author and has her books at the Market available for purchase. Be sure to pick one…or all of them up! Any of them would be a perfect book to read while you are munching on a Cherry Strudel! Cherry point is famous for their CHERRY STRUDEL, do not leave there without at least two because I guarantee, once a strudel is unwrapped you will suddenly find family and friends sitting at your table with fork in hand! They are homemade by Barbara and her staff and are absolutely delicious (as is everything they bake there). Oh, by the way they also ship them…great for gifts! A large welcoming Lavender Labyrinth and Herb garden are a must see. (mid-summer is best for full blossoms) The market is a frequent stop for us, and has been for many years. We’ve never been disappointed in their baked goods and we have tried almost every one they make! Prices are reasonable, in addition to the baked goods, there’s a variety of souvenir items, apparel, and lavender products. Tonight a group of our cousins attended one of their outdoor Fish Boil Dinners. It’s a really unique experience that you need to try at least once. There’s a lot of history to the way the fish is prepared and Barbara gives a very interesting presentation on how the fish boil process actually works. The skillful “Boil Masters” do an amazing job of preparing the fish, and the big event of the process is when they throw kerosene on the fire to make the pot boil over, releasing the oils. It’s truly an amazing thing to see! We sat under big trees, on long, white, painted picnic tables sporting colorful pastel table cloths. There were a few children there, but the groups were mostly adults tonight. The food was more than plentiful… a delicious feast of Lake Superior Whitefish, redskin potatoes, onions, coleslaw, garlic toast, specially created herb butter, and best of all…tada!…a slice of cherry pie with ice cream! Cherry Point is a great stop on your next trip to the Silver Lake area!

Made a trip out to see the lavender labyrinth. Absolutely beautiful!! We didn't see anyone walking through, so make sure you do! There are maps in the store. The store is very cute. They have some nice things and amazing smelling baked goods. The fudge was awesome! The woman helping was also very nice. Great day!!

We were waiting for the lavender to come into bloom. Didn't know there were so many other flowers, herbs and plants in the beautiful labyrinth also. Loved the experience. Even my pup loved it.

Very interesting place to go. We love homemade soaps, oils, etc... We tried their yellow mini plums, actually pretty good. We walked through the lavender labyrinth and saw the herb garden. Very cool place, but didn't get a chance to try out their lunch. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the area.

Very impressed. Lovely location. Get your reservation in early for their famous fish boil. Hours early? Nope. Days early? Weeks? Nope. Months early, actually. It's that good. Get there early for a walk around the property and some shopping for local fruit jellies, post cards, books and pastries.
