Current Days and Hours
We will be open this Saturday from 9am to 3pm.  This is our last day open for the year.  Stop by and shop with us!If you can’t make it when we are open, please contact us to schedule an appointment.  (269) 244-5690 and we will try to have someone meet you.
Thanks to all of you who braved the cold and wintry conditions these past few Saturdays to shop at our Holiday Market!  We truly enjoyed talking with you, and hope that we provided you with a bit of peacefulness and holiday enchantment at this busy time of year.

We encourage you to stop by as it is our last day open.  We are “clearing the cold storage” so come over and take advantage of our squash and apple sales.  We also have holiday décor and gifts throughout the barn and market.  And Santa and Mrs. Claus are making their final appearance.  Inside the barn are complimentary hot beverages and donuts, and heaters to help keep you warm.

You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!
Look over your shoulder while shopping at our Holiday Market!  You just might see the Grinch spreading his special brand of holiday cheer!  He will be mingling with guests plus happy to pose for photos.

  • Now is the perfect time to capture photos for those holiday cards and social media posts.
  • Walk-ins are welcome (though there may be a short wait).  We realize this is a hectic time of year and pre-planning may be challenging.

*Pet Photos: Just stop by anytime during our Santa hours to have your pet photo with the Clauses, with or without their human(s).  This is a shorter visit designed for photos and has a different fee.

For more information, please visit our Santa webpage.

What makes Santa’s visit to Corey Lake Orchards different from his other stops?

  • He brings Mrs. Claus who also engages in conversation with your child, assists with taking photos, and looks great in photos.
  • Santa has firsthand knowledge of your children and their holiday wishes (thanks to your help of course!)  This only strengthens the magical mystique.
  • Our tastefully decorated vintage setting is a throwback to yesteryear and simpler times.
  • We have more photo opportunities.  In addition to the immediate area by Santa and Mrs. Claus, we have several photo spots with vintage and farm-type decorations that you won’t find anywhere else.
  • Our (amateur) photography staff will take a complimentary photo of your family with Santa, and other areas as time permits, upon request.
  • We provide complimentary refreshments for Santa’s visitors like donuts, coffee, hot chocolate, and mulled cider.
  • Our location is sensory-friendly (there is little noise from other shoppers, families, and traffic), and Santa is quiet (not loud and scary) – a much better setting for children who are already intimidated by the overall Santa experience or have special needs or sensory issues.
  • Family dogs are welcome, too!  Undoubtedly, they will be on their best behavior!
  • While there, shop at our holiday market for apples and squash, brandy and wines, honey, maple syrup products, local artwork and cards, stocking stuffers, and other gifts and decorations.

We are thrilled to have Santa at the farm for this special event!  Please contact us if you have questions: email brenda@coreylakeorchards.com or call (269) 244-5690.

Butternut.  Sweet, nutty flavor.  Tan skin with orange-flesh.  Good for soups, stews, baked, or roasted.  High in vitamin A.  Some of our selection are quite large!  Bake and freeze some for later.

Types of Apples
Cameo.  A firm, crisp, and sweet apple that resists browning.  Great for fresh eating, applesauce, or baking.  Keeps well in your refrigerator.
Fuji.  A fantastic, sweet flavor with a low acid content.  An incredibly good keeper, it stays crisp for several weeks without even being refrigerated.  Excellent all-purpose use like snacking, baking, and cooking.
Pink Lady.  Medium size apple with a firm, crisp flesh, and a tart taste with a sweet finish.  Stores well.
Red Delicious.  America’s most popular apple, known for the “five little bumps” on the bottom.  Best for fresh eating and snacks.  Full-flavored sweet taste, yellowish flesh, and crisp texture.
Red Rome.  A big, round, red apple right out of storybooks!  They have a mild, sweet flavor. Most popular for baking because it holds flavor and shape well.
Yellow Delicious.  A gingery-smooth, sweet taste under a thin skin. It is the most popular yellow apple, good eaten fresh, baked or cut in salads.  Makes a nice applesauce and canning pie filling.
