Great Food & Music
The food at Salt is
terrific, masterminded by Chef Mathew Pietsch. It is all locally
sourced and creatively executed. Mostly it’s delicious. It’s topped
off with the best local, regional and national music every Friday
and Sunday. The range covers folk, blues, country, bluegrass,
fusion, and often features songwriters singing their own songs. Salt
is a very special experience. saltoftheearthfennville.com

Apple Picking at Cranes Time to visit Crane Orchards to “pick your own” apples! Then go to
their Pie Pantry for terrific soups, homemade pies, cider and cider
doughnuts. In the orchard are, Ginger Gold, Honey Crisp, Gala, Mutsu,
Fuji, Ida Red, Empire Golden, and Cortlands. They are great for apple
pies, applesauce, cobblers, crisps, strudels, and cider. It’s a fine
time of year and we live smack in the center of Michigan’s Fruit Belt
with orchards all around us. |
