"I take my grandkids there every year. they love it. They love the building you go in that makes you dizzy (don't remember what it's called). We all enjoyed the new "jumping pillows" this year, even I tried it!"

"All your produce from your sweet corn, apples to your vegtables are always fresh. Your prices are great and your staff is always friendly and helpful. Our family will always stop in for your great products and service."

"My family enjoys visiting Westview Orchards each Fall. It is a family tradition! We love to pick apples in the orchards. We love to quench our thirst with freshly pressed apple cider after finding our way out of the corn maze. We love to eat freshly made donuts in the crisp fall air. Westview Orchards is the best destination for fall family fun!"

"I just wanted to tell you that since moving to Washington Twp 4 years ago we have enjoyed Westview orchards. We come to family fun weekends where we just have a blast! Our favorite was the bouncy pillows this year. Our son's other favorite is the "black hole." We cherry, peach and apple pick and always enjoy the ride to the picking area. Of course, we enjoy the cider and all of the wonderful baked goods and fresh produce. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories for our family!"

"Our family loves Westview Orchard because there is good clean fun for everyone. We have 8 children and have been going to Westview for years. No one seems to outgrow it. Our absolute favorite event is the Corn Maze in the fall. We group in teams and have a contest to see which team can be the first get their card punched completely punched (finding each of the sites identified on the card) and back out of the maze! Then we stop for some great home made food, and then stop for warm donuts and peach apple cider to take home with us. Of course we also do the slide, petting farm, pyramid and even the kids playground.

There are not many places where we can get all of our kids to go to with us anymore - but Westview is one of them. Thanks, Westview!"

"I love Westview Orchards because even though I am a neighbor to the farm, its like stepping back in time. The multi-generation farm has painstakingly for decades taken so much time and energy to make it the icon in that it is in this tri-city. We are so proud to invite family and friends to visit us at our home and know that we have such a beautiful well rounded establishment to visit. We are assured that our guests will be glad to visit again.

Where else can you spend around $10 a person for an entire day of good wholesome family fun? Visit Historical buildings, learn the process of Cider right in front of your eyes? Where else can you follow your nose to satisfy any craving? Take a hayride and see the beautiful rolling hills this farm and area has to offer? Where else can you pick the best fruit nature can offer to you? We love taking friends and family to Westview Orchards to pick just the perfect pumpkins for us to carve! It is the best because these farmers take great pride in their harvest, it's one delicious treat for you but its been a lifetime of pride for them and they are so proud to share it with all who come to visit.

I love Westview Orchards also because its one of the few places we have left that we as a family can visit and we are promised by the Roy family that it will be a wholesome and good experience. There isn't a business around that can compare to their cleanliness either and in my book that speaks volumes. Westview Orchards is one of the reasons I chose to live

I personally love the Black Hole, visiting the Donkeys, Bunnies, holding a baby chick, watching the frisky goats and eating as many donuts as I can get away with. Watching my kids play, eat, run and laugh while I relax and take in the beautiful relaxed atmosphere it just doesn't make a summer or fall day any better in my mind. I personally hope that this farm is still with us when my great-grandkids bring their kids here to enjoy everything we've enjoyed for so many years. I believe that will happen because at Westview it just keeps getting better and better each year but never by compromising the integrity of the historical value.

Having lived in a town with a Historical Society (Romeo) I can appreciate all the history that is preserved and nurtured at Westview Orchards. I am amazed how much there is to know to run a business such as Westview Orchards, they are truly scientists among other things in their craft.

When in season you'll never find a better Apple or Cherry. Personally I'm a die hard fan of their Pumpkin Spice Rolls. My family can testify to the fact that I don't share this with anybody and they'll have to get their own! There is a reason I can't get down the street sometimes, there is so many people there with one thing on their minds, Peaches! So much so that we have a Peach festival in our town. What does that say?

If I missed anything its only because I can't type and tie my shoe.....I'm running over to Westview Orchards all this talk....I'm hungry!!"

"Leader Dogs for the Blind would like to thank you for your generous donation in the amount of $1,000.00 from Grandma Kay's 5K Walk Run event. It was great fun and all that participated from Leader Dogs for the Blind felt your warm hospitality and genuine passion for what takes place at Leader Dogs for the Blind. Thank you for the treat that you brought in for our break room, everyone loved it!

We look forward to partnering with you again in the coming year. I know the event will gain in momentum thanks to your planning and passion. On behalf of all of those we serve and for whom you help to provide new opportunities, thank you so much"

"My family has a great time at Westview Orchards. My grandkids love the playscapes, it is well kept up. Store and eating areas are clean. Petting farm is fun for the kids. Of course the pies and flips are wonderful."

"We have been going to Westvieworchard now for 5 years with our granddaughter and now her brother for the last 2 years. Every year we have a great time, mostly visiting the farm grounds. We just enjoy everything at your farm."

"I love your orchard, its very friendly and full of family love I only come there now!!!!!!!! Thank You"

"What I loved about my visit to West View Orchards would be the activities for the children. I enjoyed seeing them run and play and just take in the outdoors. My most favorite of all were the hot doughnuts and apple cider!! That's alway a plus and good reason to visit!"

"What I like best about Westview Orchards:
- apple cider
- donuts
- honey crisp apples
- pumpkin log
- caramel apples w/peanuts
- apple pies & flips
- peach pies & flips
- honey
- friendly service

(yum-yum) :)"

"Coming to your orchard has become a tradition for our family in the Fall. My older sister, younger sister and her children, and myself and my children come every year together. I also bring my preschool and nursery school classes every October for field trips. I love the wonderful family activities you have for children and adults alike (especially the corn maze), the great food (I loved the new food selections this year), the little country shop and the all-in-one price. I also love the cleanliness of your facilities and the time in which you devote to taking care for every little detail. The staff is awesome as well. When I am with my classes I am always guaranteed a quality field trip with an extremely polite staff. They are so kind to the children and very helpful to me. Everything is so organized and, as a teacher, I really enjoy my day because all the details are already taken care of for me. Thank you so much for sharing your orchard/farm with me, my family, and my students. I appreciate all you do to make your place so enjoyable for others!"

"It is a tradition each Fall for several years now that we spend a day with our grandkids at your Orchard. It is a great opportunity to expose them to farm animals, and to play on the wooden farm toys. They enjoy climbing the giant haystack, and think the giant slide is awesome. Climbing on, and running in and out of the large and small tires affords a good balancing act. Equally as much fun is the tractor pulled wagon ride out to the corn maze. It's a great walk together through the tall corn paths, and finding the stations to punch out their cards is exciting.

Sharing cider and fresh donuts is a season must!! We also enjoy the fresh apples.

We have driven by the farm for many, many years on our way up to Otter Lake, MI....We had no idea how many, many acres of land the farm entails. We are glad to be able to visit there. Keep up the great work."

"My trips to West View began as a child and still continue today now that I'm well into my 30's. Our family trip to Westview was for cider, apples so mom could make pies--of course we always got donuts, too! Now as an adult, I still come for cider, donuts, and apples, but I also come to pick cherries every year and I bring my neice and nephew to enjoy the petting farm. I prefer to purchase local goods and try to do so in all ways possible, so that is another reason I continue to come to westview."

"We been coming to orchards for many years. We love your cider and your donuts are the greatest. The apples are wonderful, I love to make pies with them or just to eat too."

"I've brought my grandchildren to Westview Orchards in the late nineties and again in 2004. The experience they had was priceless. We enjoyed the hayride up to the corn maze, got lost, found each other again, got lost again and just had a wonderful time. The staff at your Orchards are impeccable and very accommodating. I can't say enough about the wonderful fresh fruit and the care in which you do CARE for them. And the fresh apple pies, WOW they are the best around. I can smell them while writing about them. Thanks for being the best Fall Orchards to visit and the cleanest. You are definitely an asset to the community. Keep up the great work."

"I love the atmosphere of your orchard better than any I have been to. There is so much to do. I look forward to taking my grandson to Westview Orchards every fall."

"Our family enjoys the cider and cinnamon doughnuts most of all. Our little girl also enjoys the petting farm."

"My family and with my sister's family have been going to Westview Orchard for approximately 6 years. We love the cider and donuts, maze, bakery, petting farm, hay ride, hay pyramid, playground and indoor maze. We try to visit several apple orchards but your's is our favorite and a must in our fall outings. We have wanted to visit during the peach harvest but missed you this year - hopefully next year! Thank you for a wonderful place we will always cherish!"

"We have been regulars at your farm for several years.......................................one reason. IT'S THE BEST!!!!! You can feel the pride that any family would have when opening their arms to the public. Your farm is clean, friendly, a wonderful crop, and the best bakery. I appreciate the extra touches also; the petting farm, corn maze, haystack tower and the fun rides on the tractor for picking. Thank you for the many wonderful memories our family has made at your farm. Continued success to you."

"I was at westview last year with my family. We had a great time! We ate from a stand, watched a magician, went on a hay ride to a corn maze, and bought some fresh popped popcorn. We had the most fun we have ever had at an apple orchard. We are sure to return again!"

"The Farm is just perfect! I love the different Ciders that are available, the different types of apples, the cherries, etc. The Wagon rides are fun and very informative. I like everything about Westview Orchards!"

"Westview Orchards was discovered my accident last year when I was looking for a certain kind of apple. Much to my surprise was the friendliness of the staff and their determination to service the customer. My second surprise was the wonderful bakery and those delicious flips. Further exploration revealed a third Gem...a small quaint little shop by the road side full of treasures...from apples, canned goods, fresh baked goods and many other items to satisfy ones plate!!! Most of all I have to compliment the management and staff to ensure those that are physically challenged the opportunity to have excellent parking, safe sidewalks and access to various sites and activities.

This year I have found that Westview Orchards has continued their dedication to provide great service to the customer, expanded their selection of foods, fresh fruit, and activities. I recently became very ill and had to have home health care. As a thank you gift to my therapists, I bought each of them a flip from Westview Orchards. They said they had never had anything so flavorful and tasty!!!!!!!! They all are patrons of Westview Orchards....Thank you for having a wonderful kitchen/bakery."

"The set-up and events were great for all ages. Kids enjoyed the animals and wagon ride. Food was great and employes were very helpful."

"Last year was the first time that we visited your farm. We read about Westview Orchards in a local book that listed things to do with kids in Metro Detroit. Even though you guys are an hour and a half drive away from us our interest was peaked.

We never imagined how huge you guys really were! There were so many things to do! All of our expextations were met plus many more! But, hands down, our favorite part of your farm is the U-Pick area.

We came last October and picked Yellow and Red Delicious, Fuji, and Jonagold apples. The entire experience was grand! We believe children will not only eat better if they see where their food comes from and how it is grown but also instill in them family traditions and a desire to perserve our land so future generations can enjoy produce that is grown locally.

It was important to us to be able to take our then 4 1/2 year old out into the orchards and actually pick the fruit ourselves. She loved it! We loved it! Your apples are the best tasting apples that we have ever had! That is no lie! We picked so many that we could hardly carry them back to our truck!

We came back again this year with our 5 1/2 year old daughter and grandmother and great aunt. They were equally impressed with Westview Orchards. Once again, we picked so many apples we could hardly carry them!

This has become a new family tradition for us! We not only plan to visit just for the apples but also plan to come and try picking some of the other fruits that you offer. They have to taste just as good!Our whole family tells everyone about your farm, including our soon to be 6 year old. She says you guys have the best apples in the whole world!

We also enjoy the pony and hay rides, the petting farm, and the cider mill as well as all the delicious goodies we get to snack on! Thank you so much for providing such a wholesome family experience!

We will see you guys again real soon with more family and friends coming with us!"

"Thank You for asking for my family's feedback. The thing we like most about Westview is the wide variety of things you can do. As a parent you can take your children to Westview and entertain them for several hours with all the different options. There is lot of value in that. There are a lot of "Cider Mill" options, but Westview will always remain our favorite for that reason. Of course the treats are awesome and a bonus to everything else. I look forward to coming to Westview for many years and taking my grandchildren in 20 years or so."

"The best thing about westview is there homemade bakery items - the pies and pumpkin roll are delicious."

"My daughters and their friends love the black hole, the corn maze, the baby animals, and the apples. Our second loves are the larger animals, cider and donuts. Westview is the first of three places we usually attend in the fall each year. It is our favorite fall place!"

"I visited the westview orchards two times w/ the grandchildren and one time to purchase a bag of apples. I enjoy it there because of the animals and the wide open spaces w/ the many activities for the children. The crowd control is excellent."

"I really enjoyed the orchard. I lived the cider, the apples were amazing (especially with caramel! yum!) I also loved the haunted house. My favorite part of that was the room that maked you feel like you are spinning!"

"Westview is the only farm that has a wonderful family running it and the best cherries, apples, peaches and vegetables and sweets it is a pleasure to come there. When I lived out there of course I was a lot younger and could pick the cherries but now the ones already picked are just as good. I pray that you will always be there so my great grandchildren will be able to come and enjoy it."

"My family loves Westview Orchards because of the smiling faces,fantastic customer service that starts in the parking lot,yummy foods and fun activities. We will continue to make Westview a part of our fall tradition for many years to come!"

"Your apple cider is the best ever. We have tried several and there is no comparison to yours. The first time I had your cider was several years ago when Central Transport served it on Halloween to their employees and it has been a tradition there ever since. Also, your Northern Spy and Early Spies are the best for making my home made apple pies. Please keep up the great work!"

"My family really enjoys visiting your farm. Not only is it clean but everyone is so friendly and nice too! We really enjoy your cider to! I am a bus driver and we bring groups of kids too! Thanks for the fun memories we are able to make there!!"

"This was the first time I picked cherries at an orchard. I have picked them in my own back yard off a single tree. My family and I had a great time. I have never taste tested so many cherries in my life. We look forward to next years cherry crop."

"I love the way the store is decorated in the winter time. It looks beautiful from the road. It makes you want to come inside, just like I did tonight, and ended up with one of your delicious donuts."

"My wife and I enjoy the hay ride every year, and your cider. We also like taking our grand kids to your petting zoo as well. I like going into the Star Wars "Worm Hole" that you have there to see if I can get through it without banging into the rails, and climbing up on the straw pyramid, and taking pictures of my family at this event and spending a day there."

"My family and I have lived in the area nearly all of our lives and been to many orchards, but we alway come back to Westview. I believe that it is the best orchard around!! The cider is awesome, the pies and flips are amazing, and the family fun is unforgettable!! Also the staff is always courteous, friendly, and helpful."

"Westview thank you for your service and product for all these years. We wish all of you a Happy Thanksgivings, a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year."

"We enjoy visiting Westview each and every year. The family has lots of memories as we replay them at each visit. We have recommended your place to many of our friends and they feel the same way. Keep up the good fun for each and everyone of us."

"We took a trip out to Westview Orchards as something fun to do when a good friend of the family came home after being away in basic training all summer. The five of us, all over the age of 18, had a blast at one of your Fall Family Fun Weekends. We all enjoyed the straw mountain and the petting farm before jumping onto the tractor for a ride out to the corn maze. I think we all had the most fun in the corn maze as we split up into two groups randomly running into each other, trying to avoid each other so the other group wouldn’t know where the other found check-points and racing to see who makes it out first. Basically, we turned it into a big adventurous competition. After we got back to the farm we enjoyed the slide and going through the black hole and indoor maze. Before we left for the day, we indulged in some of the best fresh donuts and cider. It was a great trip and a great bonding experience where we could all be outside and enjoy the fresh air! Thanks for the great time!"

"This was my second year patronizing your orchard. I come to pick apples and to purchase donuts and cider for my family. They are all so busy that I even come myself. I like the set up as far as the u-pick section. I also enjoy the fresh cider and donuts. My first year I was also impressed since after reading your website, the matriarch of the family even waited on my when I purchased the cider and donuts. I have told several of my friends and intend to try some of your other u-picks earlier in the year. I drive all the way from the West Bloomfield area. I used to take my children to Erwin Orchards in South Lyon when they were young, but am totally sold on your establishment now!!!"

"My Aunt has fond memories of the schoolhouse she used to go to school in that schoolhouse when it was located at a different site, like 50 years ago. My kids also like the black hole. I like the apples the best. The whole experience was a great one for our family."

"I really enjoy going to Westview Orchards. My family and I have gone for the past 3 years now. We are from Port Huron but it is definitely worth the drive there. I feel the corn maze is the best part. There is something there for everyone to do of all ages. My nephews, whom are 6 and 7 years old, love the tunnels you walk through and then the maze at the end. My neice, whom is 2, loved the animals and the hay stacks to climb on. To top it all off at the end of the day you can snack on some of the best donuts and apple cider. It is just a truly fun day to which my family and I will return every year."

"The Grandchildren & us enjoyed our day at your orchards because it's a safe and friendly place. The Grandkids loved the BLACK HOLE, Corn Maze, Wagon Ride, pumpkin patch, petting farm & candy apples. Also, the bakery & apple cider was great! Well, return next Fall because our viist to your orchard has become a family tradition!"

"We deeply regret that our family was not able to make the trip from Flint to your orchards yet this year. We made our first trip ever last fall with 10 of us total! We made a wonderful day of playing on the hay stacks, using the slide, the haunted house, and going through the corn maze. We took a break in between to stop for a sweet snack by purchasing donuts and cider, and they were delicious! I will definitely be visiting Westview Orchards soon!"

"I love taking my great-nieces and great-nephews and watching them have fun. But, in watching them, I also turn into a child and join them in the fun. I love the petting zoo and the haunted house."

"Hello, Westview Farms, I enjoy taking a leisurely car ride to the country and having a lay over at Westview Farms. In the summer time it's for the freshest of fresh farm produce and the fall months I find it an excellent time to stop in for decorative gourds, pumpkins, cider, and delicious donuts. My goal is to gather up my westside (Plymouth) friends and spend some quality time with them in your corn maze for some good ol' fashion fun."

"We just wanted to say, we love coming to your orchard. We have so much family fun visiting the farm and playing around. We also LOVE your donuts. We always look forward to every year spending our family time with you in the Fall..Westview is the best!!!"

"I am a local resident so I frequent your orchards often. Westview is a friendly place. I have never been disappointed by anything I have purchased. From the baked goods to the apple cider to numerous kinds of fruits and vegetables, it has all been good. It's always sad to see the harvest season come to an end!"

"Good to hear from you! We have been taking our kids to Westview Orchards for years. They are teenagers now and much taller than me but they still love to go visit. They expecially love the fall - we continue to spoil them with your homemade pies. Hope your holidays are filled with the wonder of the birth of Christ, the warmth of the holiday spirit and the love of your family & friends!"

"My girlfriends, along with our grandchildren, come out about once a year just to spend the day having fun and enjoying the corn maze, the haystacks, the animals, cider and donuts and all that is there to do. This is one of our "Gramma Days". We also enjoy buying some apples (other fruits) and baked goods to take home to our families. When I am in the area, I just stop by to do a little 'goody shopping' and sometimes it is just for myself. My friends and I enjoy all that Westview Orchards has to offer and so do the grandkids. Thank you for this opportunity."

"What I like best is that your farm provides a setting for good family fun. We usually go as a large group with 10 adults and 11 kids. Even though the kids range in age from 1 to 20, there is something for all to do and none get bored. In fact, it is always hard to get the kids to get in the car to head home. Only, the lure of doughnuts and cider, gets them in the car. The little kids like to play in the play yard, and of course they love the animals and the pony rides. The medium ones like the hay stack and the black hole, the maze and the hay ride. All like to chose pumpkins.........and eat. Thanks so much."

"We visited your orchard this fall and enjoy it more than the other local orchards/cidermills in the area. There is alot to do, alot to see and the cider & donuts are AWESOME!!! Our toddler loved it and we enjoyed having a family day at your Orchard. See you next Fall!!"

"I have shope at your place for years and truly have enjoy it. The cider is the best there is made. I drive all the way from Rochester Hills to come to your place. I love the peaches and not to even memtion the peach donut that top it all off. Now will be looking to see the little schoolhouse sweet shope where is that located."

"Our family loves Westview orchards! We've been out several times this year. We came first for the apple picking (we just love the JonaGolds!). I've been stopping in almost weekly for fresh apple pie! Thanks for all you do. You have a very clean and well run establishment. Keep up the good work!"

"We have been coming to Westview for Fall Family Fun for years. The kids have a blast and love the animals they can run around with outside of the indoor petting zoo. We love the fresh warm donuts and cider that's always a hit with the kids. As our family grows the more fun we have...the older kids loved the jumping pillows this year...nice addition. Keep up the good work we love coming and having fun all day."

"I have been taking my niece and newphew to Westview Orchards for the last 13 years. I enjoy spending the day with them at Westview seeing the animals in the pen, the pony rides (my niece still takes about "Katie" the pony) and we also have a very fond memory of the young teenage girls doing the face painting and I recall giving my niece 3.00 to have her face painted and I stated don't get anything that is "to crazy" and I will always remember how she came back to the picnic grounds with her whole face painted as a leopard!! She said " Oh my Mom is going to kill ya" My nephew goes crazy over the corn maze every year and somehow he even convinces me to go through and get my "punches at the different stations!! Thank you for all you do there!!"

"We love taking the wagon ride out to pick the yummy apples!! It is so much fun to search the pumpkin patch for the perfect pumpkins. Then we end the day with a walk through the apple cider making factory and eat lots of delicious kettle corn!! Yum! Yum!"

"My thoughts of Westview Orchards, very beautiful well kepted orchard, not to big perfect for pre-school aged children. You have the best apple turnover, everyone was very nice and you have the best wagon ride."

"My family comes to your orchard every year and we love it!

What draws us back every year, is that you do not pasteurize your cider. We are large cider drinkers with sensitive stomachs, you are one of the last that do not pasteurize and we hope that you never do. So thank you.

We usually come the first week of October and go through your corn maze. We love the hayride to it also. Then we return for frequently just to purchase your cider.

When the whole familly is there amongst the cider we enjoy your donuts, pies, carmel apples, homade breads, and candles."

"What do I like best about Westview? Where to begin. What comes to mind first are the donuts!!! I've tried MANY cider mill donuts, but Westview's donuts are BY FAR the best!!! They are bigger than the others and by far the best tasting! I love the ones that are flavored – like apple-flavored, peach-flavored, etc. I'm very careful to watch my sweet intake, but when I'm visiting Westview, I throw caution to the wind and gobble up the donuts! I cannot help it.

I also love their fresh produce. They have the best tasting apples right off the tree and their cherries cannot be beat. Our family makes a pilgrimage to pick apples and cherries every year.

Finally – my son thinks the Star Wars attraction is the best. He goes on it over and over and over again.

Thanks for being the best orchard around!"

"Just wanted to let you know or visit to west view orchard this year was a lot of fun. My fiance and I love going together during the fall season getting a pumpkin, riding on hayride to the corn maze, petting the animals and getting our apple juice with donuts."

"We love the Family Fun Festival around Halloween and donuts! We have been to other orchards and we think that this is the best orchard around for younger children."

"We love the fall. The kids love the family fun area-- the new pillow jump this year was a great addition. Especially the corn maze. The adults -- and kids love the cider, doughnuts and pumpkin roll. It is just a nice relaxing way to spend the day with your family during the fall."

"I really enjoy a day on the farm with my family. We moved to Washington Twp. about three years ago and it has become a tradition that we visit Westview in the fall. Our daughter loves to pick out her own pumpkin, we all enjoy the corn maze, interacting with the animals in the petting zoo area, the slide, the hay mountain, the newly renovated play area and we were especially surprised by the new trampolines (not sure how else to explain them. It was also great to be able to purchase lunch at the new food court. We truly enjoy a fall day at Westview Orchard it is a lot of family fun!!"

"Our family enjoys everything about Westview, we have 4 children and they all love the animals and the food and the tunel that spins, the hayrides and especially the huge hay structure where they like to climb. We have been to every cidar mill in the area and we find that Westview is second to none!! The best ever.. The one thing that stops us from going more often is the price of admission, its a bit high especially for a family of 6. Westview Orchards should come up with a yearly membership for families, where the families can visit more frequently. Westview could gain from this especially from people buying the food etc. I believe you will make more money because families will come back many times throught the year and they will spend more money. Thank You"

"What we like best about coming to your farm every year is picking pumpkins and, of course, you have the best donuts and cider around!! Also, the kids love the slide and we all love the blackhole and indoor maze!"

"If you were to ask me what I like best about Westview, the first thing that came to my mind is the peach donuts! I look forward to getting them every year when I see the sign that you have them - they are the best donuts I have every had! If you ask my son what he likes best about Westview it would be the family fun area and hay pyramid - there is sooo much to do for kids. We always look forward each year to our visit to Westview and going thru the Corn maze - which I must say it is a challenge. I think one year we had to find so many items or numbers and we ended up having to ask others that were in the maze for help so we could find them. It was a lot of fun, I'm just glad it was for fun because we had to cheat to finish.

I sent in pictures for a contest you were having a few years ago of my son looking over the top of the castle, it is on your web page. I didn't win the photo contast but the picture made you website so that made me feel good.

Thank you for all the fun times we have had at Westview!"

"The thing I like most about Westview Orchards is the fact that this is one yearly trip that I really look forward too. When I'm there it really feels like autumn. My favorite time of the year. The sites and smells just give me a comforting and restful feeling. I love the corn maze. I love the bakery and apple stands. I get so excited trying decide what to buy to take home to share with my family. Everything is so good. And I love the family fun area. Something for everyone to do. Westview is my favorite apple orchard and I tell everyone that they should check you out."

"Love the cherry picking - the trees are so full my 4 and 6 year old can fill their buckets quickly. Last year it took us about 25 minutes to get about 7 pounds."

"We enjoyed everything from the apples, cider, donuts, animals, corn maze, fun house. So thanks for a fun place."

"What do we like best about Westview Orchard? That's a hard question to answer because we like everything!!! But I'm sure you want a more specific answer.... My husband and I love the fresh cider and homemade donuts. Our 2 boys love picking their own apples and running around on the farm."

"I go to Westview orchards because the cider is still not pasteurized.. I really hope it stays that way too. My wife also loves the apple flips."

"Our family has been enjoying your superb variety of apples and pears for at least ten years now. We believe your consistency in quality of product flavor and freshness is unsurpassed in our lovely state . Even with the price of gas skyrocketing and it's erratic fluxes, we've felt the trip to your farm is well worth the time and expense.

We look forward to your seasonal specialty donuts, home style fruit pies and your wonderfull pressed apple ciders.

We experienced the taste sensation of your sweet strawberries a year ago this past June, wonderful on our shortcakes and in our jams. Followed by thevariety of succulent peaches, and juicy plums.

We thank your Family and knowledge staff for all of your hard work and look forward to our next visit, late spring cant get here fast enough, we feel Westview Orchards Fruits & Products are worth the wait."

"We love coming to Westview Orchards. The selection of apples is great. We have also had a lot of fun in the corn maze."

"The Westview Orchard is always a wonderful experience. We really love all the animals. The kids love the baby chicks and the bees. We seem to come during Halloween and the black hole is always a special treat for the kids because it is not too scarey for a 6 year old and when they are done they are always willing to go thru again and again. They hay rides are always a blast....I love to show the kids the school house and how it used to be in the days past.Over all your orchard is our favorite!!!!"

"My family loves cherry season. I love how beautiful the trees look full of cherries. I enjoy making sour cherry pies and I look forward to picking them for a fourth of July celebration. I always freeze some for a pie at another time. Usually it's hard to get my 15 year old to want and join my husband and I for an outing, but she loves to go with us, my sister and her family and friends to pick cherries. It's always a really nice time."

"What I like most about Westview is the family atmosphere. The corn maize is something we look forward to each year. The carmel apples are second to none and the childrens play area is fantastic."

"We have been coming to your farm for 12 years for cherry picking. We love it and always wish you a great crop. We miss baskets though... Thank you for the great summer fun."

"Everytime I visit Westview Orchards I love going up to the stand for hot donuts and cider. i can sit and relax or walk around and pick up a pumpkin or some fresh baked goods or nick nacks in their store or some candy in the schoolhouse. I love Westview Orchards!"

"I have been visiting your orchards for four years now and I enjoy it as well as my kids. They love the activities you have to offer compared to other orchards. I for one enjoy the opportunity to pick the fresh fruits you have to offer. I feel its nothing like being able to pick your own apples, peaches, vegetables. It is a wonderful activity for the whole family to enjoy. I feel that your employees are very wonderful people as well. I have had very positive outcomes for this orchard and my kids go every year as I mentioned before I have been coming for four years. I am proud to say I visit the Westview Orchards. Thank you for allowing me to present my feedback on your place."

"I love Westview Orchards! I've been going there since I found out about it 4 years ago. When I go, I bring my mom and dad, and I bring my kids. Regardless of what we are picking, apples, peaches, or my favorite cherries, we use this time to bond with our family. Prices are reasonable, fruit is tree ripened. I love how Westview also has animals and a petting farm as well. Very nice experience everytime."

"We really like the convenient location for fresh, locally grown fruits and wonderful baked goods. We also enjoy some of the other natural, local products. Thanks for being there."

"Our family enjoys visiting your family orchards each year for the fresh cider and the donuts. We have enjoyed your maze and especially love the cherry cider that you make. It's usually a very busy place, but the service is wonderful and so is your staff. We look forward each year to apple time so we can enjoy the fresh cider. Thank you!"

"Well, I should tell you that your Cider Mill is the only place I take my children every year. We don't waste our time at any other Cider Mills. There are a few things we like about the place. We all enjoy the corn maze. This is always fun for us because we get our entire family together and break off into groups. Then we race to see who can complete it first. We also like the petting farm. It is nice for the kids to be able to hold the baby chicks, and get inside the pen with the goats. My kids like petting and feeding the animals. My kids also love the haystack mountain. It is fun for them to jump around like monkeys in the hay. They also enjoy the big slide, and the play ground area as well. My daughter loves the Black Hole. I think we all love the Fresh Cider and doughnuts! My favorite is the spiced hot cider. I had to buy some mulling spices this year. I also love all the fresh baked goods! They all look and taste so yummy! The four berry pie is one of my favorites! So overall, I guess we love just about everything about the place."

"We take our children to your facility every fall. The children love the maze. Picking pumpkins, hay stacks, the animals and of course the cider and doughnuts. There is so much to do and eat. We do love coming at other times to pick fruits such as the apples and cherries. Thank you. We hope to spend a lot more time with West View through the coming years."

"Our family loves Westview Orchards! With each harvest season we look forward to coming there to enjoy your delicious fresh fruit, fun in the play areas, and your smiling and courteous staff. We make special trips there just for your cherry donuts (when in season) and fabulous fruit flips. The children also love to see and pet the farm animals. It's a wonderful experience for them and we have taken some amazing pictures over the years with your patient, furry friends. We appreciate the safe, clean environment –and the convenient hand sanitizer gel. We've heard some people say “it's expensive to go there”, but we always say we think it's an excellent value considering all you have available and the standards that you uphold. Not only that, we tell them we would rather pay a little more to see you keep that wonderful place in your family rather than sell out to developers. You have loyal customers here. Thank you for all you do. It is appreciated!"

"My goodness, the list is so long. I live in Georgia and have the good fortune of visiting my sister in Shelby TWP several times a year. We ALWAYS visit Westview for whatever is ready at the farm. Our favorite has to be cherries in the summertime and the cherry donuts!!!! It's such an experience for my urbanized 7 year old to ride into the orchard, pick fresh fruit, climb a ladder, be outdoors and bring home the results of his labor, create something amazing in the kitchen, and taste the essence of slow food at its best.

The staff at the farm are like family. They open their hearts and helping hands each and every time we are with them. The absolute best Halloween haunted house for a 5 year old in the black barn. It's cool but not creepy. It's exciting. And wandering in a corn maze with corn 8' high in search of treasures can consume hours when you're 4... or 40!! The feeling of autumn air and bright sunshine heals the soul more than any medicine on any shelf in any drug store.

Oh, and going to a pumpkin patch on a tractor ride to choose your favorite pumpkin for a jack-o-lantern creates memories cherished for a lifetime. Ask my 22 year old!! And apple cider!!! And apple picking... learning the difference in the tartness of a macintosh and courtland will be useful for the rest of their lives as they bake the best pies on earth!!!

Then there's the fun of climbing a hay tower and watching the animals...

We love Westview. Don't let anything take this treat from the lives of us who value good food, good fun, and good people!!!"

"My children and I have been visiting Westview Orchards for the past 3 years in a row. I must say the fresh donuts are especially the reason for us returning year after year....the donuts are the best when they are still warm!!! YUMMY!!! I grew up in Romeo and always love to have any reason to visit... Westview has given me a very good excuse to "come home" year after year. Of the past few years we have visited, this fall seemed to be much more organized especially at the entrance. I liked the additional "food" court in the middle of the grounds - lines were not too long!!! The staff has always been very nice and friendly!! Overall, Westview Orchards is a great fall activity which we have made as one of our family traditions. Fall would not be complete without a visit to Westview!!!! Thank you for another wonderful experience - see you next year!!!"

"The greatest place for kids in the fall, the maze is great fun, the expanded playground is awesome and we love the donuts and cider. We never miss a year."

"I love the apples, and they have a big variety of apples."

"Hello friends at Westview Orchards! I just want to say that every year I try to find a better cider mill than yours for us to take our daughter to but, each year I cannot find one to top Westview. You have so much to offer for all ages. Your bakery and flavored ciders are off course on the top of our must have list. We enjoy the corn maze and hay ride every year. Our daughter loves the play area and hay sculptures. We travel all the way from Rockwood to visit your facility. We wish we lived closer so that we could come more than once per year. Thanks Westview!"

"They reason I shop at Westview Orchards, is their fruits are always fresh, good tasting, good for baking and keep so well..We love the different apples they grow, and their pastry is out of this world. The apple cider is always great tasting and fresh also... We have recommended Westview to many friends and family. ALSO The pricing is very reasonable. Thanks to them for helping to keep us fruit healthy."

"I like visiting Westview Orchards to pick cherries, buy the fresh apples and peaches and the friendliness of the people working there."

"What brings me back again and again to your farm is your grounds, your animals and your genuine kindness. My kids LOVE Westview. Your place is a MUST visit with every season change. The farm animals are the best!

Your place is such a fun-loving, free-to be-a-kid environment! It reminds me of the summers I spent with my grandparents in the south. Just take your shoes off and run!

All of your staff treats everyone so kindly. The customer service is exceptional. If you had a full-blown market (like Randazzo) I suppose you would see us more often!

Nevertheless thanks for doing what you do and giving city folks a taste of the country!"

"We visit you every year since 1978, when we came to the States. You have the best cherries, peaches, apples, and surroundings. I love the petting zoo. Kids get a kick out of it."

"We enjoy going to your orchard because of the cleanliness of the orchard and the store front. We also find the staff very friendly and informative. The cider, donuts, pastries, and of course the fruit is very fresh and tasty. We haven't one complaint other than we wish the season was all year long! Thanks for being there for us and the other families."

"My very favorite is the fresh peaches. Yours are simply the best. Like the recipes in the shop also. Our grand kids enjoyed the kids activities. They did love the black hole and the maze. We did not come this year as we went to Blakes but will not do that again and will be back at Westview. Usually I come several times and just did not seem to make it and was very sorry to have missed your peaches. We go to FL for winter so our time to come is shorter but we will make it back there next season. Love the farm and family feeling."

"I enjoy all that westview has to offer my son love the play area and the petting farm I love the apple picking and hayrides."

"I just want to say my favorite is the flips, I like the hard crunchy crust with the filling very good. Then the dough nuts. Also at cherry time my favorite is the jalapeno cherry salsa just love it.

I liked the idea of having the parking for the front store up front it made it very convenient, we came when it was just packed it was around pumpkin time I would of drove through if I would of had to park in the back just to get a few things. Keep up the good work see you next year."

"It is the fresh apples, peaches, and cherries, it's picking in your orchards, your fresh-baked items, award winning gift baskets, or just being on the farm for the day. The enjoyment of your petting zoo, your playscapes and of course, the cornmaze. Just a great place."

"Fantastic Staff!"

"Very Welcoming!"

"Love this Place!"

"We Love this place, been coming for about 6 years!"

"Love the new Ice Cream Shoppe"

"Our annual trip to Michigan and Westview Orchards is one of our favorite family traditions. Three generations of our family come together to enjoy apple picking, the pumpkin patch and all of the fall festivities."

"Just recently I met a group of the nicest people I have ever met, three of which were from Westview Orchards. My name is Bob Pender and I was the bus driver on your trip to White House Fruit Farm in Canfield, Oh. I checked out your web site at Westview Orchards and was very impressed. What a great history you have there. I enjoy history and was especially impressed by the original owner, "Fearless Mike." One of your bags of Kettle Korn found it's way into my possession and I must say I will never buy another bag of kettle korn til I can get to Westview Orchards and buy some of yours. It's sinfully good. If I'm ever in your neighborhood, I will surely stop by. It was pleasure to meet such fine folks."

"Thanks a bunch! I was just there again with my sisters and their kids on Monday. and everyone had a great time. My oldest sister is from Chicago and just loved your orchards and said she could tell that alot of time and thought was put into all of the features."

"Hi, we saw voting on click on detroit website for best cider. Your cider mill is in about 4th place..you should send out a mass email to get people to vote. YOU HAVE THE BEST CIDER AND DOUGHNUTS!!! Also we came a week ago and picked cherries for the very first time. It was SO much fun we plan to do that yearly now. oh and the cherries were delicious too and made the BEST cherry pie!!! Thanks again!!"

"The birthday party we had at Westview was great! Thank you for all you did to make the day so special for Gracie! She (and the rest of us) had a wonderful time. In fact, she must have said at least 10 times how much fun she was having and last night she asked me if she could have another "Birthday" party there soon.

No time to jump on the pillows and she didn't ride the slide (being 4 she was still a little scared) but the other kids did and loved it. Gracie absolutely loved the animals, the train ride and the playground.

Thanks again it was a fantastic day!"

"Thank you again for a wonderful morning. We were there last Thursday and probably had the nicest day (weather-wise) all week. Parents, children ands teachers enjoyed our visit. The teachers were pleased to have the Westview bags, too. We look forward to our visit next fall."

"I would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful day that we had yesterday 10/30/09. I brought my grandchildren and even though it was COLD - we had a great time! Thank you for all the fun things you offer our community."

"We picked cherries this year for various baked goods, like pies and cobbler and whatnot. Absolutely delicious. They also have a small petting area, a playground, and other fun stuff for the kids in your group. (ok, even the "big kids" like us who still think we are five, haha). The place is huge. good family fun. 5 stars, definitely."

"Despite growing up about a mile from this orchard, I had never been there before today. Wow what a great choice for a beautiful Sunday afternoon! I was really hoping to pick apples while we were home for a visit and I really, really wanted cider mill doughnuts which are hands down the best doughnuts on earth. We got there and there was a line out the door of the little shop - good sign. We opted for the small bag of "u-pick" apples which included the petting farm, really cool playground, and a ride on the wagon out to the orchard to pick apples. They said that Halloween is usually the end of their season but with the weather so nice this weekend they opened up for one more weekend. Out in the orchard they had a whole bunch of varieties to pick from, Gala, Braeburn, Fuji, Red Delicious, and a few others we didn't see the signs for. There were a lot of apples on the ground but still plenty on the trees. After cramming our bag full of apples we did a little shopping - doughnuts of course included. They tasted like heaven dipped in cider. Also a jar of honey from the orchard hives. Fun for the whole family!"

"We visited your orchard again yesterday and had a wonderful time. True family fun! I did fill out a comment card yesterday, but I thought of a couple more suggestions. First, let me tell you we have been to several orchards over the years and we agree that we enjoy yours best. There's just such a variety of things to do. We can put in a whole day and leave feeling like it was worth it."

"This is the best orchard in the area. Unlike Franklin's Cider Mill, they have multiple flavors of donuts and all types of pies. This is also a great place to bring kids or groups for apple picking. Fun for everyone. I wish this place was open all year.

My favorite is the raspberry peach pie, but you can't go wrong with any of their confections. Everything is fresh and flavorful!"

"I want to thank you so much for the coupons in Oct. We did use all of them except the entry fee coupon. We just didn't get the time to take advantage of that this year. We have prayed multiple times over the yrs. for your business and it's wonderful to see it grow. May God continue to not only bless your business but moreso you as individuals and your families. Please give our regards to all of your employees as well and may you all be filled with the true joy of Christmas....JESUS. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness."

"I truly believe that your family deserves to receive all of this good recognition, especially after the hundreds of years of honest labor you have put into your family farm. Afterall, what you sow is what you reap!"

"Regarding the Apple pie we bought that was suppose to be Peach....you gave us a free peach pie which we picked up on Friday, 9-11-09 and we just wanted to tellyou that it was one of, if not the best, pies we have ever eaten! I would recommend your pies over Achatz any day. Keep up the good work! :)"

"It's always so clean. My son attends Cranbrook Academy and brought all of his friends here on two Saturdays this fall. They had a ball. His friends were used to going to the Franklin Cider Mill (in Franklin, MI) and he brought them over here. Your donuts are THE BEST, not like other cider mills' greasy donuts."

A Romeo-Washington Chamber of Commerce member and friend, Debbie, sent out a request for donated items to ship to our military men and women serving oversees. The program is called 'Operation Care Package Michigan.' We donated several dozen of our 2009 MSU Coach Izzo Corn Maze t-shirts and 50 of our disposable cameras. These are the letters of appreciation we received in response to our donation.

"Your cameras and t-shirts were a huge hit, I cannot thank you enough. Below is another thank you letter, it is great to know that we can make a difference. They are having a packing party on the 29th to finish up the Christmas packages but we will continue to collect and keep sending throughout the year. Thank you so much."

"Hello to all, I just want to say *Thank You* so much for all your care packages. I have only been here since June and will be here until March. Your care packages mean so much to me and the soldiers. The Harley Davidson Pillows were great! The HOG Riders loved them. Again your care packages are absolutely fantastic. We are so grateful that so many of you keep thinking of us. God Bless All of You & Thank You."
