Grand Rapids Kalamazoo Battle Creek, MI, September 30, 2026 —
The popular “Just For Kids U-Pick program” is set to return for its second consecutive year across Michigan, following a successful inaugural run. The initiative aims to connect young people with agriculture and the origins of their food.
This year’s program features ten participating orchards located throughout the state. Among the venues hosting the activities is Ed Dunneback & Girls Farm, situated in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The “Just For Kids U-Pick program” is scheduled to run through the month of October. The primary objective of the program is to provide an educational experience for children, allowing them to learn firsthand about locally grown food. Participants can expect to engage in a variety of activities designed to be both informative and enjoyable, offering insights into farming practices and the seasonal harvest.
While the program’s return highlights a growing interest in agricultural education for children, further details regarding the specific types of activities offered at each of the ten participating orchards were not immediately available. The success of the program’s first year has paved the way for its expansion, with organizers looking to build on the positive reception received in its initial launch.
