Our take

What the record actually confirms

Wasem Fruit Farm sits at 6580 Judd Rd in Milan, Washtenaw County, between Ypsilanti and Milan in Southeast Michigan. The record lists a phone number of 734-482-2342 and a website at wasemfruitfarm.com. It offers u-pick apples, u-pick pumpkins, a cider mill, and cider donuts, and the research notes describe it as known for over a dozen u-pick apple varieties.

What makes this farm distinctive within the file is what it grows besides apples: the record specifically calls out currants and gooseberries, which the research notes describe as an uncommon crop for the region. That’s a genuinely differentiating detail — most orchards in this file stick to apples, pumpkins, and maybe peaches or blueberries, so a farm selling currants and gooseberries stands out for anyone looking for something beyond the usual fall lineup.

A real sourcing gap

Here’s the most important caveat for this record: wasemfruitfarm.com itself did not resolve when this research pass tried to fetch it directly — a DNS lookup failure, meaning the tool couldn’t even reach the site to read its pages, let alone confirm current details from them. Every piece of information in this record instead comes from third-party sources: localwiki.org, michiganfarmfun.com, and upickfarmsusa.com, all aggregator or community-wiki sites describing the farm rather than the farm describing itself.

That matters more here than at most other entries in this file. Even orchards whose sites returned errors like an HTTP 403 or a TLS certificate mismatch were at least reachable enough to know the site exists and is presumably still active. A DNS failure raises a slightly different question — it’s worth double-checking that wasemfruitfarm.com and the phone number 734-482-2342 are both still current before relying on them, since a domain that won’t resolve can sometimes mean a lapsed registration rather than a temporary glitch. This draft doesn’t have enough information to say which is the case here, only that it’s worth confirming.

Season timing is vague by design

The season is described only as “shortly after Labor Day through early November” — general seasonal language rather than a specific date range. Unlike orchards such as Diehl’s or Country Mill Farms elsewhere in this file, which either state or come close to stating exact 2026 dates, this timing reads like something that could sit unchanged on a listing year after year rather than being refreshed for the current season. No hours, address confirmation, or pricing were found either, which is a wider set of gaps than most other Southeast Michigan entries in this file.

Cider, donuts, and the unpasteurized detail

One specific, useful thing the record does confirm: the cider here is unpasteurized and homemade, and donuts are made fresh daily during the season. Unpasteurized cider is a distinct product from the more common pasteurized cider sold at larger operations, and it’s the kind of detail that matters to people with a preference either way — worth knowing going in, even though the record doesn’t say anything about how it’s sold or priced.

Where else to find Wasem produce

The research notes add one more practical detail: Wasem sells surplus produce at the Ann Arbor Farmers’ Market in addition to the farm itself. That’s a real alternative for anyone in the Ann Arbor area who wants Wasem’s apples, currants, or gooseberries without making the drive to Milan, though the record doesn’t say which days or what selection shows up at the market stand versus the farm.

Bottom line for planning

Wasem Fruit Farm has a genuinely interesting product lineup — unpasteurized cider, daily donuts, and unusual crops like currants and gooseberries alongside a dozen-plus apple varieties. But this is one of the least verifiable records in the file: the farm’s own site couldn’t be reached at all, so a phone call to 734-482-2342 is the only real way to confirm current hours, pricing, and whether the farm is still operating as described before making the trip.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The record describes the season only as running 'shortly after Labor Day through early November,' which is too generic to convert into specific dates — worth a call to confirm before planning around it.

What to bring

  • a call to 734-482-2342 before visiting, since the farm's website could not be reached directly during research

Who it suits

Good for

  • u-pick apples across a dozen-plus varieties
  • unpasteurized, homemade cider and fresh donuts
  • unusual finds like currants and gooseberries alongside apples
  • u-pick pumpkins in the same visit

Skip it if

you need confirmed hours or a specific picking date — none were found in this record, and the orchard's own website couldn't be reached to check directly.
