Building with our Community

Schell Family Farm – Who are we? Why are we doing this?

Building a Family Legacy around Farming, and Community.

Owners Chris & Dea Schell have big plans to transform their 250-acre property in Putnam Township and Pinckney into an agricultural tourism and entertainment destination. Opened to the public in August 2019, they had an inspiring opening season. As with all new businesses the farm experienced several trials and tribulations throughout the year. Using these lessons from their inaugural season, they are launching into 2020 with an increased vision of what it takes to make the farm even more successful. Their vision is as brilliant as the annual sunflower bloom, focusing on turning the farm into a hub of year round activities. These activities currently span from July to November starting with the Sunflower season, and ending after Halloween when Ghostly Grove the Haunted Attraction closes. The Schell Family farm places a great deal of emphasis on our impact within the Community. Creating events that focus on bringing together friends and family, strengthening the bonds that build a better Community for all of us!

It's the last weekend of the fall season! Our hours are- Friday 12:00 - late, Saturday 10:00 - late, and Sunday 10:00 - 3:00. (Friday and Saturday transition into Ghostly Grove, which we are still open for).

We have pumpkins picked and ready by the barn if you don't want to go out searching in the rain.

ETA - wagon rides Saturday noon - 2ish.

It's your last chance for donuts and cider/slushies.

Our u-pick apples are done, but we still have a limited amount in the barn.

Hope to see you this weekend! We may even have a little treat if we see the little ones in their costumes.

Here's some pics of our kids carving their pumpkins. Feel free to share yours! ... See MoreSee Less
