Admission and apples are sold as one bundle here, which makes the cheapest way in a $15 quarter-peck — but every extra person needs a $10 wristband, and the orchard opens Friday to Sunday only.
Apple-picking packages each include one admission wristband: quarter peck $15, half peck $20, one peck $30. Extra wristbands are $10 each and extra apple bags are $12. Seniors 65+ pay $7 for a wristband plus a quarter peck of apples. Children under 2 get a free wristband with no bag. Active military receive a 10% discount.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Jollay runs a bundled model that is genuinely different from most Michigan orchards, and it repays a couple of minutes of arithmetic before you arrive. There is no separate admission price and no free entry. Instead, apples and access are sold together.
Three Pick Your Peck packages: $15 for a quarter peck, $20 for a half peck, $30 for a full peck. Each includes one wristband. Extra wristbands are $10 each, and extra apple bags are $12.
The key detail is that the wristband count does not scale with the bag. Buying a full peck at $30 gets you one wristband, exactly as the $15 quarter peck does. So a group of four cannot solve their entry by buying more fruit — they need three additional wristbands regardless.
That produces a floor of $45 for four people: one $15 quarter peck plus three $10 wristbands. If everyone wants their own bag, the cheapest structure is four separate quarter-peck packages at $15 each, or $60 — the same as one full peck plus three wristbands, but with four bags of apples instead of one. Worth thinking about at the till, because the $12 extra apple bag is the worse of the two ways to add fruit.
Two groups do better than everyone else. Seniors 65 and over pay $7 for a wristband plus a quarter peck, which undercuts the standard quarter-peck package by more than half. Children under 2 get a free wristband, though without a bag. Active military get 10% off.
Fall hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5:30pm. There is no weekday version of this orchard in autumn, so a Tuesday drive to Coloma achieves nothing.
Friday is the quiet member of that trio at the same price and the same hours, and in Berrien County during October that matters — this is the corridor that carries Chicago-bound weekend and leaf-season traffic, and Saturday is the day it peaks.
The 5:30pm close is earlier than most farms in this batch. In mid-September that is comfortably light. By the last weekend of October it is close to dusk, which changes the last hour of a visit considerably. Plan to arrive by early afternoon rather than treating the closing time as the target.
The orchard gives a season of August 28 to November 1 in one place and publishes Friday-to-Sunday hours covering September 3 to October 30 in another. Nothing on the site reconciles them, and neither figure carries a year. That is not necessarily a problem — the wider range may cover the market or pre-picked sales while the narrower one covers the u-pick weekends — but it does mean the first and last weekends of the season are worth a phone call rather than a guess.
The orchard describes 2026 as its 170th harvest season, which is a long enough run that the operation is unlikely to surprise you in any other way.
U-pick apples and grapes, a pumpkin patch, hayrides, a farm market selling cider donuts, caramel apples and local products, picnic areas with charcoal grills, and a haunted house.
The haunted house is the loose end. For an orchard this size in Berrien County it is an unusual addition, and it sits alongside a daytime family operation rather than replacing it. But no dates, no hours and no price are published for it. If a haunted house is the reason someone in your group wants to come, treat that as unconfirmed until you have asked.
The grills are the underrated feature. A farm that sets up picnic areas with charcoal is inviting you to bring lunch rather than buy it, and on a bundled-ticket site that is the one meaningful way to hold the total down.
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 10am to 5:30pm. There is no weekday option in the fall, so a midweek drive to Coloma is wasted. The orchard states a season of August 28 to November 1 while its published Friday-to-Sunday hours cover September 3 to October 30, and the site does not reconcile the two — so both ends of the season are worth confirming. Aim for the first half of the day; a 5:30pm close is early by farm standards and later in October it is close to dusk.
Two to three hours for picking, a hayride and the pumpkin patch. Longer if you are using the picnic areas, which come with charcoal grills.
Three operating days a week concentrates a Berrien County orchard's demand into the weekend, and southwest Michigan carries heavy Chicago-bound leaf and lakeshore traffic through October. Friday is the same price and the same hours as Saturday, which makes it the obvious choice if your week allows it.
Not published. Assume grass or gravel on a working orchard, soft after autumn rain.
You wanted a cheap look around. There is no free entry — everyone needs a wristband, and the cheapest route in is a $15 quarter-peck package. Skip it if you can only travel on a weekday, and skip planning specifically around the haunted house, because no separate schedule or price for it is published anywhere we could find.
Admission is bundled with apple picking. The Pick Your Peck packages are $15 for a quarter peck, $20 for a half peck and $30 for a full peck, and each one includes a single wristband. Anyone else in your group needs a $10 wristband on top.
The cheapest route is one $15 quarter-peck package plus three $10 wristbands, or $45. With a full peck instead it is $60. Under-2s are free but do not get a bag, so a family with a baby pays $35 at the low end.
No. Fall hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5:30pm, as published by the orchard for September 3 to October 30. The orchard separately describes its season as August 28 to November 1, and does not explain the difference, so confirm before travelling at either end.
Unknown. The orchard lists a haunted house among its attractions but publishes no separate schedule or price for it. If it is the reason you are coming, call 269-468-3075 first rather than assuming it runs during the daytime hours.
August 28 – November 1, 2026. Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the fall season. Hours: 10:00am-5:30pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday from September 3 to October 30 (fall hours as published by the orchard).
Admission starts at $10 per person. Apple-picking packages each include one admission wristband: quarter peck $15, half peck $20, one peck $30. Extra wristbands are $10 each and extra apple bags are $12. Seniors 65+ pay $7 for a wristband plus a quarter peck of apples. Children under 2 get a free wristband with no bag. Active military receive a 10% discount.
1850 Friday Road, Coloma, MI 49038, in Berrien County. It is one of 3 patches we track in Southwest Michigan.
We track 3 patches in Southwest Michigan, 1 of which are free to walk into. At $10 a head this one sits below the regional median of $12.99, undercutting 1 of the 2 paid patches we track here.
Its season runs about 66 days against a regional average of 58, so it is a notably longer window than most of its neighbours, which takes the pressure off picking a weekend.
What sets it apart locally: it has an after-dark attraction, which most Southwest Michigan patches on our list do not.
