About Heritage Farms Market
Heritage Farms Market sits on land that has stayed in one family since just after the Civil War. Henry Becker, a sergeant in the 5th Michigan Cavalry who lost a leg at Gettysburg, received the 80-acre parcel and married Isabelle in 1865. Dave and Mary Zeerip started the roadside produce stand in the late 1960s, and the farm now calls itself a fifth-generation operation. One of the original barns dates to the early 1900s, and the event barn is named for Henry and Isabelle.
The 2026 fall season runs August 25 through November 7. A wristband covers the geography-themed USA Corn Maze, which changes each year, plus the giant jumping pillow, playground, game area, farm animals and the u-pick pumpkin patch. The 18-hole Farmer Dave and Mary mini golf course runs May 15 through October 31, and the I Spy hayride through woods and apple orchards runs on October weekends.
The petting zoo has cows, a donkey, a mule and goats, and the hayride passes elk, bison and Scottish Highland cattle; baby bison and elk are on the farm in summer. Goats also cross a balance-beam course on the Ninja Goat Walk. Cider is pressed on site without preservatives and goes into cider slushies, and the market sells donuts, baked goods and fresh produce. School tours and a rentable event barn round it out.
Sleepy Creek Lavender Co. near White Cloud is roughly 20 to 25 minutes northeast. Its website sells its steam-distilled lavender goods online and does not list public visiting days, so plan on Heritage as the outing and order lavender ahead.
