About Pavolka Fruit Farm
Pavolka Fruit Farm is a seasonal fruit market on North Wozniak Road on the rural edge of Michigan City. It sells fruit already picked at the market and opens its orchard for U-pick apples in season, so you can either shop the stand or head out into the orchard and pick your own.
The farm keeps an apple chart on its website describing its varieties and which are best for salads, baking and sauce, which helps if you are picking for a particular recipe. Apple U-pick has closed for 2026, and the market's last day of the year was October 14, 2026, so plan a return trip next summer and fall.
During the season the market posts hours of 9 am to 5 pm every day. The phone number goes to a recorded message, so listen to it before you drive out.
Lakeside Lavender and Herbs is in the La Porte area, about 25 minutes southeast. A summer day can take in the lavender rows and then a fruit stop on the way back toward Michigan City and the lakeshore.
