Looking for Hickories: The Forgotten Wildness of the Rural Midwest
Looking for Hickories: The Forgotten Wildness of the Rural Midwest is a collection of essays by Tom Springer of Three Rivers. The stories chronicle the people and native landscape of southwest Michigan—including Dayton Hubbard / Corey Lake Orchards (!)—with a style that’s been compared to Bill Bryson and Garrison Keillor. Published by University of Michigan Press, “Hickories” was named a Michigan Notable Book for 2008. Signed copies available at the Corey Lake Orchards.

Babcock’s Apiary
For many years, Corey Lake Orchards has sold a variety of honey products from Babcock’s Apiary. The apiary has been around since 1993, the year proprietors Corky & Brenda decided on a family hobby that would be both educational and fun.
Babcock’s Apiary is located on the hills of Coon Hollow Road, here in Fabius Township. Even though there is (yet) no medical proof that consuming locally produced honey will help with seasonal allergies, many of our customers are convinced it works. And we are pleased to provide their relief!
