According to the farm's website, the Lemon Family first came to Berrien County in 1834 and established its present farm on Lemon Creek Road in 1855. Benjamin Lemon had a saw mill on a creek near Berrien Springs, MI, the creek thus became known as "Lemon's Creek." Time went by and the old dirt road that ran parallel to the creek was eventually named Lemon Creek Road.
Today, the family operates a fruit farm where you can pick or select pre-picked items. The farm does offer washing facilities to clean your treasure before you bring it home. All the fruit is sold by the pound.
As many other vineyards in the Southwest Michigan area, the Lemon family opened a winery 1984.
