Located in the heart of southern Michigan's Amish Country, Nottawa Fruit Farm provides an escape to yesteryear, be it the appeal of fresh home-grown produce, the entertainment or the serenity of the countryside it offers unequaled appeal for its visitors.

Don and Eleanor Iott, both retired educators, own and operate Nottawa Fruit Farm. Although "Farming" in the Nottawa area can be traced back several generations on Eleanor's side, the retail business was begun with the planting of one-half acre of strawberries and then selling them from a card table in their front yard. The "store" that one sees today originally was a large drive-through corn crib constructed by Eleanor's father over sixty years ago across the highway on the family farm. The building's metamorphosis began in 1988 with a bakery and other subsequent additions as the customer growth warranted additional modifications. The Iotts remain firmly committed to the concept of offering their customers the freshest, home-grown produce available in a clean, friendly enviornment, and they are also dedicated to providing wholesome activities for families. Visit the family-like market during the various fresh produce seasons, May-October.
