Southeast corner of Novi and Ten Mile roads.
Erwin Orchards.

I drove this stretch of Ten Mile Road, yesterday, and some of the orchard remains and is visible about 1/4 mile east of Novi Road.

A Walgreens now sits in this spot and all four corners of this intersection are fully developed. The Erwin Farms & Orchards eventually moved to a subsequent location at Silver Lake and Kent Lake Roads in South Lyon. The Erwin family successfully ran the farm and cider mill for more than 100 years until it just recently sold to Blake's in 2022.

24100 Novi Rd, Novi, MI 48375

My grampa used to take me there around 1972.
