Meet the owners and learn about the future of the farm

Meet the Owners
Meet Mark & Chylie Sweeney. We are full-time farmers whose families have been farming for many generations. We were married in 2019 and have lived in Melvin for longer. In 2020, Chylie opened Schramm's Farm Market in Macomb, MI on her family's centennial farm. On the Macomb farm, we grow a variety of produce, pumpkins, field crops and more. The farm market is open July-October and you can learn more about that farm here.
​
We purchased the Speaker farm, formerly known as the Lone Oak Orchard, in May 2024 to expand our farm market operations and offer our fresh produce to our community in Melvin, surrounding towns, and the Thumb.
Future of the Farm & Orchard
Speaker Farm Market & Orchard will be opening in July 2024. There will be a full stock of fresh produce including sweet corn, tomatoes, summer squash, onions, potatoes, peppers and much more. As we undertake the bakery, we will start to offer delicious pies and baked goods again.
​
The fall season will be complete with pumpkins, all kinds of fall decor, and u-pick opportunities. Check back to our events page for upcoming events for the whole family.
​
Field Trips and group gatherings can be booked starting the 2nd or 3rd week of September. Contact us to learn more or send us a suggestion of what you would like to see on the farm.
