Here are some orchard options around our area to get out an explore!

Mountain Orchards
10175 Clark Road, Mountain ON K0E 1S0

In operation since 1973 this apple orchard is a favourite! They offer wagon rides, pre-picked and pick your own apples of many varieties and lot’s of great activities for the whole family. Paying cash is being encouraged this year in order to minimize lineups at the checkouts. We find that by avoiding the use of cards lineups are kept to a minimum. If that is not convenient for you we still accept credit and debit cards. www.mountainorchards.ca

This conveniently located orchard offers several different varieties of apples that are all hand picked from their 800+ full-size trees most of which are more than 50 years old.
