• Apple Picking: I’ve been to apple orchards in St-Hilaire and Île-d’Orléans, but never knew this place existed until I moved to Vaudreuil. A few neighbors recommended it to me, and I’m so glad they did! The variety of apples is fantastic, and the best part? It’s ALL organic! There are even some varieties I didn’t know about.
I’ve seen some comments about the prices being high, but honestly, I think it’s more than fair when you consider the work involved in organic farming on such a large scale. The orchard is incredibly well-maintained, and the taste of fresh, organic apples is a game-changer. After learning how supermarket apples can be picked up to a year in advance and treated with chemicals to extend shelf life, I’ll never buy those again!
• Corn Maze: I had no idea they also have themed corn mazes! On weekends, they even have animators in costume who provide the storyline, which adds to the experience. I’ve always wanted to try one, and it was so much fun. It’s kid-friendly but still challenging enough for adults. My toddler and I had a blast navigating the maze.
• Boutique, Staff, and Amenities: The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The on-site pastries, especially the apple muffins and apple crumbles, are delicious! There are plenty of picnic tables to relax at, and the kids’ playground and toys are perfect for keeping little ones entertained. They also have a small petting zoo with a variety of animals, but my favourites were the llama, donkey, and adorable goats.
They also have a great variety of pumpkins and squashes, including some unique kinds I’ve never encountered before, which is pretty cool. They definitely offer an impressive selection of produce.
It’s a perfect spot for a family outing or a fun day with friends! The boutique offers a wide selection of local products, from honey to maple syrup and organic garlic that’s absolutely divine.
Overall: Everything about this place is fantastic. Highly recommend!
