Saint-Francois

Desserts & Sweets Regional

Mentioned in: Pumpkin Picking Within an Hour of Montreal: 2024 Guide

Review Summary

Ferme Forget is described as a welcoming, family friendly destination with a wide range of activities for kids, including a huge maize maze, a corn field, a maize pool, animal encounters, tractor rides, and opportunities for pick-your-own pumpkins, flowers and other produce. Visitors repeatedly note the friendly staff and a bright, inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to spend an hour or more, especially on weekdays when the place can feel almost private. The scenery is beautiful and seasonal decor plus opportunities to pick flowers or fruit add to the appeal, along with a well stocked shop and fresh produce. Fresh fruits and vegetables are praised for quality, with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pumpkins, apples and corn frequently mentioned. Practical notes include limited shade and few picnic tables by the food truck, with some activities like the mini farm mostly paid, but these do not overshadow the overall family friendly experience. In terms of overall impression, Ferme Forget stands out as a place to visit with kids for a mix of play, farming, animals and seasonal decor, and many say they would return.View restaurant profile
