Display Allpomme(44) apple(42) domaine(13) famille(11) enfants(11) orchard(11) bistro(10) cider(10) family(8) varieties(8) magnifique(8) beigne(8)A large orchard with a wide variety of apples. It's especially worth mentioning that their brandy tastes great.
The good: entertainment for kids & live musicians, animals & food options.
The Bad: Too commercial for our taste & the apple variety was limited. Also, some food options & drinks were overpriced compared to nearby farms.
The Ugly: You have to pay entrance fee for Apple picking & then pay your bag according to its volume at the end. Not cool.
Very friendly place. We went for a walk through the apple trees. Season is over, but we were still able to enjoy the place & our afternoon. The view from their food place is amazing.
The best fried apple doughnuts around! They are great for days in the fridge & are rugged enough to slice & toast like a bagel! Bonus: baby animals! Gorgeous terrain. We had a dégustation in the shop & everything was so tasty we took home one of each!
I visited this place recently after 5-6 years, & it's changed quite a lot. It's very crowded now, but still has a nice atmosphere & is full of life. However, I was not happy with the back bag inspection after finishing the pick-up, which felt unnecessary. There's a $4 entrance fee, plus additional charges for apple bags. Another issue is that the tractor ride back is only for return trips & tends to be very crowded, which could be managed bette
It is a very nice place, it is very organized & has many playgrounds within the orchard. It has many apple varieties & the ones we picked are sweet/delicious. The people that work there are very nice & my family & I enjoyed going there.
Spring has flowers. Fall has apples. Great place overall to go. Bistro, pkayground, shop, great local products. Staff are exeptionnal.
A very nice place with many apple trees. In May, you can visit to see the beautiful apple blossoms. There's a local farm market where they sell various apple based products. The on-site restaurant is clean & pleasant. I recommend trying the grilled chicken sandwich & sitting upstairs, where you can enjoy a nice view of the garden.
This is our go to sunny Sunday convertible drive destination. Spring through fall there is always something good to taste. Apple products, good food & for those that enjoy alcohol there is gin & wine & cider.
Amazing. You can pick different kinds of apple & outside you can buy apple wine. In weekends is super crowded & busy. In weekends finding a parking spot is not that much easy
Excellent locations, tons of apple varieties & well suited for kids & families of all ages. Tractor rides (included) for the young & old. I'd recommend getting a loaner wagon once you come in, apple bags get heavy quickly! Apple donuts are fantastic! Start with a stop at the bakery (just feet before the entrance) & grab an apple cider & apple donut. You won't regret it. Some of the best apples are at the back of the orchard, consult the maps all over the site & seek out some of the varieties you haven't heard of as much. Adults, take a quick visit to the distillery at the top of the hill & try some of the great spirits they make there, it's well worth your time to stop in & taste. All in all highly enjoyable, expect to spend about 2-3 hours here.
Beautiful orchard on a hill top providing amazing views of the rural landscape & Montreal from afar. Great varieties of apples to pick from. Small goat farm & plenty of activities for children & adults!
Huge place, huge orchard! Delicious apple donuts. It was very very packed though, I presume due to the popularity of their orchard, donuts & distillery!
A bit disappointed that there were no more honeycrisps or galas left to pick, & it was only the second weekend of the honey crisp season. I think that could have been mentioned at the entrance or communicated over social media, because most people come for those two kinds of apples as they are rarely offered for u-pick. Many people drive long distances, just for that. & yes, the crowds were insane, long lines at the store, washrooms, donuts, & we had to park quite far away along the road.
Creating high-quality indigenous cider in Lafrance that reflects the region's apple varieties, production techniques, & an original recipe would involve the following key elements: 1. Apple Varieties Unique to Quebec: Quebec has a rich heritage of apple varieties that can lend unique characteristics to cider. Some prominent varieties include: McIntosh: A classic Quebec variety known for its sweet-tart balance, often used in cider for its crispness. Cortland: Similar to McIntosh but with a slightly sweeter flavor. Empire: A cross between McIntosh & Red Delicious, providing a complex flavor with both sweet & tart notes. Spartan: A sweeter apple, good for adding richness to a cider blend. Lobo: A tangy variety ideal for adding acidity & crispness to the cider.
