When we went, it was packed with kids for about an hour then everyone was leaving, I didn't know it was because they were paving the road you come in & out of & we barely got out just in time before getting stuck there.
This rushed our stay there & we just left since everyone was leaving. I think they should have refused ppl that day. You drive so far all to be rushed.
Nice ppl, great rustic shop with self-serve tea & coffee you can purchase. It offers a freezer section of the goods they sell fresh, at a discount, or pay premium for fresh. So you can leave with local goods either way.
The pie that you can order is fresh & hot in a box. Around $13.
Truthfully the apple Pie is very pretty ordered fresh (mounded), when you buy made to order, vs frozen pie $10. The frozen pie is flat with less filling so much smaller. I bought both. Fresh was better.
Its the first time I sat down with a warm pie & coffee outside, & ate a piece in this way straight from the box. The crust is ok not greasy just right. Its natural so you do not have lots of sugar, butter or spices. Its a real natural apple pie. It's different than my homemade pie, but for purchased, it still tastes homey. I suggest trying a piece before u get the whole pie its worth doing this, incase you don't want to invest in the entire pie. If you do so you can get other goodies if it's not your cup of tea.
There are Artisan cutting boards, maple syrup, local honey, freezer meals for sale etc.
Great local honey I bought a huge jar it's different in taste, & being it was blueberry variety it was different. The staff was super friendly. Its a beautiful drive there from the South Shore.
I still recommend you try everything first on individual order, & the cider donuts were a no brainer. However we had aftertaste afterwards tasting the oil they are fried in. Again making things at home you can control these factors. Being a Friday, it was old oil that they were fried in. They taste great when you eat them, then it kicks in. Try first before buying a box.
I recommend this orchard if you have kids. If not look to other orchards with more adult activities, & options so you have something to do while there & will not be disappointed driving all that way. The play park & pirate theme is child friendly on a small scale. They seem to offer trailer rides & the animals they had were rabbits & a couple of goats.
Lots of hornets in swarms come to you if you are outside, though unavoidable. We were bitten & still have welts weeks later. I recommend long sleeves & pants which we had, but additional layers. Watch out if you are allergic. There should be a control over this. They love the smell of pie or donuts. I've not experienced this at other venues perhaps due to control & deterrents where ppl sit or walk around. You need bees not hornets.
For people & kids with allergies to yellow jackets be very careful.
It is definitely kid friendly. There is a fee for the orchard & animals even if you just want to walk around not picking any apples of $2.00.
The apples were sold prebagged for $10+ but again kiosk was closed so we did not even get any apples.
I was expecting more activity & the restaurant open, across from the shop, but the kiosks were closed on a Friday. Maybe weekends are busier.
I would go back for the drive, & to pickup honey & cider donuts just for the outing.
Bathrooms available incase anyone was wondering. Not quiet as a venue, as its kids oriented. So expect it over the weekend.
The pictures are just of the veranda & orchard not the entire location. I did not want to post personal pictures.
Awesome staff, a bouch of toys for kids, golf cart to move around available for free, friendly animals. You can come pick apples, pumpkin & more! I will definitely come back here.
Incredible place to go pumpkin picking, you get to go into the patch & pick yourself. Tons of activities for kids with so many park play areas. Staff is so helpful & pleasant. A1, highly recommend!!!
J'ai jamais vu autant de parcs pour enfant sur un seul & même site. Les pommes sont bonnes, & les 2 petites fermettes ont fait le bonheur de mes jeunes enfants.
Un verger fantastique pour une activité en famille ou même entre amoureux. Il y a une tonne de choses à acheter à l'intérieur de la bâtisse & à l'extérieur Il y a plein de modules de jeu tout autour des endroits pour cueillir les pommes. Je vous recommande grandement les beignets aux pommes, ils sont délicieux.
I am quite impressed! This is a paradise for young children. They literally have tens of variable playgrounds around the farm. A pirate themed tractor ride, many petting zoos with goats, pigs, poneys, chicken & a house of bunnies! Like the rest of the farm, the orchard itself is very well maintained & trees are trained for easier picking. Add here 2$ entry fee & a very reasonably priced canteen with grillades, grilled cheese, hot dogs & soup & you will have a real gem for a weekend outing! The only thing that upset me a bit is that I got mocked for my French accent by some guys working there. I mean I am trying, I'd appreciate your support.
C'est la deuxième année que nous allons au verger du Pirate. Malheureusement cette année, ils ont décidé de suivre le modèle de d'autres endroits, c'est à dire de charger un prix pour l'entrée de 2$/personne en plus des frais pour le sac de pomme (qui est est ma fois rendu assez élevé). Quelle est la logique, c'est de la cueillette de pomme, pas un parc d'attractions. Est-ce qu'il y a une fin aux augmentations? L'année prochaine vous allez charger le stationnement ou l'accès aux toilettes? Nous avons malgré tout eu une bonne expérience, beaucoup de modules un peu partout sur le site (même trop!). Beaucoup de variétés de pommes, les beignes aux pommes étaient très bien. Pour ma part, nous allons essayer un autre endroit l'année prochaine.
Best apple farm ever! The staffs are very welcoming with nice smiles & approachable😊 Theres a lot of new playing area for kids🛝 & picnic area! Apples are yummy🍎. The place is well maintained. I love their donut! Its the best😋. Will definitely comeback. Not so pricey
La qualité du site a diminué. Ce n'est pas un parc d'attraction, c'est un champ pour aller aux pommes. Il charge maintenant des frais d'entrée par personne en le justifiant avec l'ajout de module pour jeune enfants. Le verger est bien entretenu & une grande variété de pomme était disponible. Ils ont mis en place des sacs en tissu supposé réutilisables. Mais lorsque je suis arrivé cette année avec mes sacs de l'an passé, il m'ont simplement dit de les laissé dans l'auto & que j'allais en avoir d'autres. Le coût du sac est inclus dans le coût des pomme. Comme la forme du sac est pas vraiment utile ailleurs, il va finir à la poubelle. Ses supposé être écologique ça ?
Propriétaires super gentils . Superbe verger avec des produits de qualité & beaucoup de choix de pommes. Tres bien entretenu, propre, beaucoup d'espace . Parfait pour les enfants (avec les nombreuses aires de jeux). Les chiens son admis en laisse . Le prix est tres raisonnable (entree/sac). Beaucoup de stationnement. Cantine sur place sinon apportez un repas pour un pique-nique. Animaux de ferme sur place qui sont adorable ! On y retournera a coup sur !!
