This is a lovely orchard but be prepared to spend $100+ for a family of 4. $5 Entry fee per person. $45 to be able to pick one bag of'premium' apples, $25 for regular. The labyrinth? Additional cost of $15/20 per.

I went apple picking with my 22 month old & my partner. We arrived , 2 guides working strictly on parking duty guided us & we managed to get a spot inside. Entrance is about $5.50 per adult & under 3 years old it's free. Then you pay per big or small bag. For regular apples it's a certain price. For higher grade apples called « selection » you pay a different price. Depending on what you pay, you will pick in different sections. I decided to purchase 2 big bags. I make apple sauce for my little one. Total was about $85. We left the stroller & the baby's bag in the designated area, but you do not have to. & upon our return after apple picking the stroller & the bag were still there. We went on the tractor, went down in a section for people who purchased the « selection » bags. I ate at least 3 apples on the spot to decide on the ones i liked best, lots of ladders, lots of apples on the trees, some apples low, some high. Lots of apples on the ground too but hey that's what apple picking is about. We ran out of time but they also have a pumpkin patch. You pay per pumpkin from what i understood. Anyhow, after picking apples we hopped back on the tractor, went to the little farm they have in the front to see the chicken, bunnies, donkey, ducks & goats. Goat food can be purchased, it's a handful for 30 cents. My toddler enjoyed running & watching the ducks. There's also a little play area with 2 slides, climbing area, 1 small car & lots of tables & benches to have a picnic. We didn't need to go to the bathroom so i cannot comment on that. After feeding the goats, we passed by the little boutique & purchased some apple muffins, apple cider, tarts & apple butter. Total was around $80.They also have ice cream, frozen soup. All in all, we were very happy about our first time there & will definitely go back! Btw all the apples are organic. Yeah sure the prices are high compared to simply buying apples at the grocery store & afterall we are doing the labour by picking the apples but it's all about the experience. The farm also has it's own costs about maintenance, employees, etc.

Vaiour types of apple. Regular ones at about $22 per bag. The specialty apples are a little pricey. A small material bag is $39. They have two types of apples that they grow only there! The Rosinette & Poune. The Rosinette were delicious! The staff are friendly & there is a good variety of animals to pet. I recommend bringing your own chopped carrots as it costs $0.25 for 4 pieces of corn from the machine. The shop was great! Pies, ciders, sauces, & so much more! Nice farm! 5.50$ to get in, kids under 3 are free. Bring mosquito spray, they were hungry!
