Nature's Gift Orchard

Small and well managed farm. Friendly and welcoming staff. They have apple products, however no apple pick, which is what we were looking for.

Out of the world apple juice! Must try. Highly recommended

Wonderfully, quaint orchard. Built playgrounds for the little ones, tractor ride, cute little shop. Very nice staff. Lost my phone and they were so wonderful and helped me find it.$5 per person that goes to whatever items you want to get in the shop.

I had not seen my two boys - 6 and 8 - so happy in a long time. As soon as we left the place they were already asking, in-between apple tart bites, to go back there the following weekend. My very sensitive 8 year old even said it was the first time he had been on a farm that didn't smell bad.
My usually picky eaters ate some of the apples they picked straight from the trees. They didn't even care the apples were on the smallish side and not as pretty as the ones from the grocery store. The 6 year old just kept on munching and repeating that they are healthier because they are organic.
Then came the chickens. The 8 year old, who usually won't stop talking about Minecraft chickens (and dragons, for that matter), was fascinated with the real ones. He felt like a chicken charmer making them follow his movements from one end of the coop to the other, laughing and smiling all the way.
They also loved playing with Christeen, one of the neighbour's lovely dogs. What an awesome apple retriever! My kids have recently gotten afraid of dogs because of the unfriendly ones who live next door to us and it was great being able to show them not all dogs are scary. In fact, they both said the dog was their favourite part of the visit.
Instead of them begging to stop at McDonald's, we went home and had spaghetti with the organic tomato sauce purchased - along with honey, maple syrup, apple cider, pie and pear jam - from the small Orchard store. The boys finished eating and asked for "the delicious apple pie" for desert. Not chocolate, not candy, but organic, honey-sweetened apple pie. I could barely recognize them!
I've been going through difficult times since my divorce, in part due to my ex making up all sorts of accusations trying to take the boys away from me. She claims they need the the backyard and pets I cannot have in my rental condo. Well, next time it comes up I'll show her today's pictures and ask whether an orchard with dogs and chickens will do.
Thank you for the wonderful Nature's Gift. Your Orchard brought me tears of joy.

Great farm with delicious apples, cider, honey, maple syrup, and more. Fun activity for the kids to go on a wagon ride and do some apple picking. Fun activity for me to sit and eat delicious mini pies while they labour.
