The Orleans Fruit Farm has been around for 70+ years they grow many items including Raspberries:
Blueberries, Apples, Sweet Corn, Vegetables and Pumpkins. They have a booth that is open to purchase these items but the real fun is the 'Pick-your-own' section. Starting in September we head over to pick the apples fresh from the tree. The variety of apples available coupled with the tractor ride bumping along the path to the end of the orchard is a treat that every member of the family will cherish.
This coupled with the fact that the farm is located so close within the city makes for an ideal outing. We visited on Labour Day (2005) and noted the price for apples at the 'Pick-your-own' was 50 cents a pound. Click on any photo to enlarge.
