Pumpkin Harvest Festival

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The weather couldn't have been better.
Time to change our focus to PUMPKINS!

Our harvest festival is now in full swing each weekend in October with a lot of fun activities. We've worked hard this summer to bring in new activities for you to enjoy and they've been well received. Our pedal karts are always in use, Billy Goat Mountain, our new slide has received rave reviews and the wagon train brings lots of smiles to people's faces - it's great for the toddlers.

Check out our website for complete details on our festival.

Honey Crisp apples are on special until October 15th for $1.49lb or as long as supplies last. A good chance to try them - they're very juicy with a sweet hint of watermelon flavour.

We hope to have mutsu apples available this week. They are great for eating and baking.

Don't forget that our farm is open until December 24th. We also have fresh turkeys available for Christmas.

Enjoy the fall, it's been beautiful so far.
