And just like that our trees are all picked clean! There's not an apple to be found on any of 'em. Our UPick has officially ended for this year. However, we have lots of apples bagged up in our Farm Store along with apple leather, apple syrup, dried apple slices, bags of processing apples, honey, pickles, etc etc.

We will be processing cider early next week and will post when our fridges are full!

Still lots of fabulous organic apples to pick! The weather is so gorgeous, so come on over to enjoy a great day at our farm. Donuts made on site, friendly farm animals to visit, beautiful hiking trails, apples already picked for you, or pick your own. This weekend, this week, and next weekend will be our last opportunities for UPick apples. Fresh organic cider will be available starting the 1st week of October!

See you soon! 🍎🍏🍏🍎🍏🍏

IT'S OFFICIAL - our UPick will open on Saturday, September 6 and then be open every day until there are no more apples left! Hours are 11:00am - 4:00pm daily.

Our prices are the same as always: large UPick bag of organic apples (about 12 pounds) is $25 and our smaller bag (about 6 pounds) is $15. It's not required that you buy a bag; you are welcome to simply come by and enjoy the animals and the orchards. There are lots of fun items in our Farm Store and of course, our friendly farm animals are anxious to see everyone again.

NEW for this season - homemade Stroopwafels !! YAY!! If the weather is good, our homemade mini donuts made "while you watch" will also be available (weekends only).

DEER APPLES - we presently have a limited supply of deer/animal apples in massive 60 lb bags for only $15. Text Marc at 613 893 6673 if you'd like to nab some!

APPLE UPDATE - things are starting to ripen! Red Canadian Melbas are being picked now, and put in the fridge. Because of the extreme drought, the apples are small, but hopefully our manual watering of the trees will help them grow! Fun Stuff on Hand : pickles, relish, two types of mustard, a few bottles of maple syrup, maple vinegar, apple cider vinegar and only a few jugs of cider! More items added weekly as we head into the busy fall season.

Our UPick should be up and running in early September. We'll keep everyone posted!

Haskap berries almost done! What we have in our Farm Fridge is what is left from all the pickin's! Price is unchanged at $10 for a full pint basket (2 1/2 cups)- almost half the price of anywhere else. When they're gone, they're gone until next year.

It's rhubarb season again! We should have fresh rhubarb daily for the next 3 weeks or so. Price is the same as it has been for the last 3 years! $6 for a 2 lb bag

We've also bottled up more apple cider vinegar, have a limited supply of "tapped on the farm" maple syrup AND decadent maple butter!!

We are very pleased to announce that the award-winning Celtic band, Arise & Go, is once again giving a St. Patrick's Day house party concert at Loughborough Orchard next Sunday. And yes - there will be cider served! You may recall that this band entertained everyone at our first Open Farms Event. Seating is limited to only 40. Tickets available through Eventbrite.

An afternoon of Celtic music with international trio Arise & Go!

Wishing all our neighbours a wonderful holiday season, and all the best for 2025. Thank you for a great year!

We still have a few pots of our delicious apple butter available (perfect for a small gift), and about 80 jugs of 2 litre cider and 80 jugs of 1 litre cider.

Hot Mulled Cider: gently simmer 1 litre of apple cider with a stick or two of cinnamon, a whole mandarin orange (poke holes in the skin) or some slices of regular orange, a few whole cloves, a star anise tossed in if you have it and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Delish!

It's happening! We are pressing all our fresh cider for the year this weekend. Although UPick Season is now officially over, Cider Season has just begun! All our fridges and freezers will be full, for sure. Did we mention that our cider was the Silver Medalist for the entire province at the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Convention for 2023? Please forgive us if we continue to mention that :)

The public is welcome to stop by, see the cider press in action, grab some cider, enjoy our farm, hiking trails, and super-friendly animals.

Orchard Update! Both of our orchards are almost picked clean! We have about 5 trees that have apples WAY up high. But we've got poles for anyone who wants to pick-their-own apples from the treetops!

In our Farm Store we have lots of already picked apples, apple sauce, apple cider vinegar, our very popular "Almost Good Enough" processing apples, pickles, relish, mustard, apple leather and freshly made apple juice. Everything apple is organic, as always

Fresh Cider pressing will happen within the next two weeks!

Ready to pick? Although we are still recovering from a disastrous year last year, our trees have apples for you! Not a ton ... a bit spotty ... not big (SO hot this year) but always organic and delicious. Come on over any day between 11 and 4. It's "self serve" during the week, and volunteers ready to assist you on the weekends. Large "apple bags" are inside the Farm Store on the table. $25 per bag and fill as full as you like.

We have two orchards: a very large orchard on your right as you drive in, and a smaller orchard on your left as you head towards the barn past our house. The smaller orchard has more apples! Heritage Mac, Spartan, Canadian Red Atlas and some trees that we have never been able to identify.

See you soon!

We have just picked our organic pears and, in very limited quantities, they are bagged up and in our fridge on a "first come, first served" basis. $8 for a 3 pound bag.

Pears ripen from the inside out. Let them finish ripening on the counter (a hint of yellow means they are ripe) or let them ripen in the fridge for a longer period of time.
