Doyle's Farm Market is a lovely out-of-the-way little grocery and garden shop. If you're doing a…read moredrive down Highway 12, this is where you should make your pit stop. They've got beautiful local greens and fruits, your regular convenience items, an interesting little garden shop and array of yard statues (including the strange and mythical cow pig!), but where they really shine is the ice cream. There's about 20 different flavours including Grizzly Tracks, Blueberries and Cream, and Maple Nut. The portions are plentiful and the taste is just divine. So when you're passing through, make sure you stop, grab a few scoops, and luxuriate at the picnic tables for a few minutes. I certainly will.

What an awesome find and just an hour or so from Halifax. It's only open from May (for the…read moredelightful restaurant) until the end of blueberry picking in September. And it's well worth marking it in your calendar for a wonderful day trip. The restaurant has a fabulous menu - you must try the blueberry poppyseed dressing - on a salad, or chicken - like the smoked chicken quesedilla. They even have a children's menu. But our little ones were too little (not to mention messy) to eat in their beautiful dining room. Not a problem though. There are picnic tables just outside right next to a Koy pond and some of the gazillion blueberry bushes where you can take out a sandwich or bring your own picnic. And speaking about blueberries. This pick-your-own farm is so big, they actually have a big, air conditioned bus to take you around to the best spots to pick and then collects you after you fill up your buckets.

Had an good meal. Appetizer (Tomato soup) was the standout. It was made with fresh tomatoes and was…read moreprobably the best tomato soup I have ever had. The mains were good but my Salmon was a bit overcooked and the Scallops were good but really didn't stand out. The biggest disappointment on the mains was the vegetable stir fry. It was bland and pretty tasteless. I would have preferred to just have some fresh beans steamed. The service was great and the setting is really wonderful. Unless it is really cold or windy I suggest you sit outside. Most people were sitting inside so we had the porch to ourselves and it was definitely the best seat in the house. Overall it is great but I would say that the mains are all almost exactly $10 overpriced. It was about $80 between two of us for appetizers, a main and splitting a desert. One of us also have a glass of wine.

They grow specialty items like baby eggplants, and a wide range of Asian greens in addition to all the other fantastic produce the Annapolis Valley can produce.

After moving to the area, we were delighted to find a great market that's open 7 days a week. So…read moremuch selection here from local apples to potatoes and local preserves and frozen scallops or lobster. Absolutely everything you need and no reason to go to big box stores. There are constant 'flash' sales with random items on sale for a ridiculously low price. Follow their social media pages to find out how to get a deal. The only downside to this place is the amount of plastic wrap waste is used in the store. Literally every item is slapped in plastic so it's very discouraging. If they can get swat from thus significantly wasteful problem, this would be the best place in the neighbourhood.

The main store sells everything from cider to meat pies and everything in between! The family filled atmosphere was refreshing and the customer service was unlike any other corn maze. Everyone was so kind - especially if you get lost! They gave out maps to help show you were the varieties of apples were. The hay ride was a blast - and surprisingly long! They helped people with strollers and trouble walking up and had no trouble with any of it. Definitely one of my favourite apple picking experiences! We will be back next year hopefully for the haunted maze! Can't wait!

If you've never been to their market, you've likely never tried their ciders because they aren't…read moreavailable anywhere else or in stores. With many new flavours, the brand spanking new location is on acres and acres of their farmland right off Highway/Trunk 1; big black building, you can't miss it! The cider is what you come for. It's on tap or try a flight if you're not ready to commit to an entire glass. Bringing the kids? No problem, there's an ice cream take out window out back and doughnuts are available Thursday to Sunday. LOTS of room for them to run around the muddy fields (for now) or over into the sunflower patch. Sit outside on the back deck or under the picnic shelter. There's also seating inside if you're not into the Valley heat/humidity. There's lots of work still going on here but this is also a wonderful market with fresh produce and lots to offer. Free parking on site but this place gets packed quickly and parking spots are tougher to find. Looks like there will be a lot more expansion here as they only just opened to the public a week ago. Bottoms up!
