A fun place to check out during their sunflower field season and harvest season. Perfect for families. I like that you can reserve spots online so it doesn't become overly crowded. Something about being at a farm takes me back to my childhood. Great for kids, a fun day out, highly recommend going at least once! read more

"this place makes me so happy!" This place is amazing. Everything is so affordable and sweet. We arrived on a thanksgiving monday and it was quite busy. We also went in late season so the only apples we were allowed to pick were empire apples (good nonetheless)! Entrance fee was $3 and there was a tractor ride, corn maze, and small farm with chickens/rabbits and goats I believe. There is a beautiful cute shop with homemade jams which are delicious and raw honey. It's a great place to go with family and such a fun time! Lots of fun to see and explore. Now on the next adventure.... read more

We booked a time slot for Saturday online, which is definitely the way to go. Once we arrived we were able to go right in, whereas those who did not have reservations were told it was about an hour and a half wait. We thought the sunflowers were not available past September 8th but were pleasantly surprised that there was still a nice crop to view and take pictures. The parking lot was full when we got there, but we ended up finding a spot after two drive arounds. There was an attendant at the front, but was not very useful. I was slightly annoyed once we arrived when they asked me to show my reservation on my phone, before I could proceed. My phone had died and my car charger had broke. I ended up having to stand there trying to bring it up on my friends phone, and then being blocked by the Google email verification system. Finally they let me pass and there was an employee with an iPad who could verify my reservation in two seconds. What was the point of stressing me out when you literally had someone there who could verify it easily!? Once we were inside it got better. Loved the tractor driver - super funny. They have sunflowers, a pumpkin patch, a corn maze and some trees for Apple picking. Only the Gala, Cortland and McIntosh are available right now, which was disappointing, because I wanted a few different kinds that are good for Apple pie baking and only Cortland was available for that. They had a guy who was very informative and helped tell you where the trees were. You can fill your ten pound bag as long as it can close for $20, and then there was one smaller version. It was not overly crowded once you were in the grounds, and there was a good selection of activities, (which was a major reason for choosing this orchard) and some great props for photos. I'm not sure if the store has less items available for purchase because of covid, but we didn't find a great selection. They had some items outside, as well as gelato and some pies for sale. Then they also had honey, jams, coffee mugs etc. We were surprised they didn't offer Apple cider. After, we went and had a nice dinner at Caledon Villa Inn which was a very nice venue with incredible wait staff; and is not far from the orchard. All in all, it was a great day, but this is not my favorite orchard and I wouldn't choose to come back. It just seemed a little disorganized (especially at the beginning), would have liked more variety for purchases (my favorite place has apple cider slushees and fresh baked apple doughnuts, and just a nicer feel to it). read more

I've been here for the past three years and I keep coming back. I like to go in the early morning where it is less crowded. The market front welcome all visitors. They have pretty good pies and tarts here. On the weekends, the admission to the rest of the farm is $2.50 which also includes a tractor/wagon ride that goes around the farm. You can walk through the farm as well. They have a small area to see farm animals. The public washroom is beside it. I don't know how other visitors feel, but I don't like smelling farm animals in the washroom. Hence my one less star. They have various apple trees to pick from starting in September. By the end of the October this year there weren't any apples left to pick. I also enjoy the corn maze here because the crop grows quite high. You don't hear people on the other path like other mazes I've been to. It is a lot of fun for the kids and the path is wide enough that you can fit a stroller/wagon in. They also have hazelnuts you can pick. If you are like me who haven't a clue how to pick hazelnuts they always have a staff nearby to assist you. I come here every year for the pumpkins. They have a pretty large patch with various sizes of orange and white pumpkins to choose from. read more

Drove to Dixie Orchards this Friday morning and arrived prior to 10am opening without reservations. Sign at farm states reservations weekends only so we opted for walk-in. We were told by staff that we needed to wait for customers with reservations prior to being admitted, which was fair but we had to wait for ALL to enter. We decided to leave as lineup was getting too long as more people kept arriving. I felt that we could've been given some slack as we had a toddler in tow and arrived before busy time. Besides , not everyone has access to online services or wishes to register with usernames/password to reserve a visit. Just saying farm looks like a nice place to visit but disappointed that we weren't given an opportunity to enter. read more

I really enjoyed our time here. Yes there is an entrance fee of $2.50 per person to get into the orchard, but the price per lb is only $1.40 (approximately). They have a good variety of apples and some activities for the kids. I did wish the washrooms weren't right next to the manure (or so it seemed). But otherwise they have food and drink options at great prices including a variety of delicious pies. Possibly the best apple pie I have bought! Not too sweet, tons of apple chucks and buttery rich pastry. I would come again. read more

Went here on Thanksgiving. I expected it to be packed but not so disorderly. There appeared to be a lot of staff around but everyone seem so frazzled and bewildered. The lines up were crazy and I would not come again for that reason alone. The line up to pay the entrance fee was long. The line to buy food was long. The line to pay for the apples was SUPER LONG. The food was mediocre at best. But its a captive audience with no other food choices. It was just hot dogs and pea meal bacon. Apple selection is expected to be of one or two kinds given the date. Not knocking stars off for this. Overall, it was a sub-par experience that could have been handled differently. 3 stars *** read more

The place was great, there was enough to keep our kids occupied - hay bales, great corn maze, farm animals (bunnies, sheep, chickens, cows and a goat), wagon ride and of course apples. The entrance fee of $3.00 is very reasonable and apples are $1.50/lb with no minimum. The orchard is smaller than some we've seen but perfect for younger kids (we had a 5 yr old and 7 yr old). We will be coming back to pick pumpkins from the patch and maybe hazelnuts too! read more

Husband and I drove up from Toronto on a Wednesday afternoon to see the countryside and get local apples. There was maybe one other car parked in front, next to a lot of beautiful orange pumpkins laid out on the ground, so the place was pretty empty but to be expected mid-week. We went to the shop inside the large building in the front, which was rather sparsely stocked, but nonetheless did have a small variety of jams, maple syrup, and honey products. There were different size bags of several apple varieties, as well as butternut and acorn squash, reasonably priced according to size. They also had small decorative gourds and baking pumpkins at the entrance. This place offers pick-your-own, but we bought some already bagged. Next to the pen with small farm animals, there were two clean, sheltered restrooms set up outside (not port-o-potties), which is nice if you had been working in the orchard rows and suddenly needed to use the toilet. The highlight of visiting Dixie Orchards for me was the corn maze, which the woman in the shop explained was free for the exploring as long as we bought something. My husband and I had fun splitting up and finding our way through the green and yellow stalks which rustled in the breeze beneath the blue autumn sky. On finding the exit, we walked back past the orchard rows labeled by apple variety; most of the trees looked like they still had plenty to offer for late September if we had been picking our own. I asked and the apples cost the same whether you buy them in a bag or pick your own, which seems to me like it should be slightly cheaper if you're doing the picking, but then again I suppose some people just want the experience of plucking an apple from a tree. On the way out I went back into the shop because I couldn't resist those pumpkins by the parking lot, along with two acorn squash. All in all, a pleasant experience that we walked away from with some tasty fall fruits. read more
