This farm is located not too far from Montreal, it took us around 35 minutes to get there. You have…read morethe choice to either buy some already filled strawberries baskets or pick your own. We chose to pick our own. When you arrive, someone will give you how ever many empty baskets you want, and then explain how it works. It's pretty simple, you fill your baskets with strawberries while eating as many from the field as you want and then you pay when you leave. Each basket can contain up to 4 liters of strawberries and costs $9. Depending on the season, you can also pick raspberries, tomatoes, zucchinis or many others things. Québec strawberries are smaller, more red, and extremely sweet, so I really love to picking them myself every year when I can. It's a great getaway from the city and it's enlightening to get your fresh fruits and veggies directly at the farm. If you're going during lunch time, don't forget to pack a picnic. They have a few picnic tables for people to use so you can spend some time there after or before picking your fruits, enjoying a nice picnic outside, and then going to get your dessert directly from the field. :) They are open 7 days a week so you can go anytime you want. Monday to Friday from 7AM to 7PM and Saturday and Sunday from 7AM to 6PM.

There's a tractor ride, 2$ per person, I think this is due to covid times and normally it might be free. A great big play area with lots of modules and play houses, a farm area nearby with all your must see farm animals like pig, chickens, Turkey, goats, picnic tables where you can watch your kids and a huge orchard. The covid measures were the usual, there are signs for 2 meter distance when being inside, sanitizers at the door before going in, mandatory masks inside, masks on the tractor. All in all, we had alot of fun. The apples are delicious, 20$for 20lbs bag and 13$ for 10 lbs. This might actually be my new favorite orchard as it's much cheaper then Quinn farm- no entrance fee.

There are ladders to help you pick the apples and trucks that bring you further in the orchard. The only downside was the price. It was 18$ for a big bag.

You can read about Doc Taylor and his work here: http://eap.mcgill.ca/MagRack/SF/Summer%2093%20S.htm You can purchase organic seeds and or seedlings through the website but I personally prefer going out to the farm and looking over the vegetables and fruits myself and even chat with Doc Taylor. He runs the farm with his family and they are very nice and interesting people to talk to who are also concerned citizens and put their money where their mouth is.

It's best visited in July or August to fully enjoy the lavender fields (I can't imagine going any other time). It's absolutely beautiful and such a relaxing spot to hang out with friends or family - very picnic vibes, like a huge open park without the park. It's perfect for photos, seems pet friendly too (saw lots of dogs!), and you have to try the lavender ice cream. It's so good!

Although they are open year round Quinn farm gets…read morethe most amount of people during autumn We had planned a family outing to pick apples and pumpkins. Because of covid you need to buy tickets ahead of time and you get a time slot to go enjoy the farm. The entry fee is 10$ per person. Once you arrive you get a bracelet and can pick up any prepaid bags for you apples or you can pay for them there. You can then check out some of the farm animals or let the kids use the slide and climb around the play area. Once your ready to pick the apples or pumpkins or even corn, you hop on the tractor and then pick your stop to get off at when they announce what fruits/veggies are available. You get to pick them and take them home ! They have washing stations for the veg as well. Once your done wait for the tractor to pick you up and head back home and bake your heart away !

I really enjoyed my experience at Quinn Farm. I came here with my family for pumpkin picking, but…read morethere was much more to see than just pumpkins! The entrance fee is 8$ per person. Once you're in the farm, you can go see some cute farm animals. There is also a big kiosk where they sell products made in-house, those are extremely overpriced! A truck brings you to a pumpkin patch. There are various kinds of squash and pumpkins, all priced very fairly. There was also apple picking available, but that is also overpriced. It costs $11 for a little bag, which is 3 to 4 dollars at the grocery store! Perhaps bringing the price down would entice people to buy more. In general, it's a nice farm with very friendly workers. A great place to go with your significant other, family, friends, kids, anyone! You just have to choose what you want to purchase.

They have things like; dry-goods, beer, fresh produce, cheese, meats, wine, plants, cleaning supplies, seeds, etc. I'd highly recommend this spot if you want to get a gift for a friend, or yourself ;) ! The price range for items here is large, so anyone can find something sweet within their budget. It is located right off the intersection of the 35 and 10! It was busy with people (I try to take pictures without people but trust me!) but there was a lot of room for parking and the huge indoor space never left me feeling claustrophobic. They also occasionally host activities that are fun for all ages, so I'd recommend looking at their website for upcoming events.

I'm usually not a fan of going to the south shore but I wanted my daughter to experience this so we made our way here. The place is huge! Firstly, you can come here for a variety of fresh produce, meats and dairy. Which is kind of neat. It's a farmer's market after all! Secondly, you can buy a variety of decorations for the home and yard as well. A must place to visit! The petting zoo was great! There's lots of space for the animals as well as for the humans that can touch and feed them. They have a nice variety of them, you can even pet and hold the bunnies. :) The butterfly den was totally zen and tranquil. Huge beautifies fly everywhere and rest everywhere, so you totally have to watch your step. I got to hold a few of them after I invited them on my fingers. It was an awesome experience. The price-tag for adults is quite expensive at about $14 for all facilities. Infants get to visit for free however. 1 huge star lost for leaving dangerous equipment lying around though. So parents beware. On two occasions while as I chased after the young-lings I found cutting knifes (exact-to) left unattended in the outside yard where kids tends to pass by on the way to the petting zoo. The blades weren't even retracted and those cut very well.

Wow.. first to review once again!!! Weird as this place has so many reviews on Google Maps…read more Interestingly I was on my way to a much larger, more generic farm which happens to be a bit further down the street.. we accidentally ended up here due to an Apple Maps fail and didn't realize until we left and drove past the "zoo" that we had originally planned on going to when we realized our serendipity! This apple orchard/farm is definitely under the radar (this is the 1st review on Yelp and it's been open for a while) We went apple picking here late in the season. We basically had the entire place to ourselves. It was relaxing and enjoyable ... "unfortunately" no kiddie rides or bells and whistles but sometimes it's nice to just enjoy nature. The apples are organic which is a nice plus! When I first tasted the different varietals of apples I was turned off as they were too tart. Weeks later, I finally remembered all the apples in my fridge and decided to try them again and WOW they were the best apples I've ever tasted! I guess they weren't fully ripe yet or they needed to "breathe" a little. No clue what happened but the apples were darn good, I didn't dare waste them on applesauce! Avoid the "zoo" across the street, go here and support the organic folks. They also had a few hidden speakers in the orchard, playing music to the apple trees so they will be happy.
