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.

I came to this orchard with my family and we enjoyed our experience. They offer quite a variety of…read moreapples. 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. I can get the same apples and amount at the store for a quarter of the price, but I guess you pay for the experience.

However, prices are $1 less--you can get 20lb of apples for $24. While they don't have all the frills like a bakery, cider house, petting zoo, if you're just looking to pick apples in peace, this might be a good option! They didn't have much in terms of already picked apples the day I went. The shop keeper said we'd have to get them fresh from the orchard which is not a bad thing. He estimated that Cortland apples would be at their prime in the last week of September (2023) so I might come back then!

La Maison Lavande in Saint- Eustache is one of my favorite places to take a drive to when visiting…read moreMontreal. 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! Don't forget to stop by the gift shop for lovely home items before you leave. And, don't forget to check their website for entry fees before you go.

We decided to take the ferry for this last weekend apple picking... we got here pretty quick using…read morethe ferry... The farm is gorgeous and unique. It has a little shop in front selling apple pies, jams, honey candy, the thing that stood out the most is that it was a Bio farm .. all their apples are fresh and organic. I loved the apple picking process too bad we came at the end of the season and all that was left were cortland apples. The rest were in the front ready to buy not pick from the tree. They had ladders available to climb up the trees and pick your apples. The only negative comment was the service.. they seemed pretty rude and strict with the rules I felt unwelcomed .. we couldn't touch anything.. if we touched one apple on the tree we had to buy it and couldn't leave it there. It was super weird Overall, it's a beautiful farm with beautiful apples and I'm surprised it's been 3 weeks now and my apples still look and taste fresh and deeeelicious!!

Always a fun experience. More expensive then the farms nearby and they also charge an entrance fee,…read morebut you get to picnic and hang out when weather is nice.

What a beautiful place! We went for lunch, sitting in the back, at the terrace. The waiter was…read moresuper fantastic. We opt it for the lunch menu which includes a cider drink, entrée, main dish, desert and a coffee, just for 35$. I had the sparkling apple cider, which tasted like apple juice. Then a very delicious garden salad, followed by poached salmon with white beans in the tomato sauce. It was perfectly cooked and tasted heavenly. Then for dessert, we mixed fruits with delicious cream and cold latte. Everything was beautifully presented and they tasted really good. Post lunch, we went walk in their fields where apple grow. It was serene. Definitely, recommended.

The crowd in my car became kind of antsy and the micro brewery sign was my only hope to calm down the grown up kids. What we found around was awesome: * restaurant that offers the wines and beers of Les Vents d'ange and where the food is exclusively seasonal. We decided to taste the three beers offered by the microbrewery, which came with complimentary pumpkin seeds, the beers are wonderful and La 31 brew is pumpkin based. Our little snack were snails prepared in delicata squash and garnished with pumpkin chips, absolutely outstanding dish. The bistro has a terrace with nice views of the surrounding farms. * store offering the very same beers and wines, which you can actually taste there * and last, but not least, pumpkin market! All the incredible pumpkins and squashes available for us to pick and choose. They have signs describing the different sorts, so the buyers can actually plan their next potential culinary experiment. In case you have too many pumpkins you can transport them with a construction trolley to your car. No doubt Les Vents d'Ange is a perfect place to stop by after apple picking in the area for whatever you feel like, good food and drinks, or just a pumpkin or two.

I finally had a chance to try my Miel Brun honey from miellerie deschamps with pancake…read more I bought a pail. The honey is a deep colour, I should have asked what they did to get the deep brown colour. I visited this location because someone told me it was an unpasteurized honey. Colour. Looks like a medium maple syrup, sweetness the same. Texture. The honey did not crystallize -weird. Taste medium sweetness not too sweet. Thickness. Runny, low viscosity than most honey farms. Tasting this, I suspect the honey is cut back a bit. Most speciality non pasteurize farms focused on honey from wild berries and variety. I'm not really a fan of this honey. I guess I got a pail of this to work on.

Ultimately I came here for pumpkins and they had sooooo many! Pricing was pretty fair and it's a great family activity.

Do you want to make soup, eat it raw grated in a salad, roasted or even make fries? There's a squash for you then! We stayed for lunch and I had squash lasagna was delicious, the meast sauce and very harty. The lasagna's noodles were replaced by squash slices which was a new spin to an old classic. The restaurant offers a lunch menu and for 5$ you can add a soup & dessert to your meal. Great way to end a squash picking activity.
