Who went? Me, my husband, and my kids.
What time of year? Early September, Autumn How much does it cost? $1.89/lb of apples with a $5 minimum.
How many stars?
Take a drive past Niagara Falls and down the scenic Niagara Parkway towards Niagara-on-the-Lake and you'll see a pick your own orchard famous for peaches and apples.
Our previous experiences with pick your own orchards was at Campbell's Orchard in Prince Edward County, also in Ontario. The farm employees at Parkway Orchards were friendly but they weren't particularly helpful, especially when compared to Campbell's Orchards. We were given our baskets and told where the apples were but were not given any further directions.
We went apple picking early in the season this year, when mostly Gala apples were ready. We had fun and picked lots of apples, resulting in a surprisingly tasty pie and lots of homemade apple sauce.
After apple picking we walked through the gift shop where I was able to find this gem, or jam if you will.
You read that right, it's TOE JAM! And my kids are wild for it. The gift shop offers sampling of some of the different jams that they have for sale.
Do you love apple picking? What fall activities should we try next?
