VISIT US WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY at 400 JOHNSON ROad, Brantford
In April 2020, we planted over 700 bareroot apple trees with the help of our friends and family. What was previously the pasture, provided nutrient-rich soil for these young trees to get their best start.
All trees are on dwarf or semi-dwarf rootstock and over time some will be espaliered (trellised) similar to grapes to help maximize their yield.
Both the children and the trees have grown considerably over the past few years! John grew up on his grandparents' St. George area farm and he wanted his children to have the same learning experiences, which is one of the reasons we wanted to find our own farm!
We picked our first apples at the end of the summer 2022. A few dozen Paula Reds that Christi baked into homemade apple crisp gave us a taste of what's to come. Crops will be larger each subsequent year as the trees mature.
Spring 2023 brought the opportunity to plant ten new varieties of apples in the orchard and the wet season means these young trees are thriving. With three rows of cider apples, we're excited to be able to offer these direct to consumers in a few years' time.
With over 5 acres currently in production, we can't wait to welcome you to the orchard to pick your own apples starting in fall 2024! As Brant's newest agritourism destination, we invite you to join us for a fun family activity that is beloved by generations.
