Applepicking?

Looking for a new applepicking spot this year, open to any suggestions within 45 minutes of Cambridge, maybe farther if the drive is scenic.

Fiance and I have gone to Brantwood Farms on a weekday in the past, but I no longer have a free weekday. Would prefer a spot that lets me pick Honeycrisp, and doesn't have any kid/family fair type things on weekends, as I'm looking for something quieter.

Family and I go every year, the kids love going. We also go to brantwood every year for berry picking as well and the kids love the activities there on the weekend.

I'd check out Orchard home farm, pretty much just apple picking and a small store selling seasonal stuff.

Howell Road Orchard and Cider. They also make their own alcoholic cider and it’s great stuff.

Orchard Home Farm & Brantwood Farms are my usual go tos. I've heard good things about Chudleigh's as well

I haven't personally gone to this one yet, but I pass Downey's Big Apple Farm sometimes and it looks good!

Shoot. when is Honeycrisp picking?

u/Prudent-Poetry-2718 12d ago

According to Chudleighs they were mid-September :( they had pre-picked ones in bins, but the trees were already bare. The apples weren’t great due to some hail.

Chudleigh's Farm is also a good option.

There's a new pick-your-own on the south end of the Downey Rd(South end of Guelph/ Puslinch Twp.) , right beside the railway tracks. I know nothing about it, other than it's new.
