Ready for a beautiful day in the orchard?  Before you head out, here are a few things to know to make your apple picking experience easy, fun and enjoyable for everyone.

Things to Know

  • Come hungry!!  Be sure to visit the store for all your favourite fall Brantwood Farm treats!

Tips and Tricks

  • Look for apples with good colour and gently twist and list to pick.  Please don’t pull or shake the branches.  We like to say ‘Eye to the Sky’
  • Bring one of our wagons or your stroller for little ones if needed, but keep in mind the orchard terrain can be uneven
  • Pick only what you purchased
  • Take your time, explore the rows and make some memories
  • Weekday and early mornings can be a great time to enjoy a quieter orchard experience

Farm Rules

  • Pick only in open rows.  Rows blocked off are not yet ready for picking
  • Pets welcome. Please keep on a leash and clean up after them.
  • No snacking in the orchard. You can snack on your freshly picked apples after you have finished picking and have left the orchard.
  • No climbing of the trees
  • Brantwood Farms is a smoke and vape free property

Most importantly, HAVE FUN and enjoy the farm!
