The orchard is overflowing with apples, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend with a trip to the farm! Bring your family and friends and make some fresh fall memories among the trees.
This weekend, we’re picking a beautiful mix of apple varieties—each one with its own unique flavour and crunch:
🍏 Ambrosia – Smooth, honey-sweet, and low in acidity. A favourite for snacking and charcuterie boards.
🍎 Fuji – Firm, crisp, and bursting with sweetness. Excellent for fresh eating or adding crunch to salads.
🍏 Cortland – Mild and slightly tart, with snowy white flesh that’s slow to brown—perfect for baking and fruit platters.
🍎 Crimson Crisp – Tart, firm, and deeply flavorful. Great for those who love a little zing!
🍏 Empire – Juicy and well-balanced with the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Excellent for both eating and baking.
🍎 Gala – Sweet, aromatic, and kid-approved. Great for snacking and naturally sweet applesauce.
📅 Open daily for picking
🕙 10 AM – 5 PM
Spend the day wandering the orchard, filling your bag with your favourite varieties, and enjoying the beautiful fall colours. Then stop by the farm market for fresh pies, donuts, cider, and local produce—the perfect way to round out your Thanksgiving weekend.
🍂 Whether it’s a family tradition or your first visit, Thanksgiving at Brantwood Farms is all about good food, good company, and the simple joy of fall on the farm.
