Fall Hike and Apple Picking

Sunday, september 29 2024

Celebrate harvest time with a fall hike and fruit picking

Spend a day in the countryside during the most picturesque time of year! Join us for a fall hike followed by apple picking.

Autumn time in Ontario is breathtakingly beautiful- and it only last for a short while. Make the most of this fresh and fun time of year with a trip to the countryside! We’ll spend the morning hiking on the Kelso Conservation Area. Kelso Conservation Area is a hidden gem just outside of Milton, offering stunning views from the Niagara Escarpment. The park is famous for its lookout points, picturesque trails, and the Kelso Lake and beach. In the fall, Kelso transforms into a vibrant canvas of autumn colors, making it one of the best spots for a scenic hike.

We’ll head to Andrews Farm Market and Winery where you can hand-select the freshest and most delicious fruits and vegetables straight from the fields. In the end of September
the farm expects raspberries, pears, apples, flowers, squash, pumpkin, and corn (subject to change based on the weather).

Andrews Farm also offers a range of family-friendly activities, including wagon rides, a petting zoo, and a playground.
After picking your favorite fruits and vegetables, you can explore Andrews Farm's market. Browse through an assortment of homemade preserves, freshly baked goods, and try their locally produced wines.

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to combine a leisure hike and picking your own delicious produce. Get ready for a day of adventure, flavor, and farm-fresh fun!
