Merry Christmas from all of us at Albion Orchards and many sincere thanks to all our valued customers for another great season of serving you while farming in Caledon!

Apples are now further reduced for our final week of sales… Only .99 cents/lb for our most popular varieties still in stock….Macintosh only .89 cents/lb!

There are still LOTS and LOTS of apples to pick here. Especially Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Spartan and Empire apples. Come on out and pick your own!

There are also still some Cortland (hard to imagine when they are so popular), Fuji (smaller ones , but they are there) and Ida Red apples (big shiny pretty looking fruit). You can still find the odd Northern Spy apple hiding out under the tree canopy in our Spy block. There are still a few Pink Lady apples out there, but very sparse and way high up in the tree- hard to reach without a ladder. We are always surprised when people come back from picking in the orchard and have a bag mixed full of Mutsus and Royal Galas- we thought they were all gone after Thanksgiving weekend. Its a bit of a treasure hunt for certain types of apples. Some people are done picking in 15 minutes and good to go with a nice bag of medium sized apples. Others spend much more time and look around hard for the great big sized fruit that are lurking way out back of our 50 acre farm and come back with Jumbo sized apples… To each his own!

• We are now open for picking every day except Mondays
• There are lots of Pumpkins to pick too
• Please no dogs allowed
• Please do not bring outside food here to consume, unless it does not come in a package, wrapper, or throw away container. Its the extra garbage we do not want. Eating is a necessity – we all eat. Littering is not cool or appreciated… Thanks!
• No charge for admission, just buy a bag for picking and you’re in! Apple bags are $25 for 10lb sized bags, ( 3 person entry) and $45 for 20 lb bags (5 person entry)
• No refunds for PYO activity. Please be advised it is now getting later in the season and the selection will be not as abundant as previous, but nobody is coming out with empty bags anytime soon. There are still lots of apples for picking…..

This Saturday and Sunday we are planning to open the north half of our farm for Pick Your Own. This area will include large quantities of Macintosh, Spartan, and Red Delicious apples. Also available for picking are Cortland, Fuji, Snow and Granny Smith, in lesser abundance.

Any remaining Honeycrisp apples in this block are also up for grabs, however please note that we have already harvested the vast majority of them for sale in our market. People have also decided to pick the Northern Spy apples in this area already, though they are not quite fully ripened. We ask that people not pick the Spy apples til next week. All other varieties not listed here & not picked yet will be ready for pick your own starting Thanksgiving weekend. There are no refunds for PYO customers, so please read the above carefully before deciding when to plan your visit this season. There are also no dogs, backpacks or outside food allowed. Please do not bring us your garbage either! We do not want the fast food packaging accumulated inside your vehicle and are not responsible for disposing of it for you- Please leave your trash in the car and take it home or back to the fast food outlet you purchased it from, it’s much appreciated folks! We are trying our best with limited staff to try and keep our farm tidy and clean for all our valued guests to enjoy and take photos of the scenery.

All visitors will be able to see and take pictures of Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch, however we still have a lot of “green” pumpkins growing on the vines and want to keep people out of the patch for one more week. We have a display of Pumpkins for sale outside our market, but pumpkin picking is not yet available for guests to the farm….

Our Spartan Apples are ready for picking! Come on out to the farm and enjoy the experience! The trees are absolutely loaded full red ripe crunchy tasty apples! You can also still pick Macintosh apples too! You will be able to see the pumpkin patches (sorry no pumpkin picking yet) and take pictures in our pumpkin valley. Last entrance for apple picking is 4:00 pm. Hope to see you here this weekend!
