In 1971, Robert and Margaret Blackman went out on a limb and started their U-Pick fruit business inviting customers to the farm to hand pick their own apples and pears. For over 35 years, families have been coming to spend a day at the farm and take in the landscape of the Niagara Escarpment.
The fruit-harvesting season runs from mid-September through early November. Enjoy picking Bosc pears and Concord grapes from our 100-year-old orchards and vineyards.
In addition to offering more than fifteen varieties of apples to pick, we have fresh pressed cider, pumpkins, squash, grape juice, specialty fruit butters, applesauces, and other locally produced agricultural products.
Barnyard animals and a straw climbing area are available for children to enjoy. For specific apple picking dates, varieties, and other information:

Make our family farm your family tradition!
