Carl Laidlaw Orchards

What a wonderful farm with lots to see and do! We’ve visited during pumpkin season and did PYO pumpkins and apples. We also enjoyed the petting zoo and seeing salmons in the river. Lots of beautiful photos taken and memories created.

Amazing place for Apple picking with family. Visited in October 2020 and tasted one of the best red apples of the season. The salmon stream was a treat to watch with so many large salmons near the river shore. They have a honey stand at the exit which had different flower honey options to choose from.

So much fun! Everyone at the farm was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. There was farm animals to visit, salmon swimming up the river, a little cafe for cider and snacks, allll the apples ever!, and lots of beautiful fall leaves. Felt like a safe space: many families of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds there, and my wife and I are queer and were met with nothing but friendliness. Would love to go back during summer to see all the sunflowers! We had such a great day, couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Great place! Had a wonderful time with the whole family. The staff is so so friendly, each and every staff we encountered. Dog friendly, which is amazing. Some farm animals. A cozy little coffee hut where you can have your coffee or tea and cookies outside on a picnic bench. There is a pumpkin patch, sunflowers, a corn maze and of course, many many types of apples! An absolutely wonderful orchard and i am very happy we chose to come to this one over any other one. Oh the apple pies are amazing!!!

Yes it's a little bit pricey, but you don't just go for the apples, you go for the experience! We paid ~$50 total for a 20lb PYO bag, and entrance for 2 adults; and spent about 3hrs on the farm. There were a variety of apples and you can try them (We found a new favourite I have not seen anywhere - the delicately skinned and sweet Silken!!). The signs and little ribbons for what you can/cannot pick was a little bit confusing, but all in all it was good fun. Some cute farm animals that you can feed. Great scenary - large rolling acres of orchards (there was a bit of uphill, so wear your sneakers). A reasonably priced outdoor cafe with muskoka chairs by a stream. Massive corn maze, lots of photo ops; ANDDDDD they had a complimentary photographer on site that will take as many shots of you and your group as you want. Ok we loved it! Will probably head back for the Ambrosia's later on this season :D
