Century Orchards

Description

Come and visit our six acre orchard planted with a combination of Heritage and contemporary fruit trees. We offer an old fashioned U-Pick experience at our picturesque century old farm. This century orchard was established in 1845 by the McClymont family and was one of several orchards planted in this area at that time. Today, it still remains one of the few orchards with roots dating back into the 19th century. The orchard is located on a pinnacle of land just far enough from Lake Huron to escape the killer frosts of spring and is also protected by a cedar windbreak to offset the winds the lake can offer. The entrance has 50 evergreens that cover the driveway which leads you to another 15 hardwoods surrounding the park like setting of the farm buildings. There are several varieties of fruit in the orchard. The harvest begins with cherries then plums, followed by apples, more plums and pears. All this bounty starts in July and finishes sometime in late October. We offer several varieties of fruit not sold in supermarkets any longer as well as common varieties that are familiar to most.
