At our U-Pick Apple Farm (which is located approximately a 10-minute drive from Merrickville and the Rideau Canal), you can spend family time picking your own apples (Cortland, McIntosh, Paula Red, Jersey Mac and more), strolling down one of our trails (while walking with your best friend), and socializing with Sox and Noel (our resident horse and donkey), on our 50 acre farm.
In 1979, we started planting our orchard and have been adding trees each year. Today, we have 1500 semi-dwarf trees, which means ladders are not necessary to pick the apples. Jasper Apple Farm was started by Lorna and Bill Bayes after long careers in teaching. They enjoyed the new challenges, experiences and especially their repeat customers, with many becoming friends.
This year has been challenging growing apples at Jasper Apple Farm. There have been numerous storms that have brought strong winds, heavy rain and hail to our farm. We have also had very hot and dry weather as well. As a result our apples this season are best suited for apple pies, apple crisp and applesauce. We do have a great selection of garden mums grown here available in 6 different colours. The mums are just starting to show colour and are available as potted or dig your own. Our Red Russian garlic, a customer favourite, is available by the bulb or bunch. Starting Sunday September 7 we will be open weekends from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Hope to see everyone again soon!
