Great spot for strawberry picking but highly recommend to not go on a weekend. Their parking lot is…read morequite small and they often overflow to the street (tenth line) so you have to parallel park on the dirt road and walk back to the farm. Cars can drive quite close by. Or get dropped off inside the lot especially if you have littles. There is a short wagon ride to the fields and the crops were abundant this year. Lots of big berries! The shop by the entrance has ice cream and baked goods as well. Friendly staff. $17 admission includes a 2L basket.

We came by September to pick apples. We had picked some empire and honey crisp apples. They were…read moredelicious! It's $17 a person for admission fee which includes a 5lb bag! It's not cheap but the quality is definitely there. We love organic apples since apples are on the dirty dozen list. We love the whole experience of picking our own on an amazing sunny day the staff as super nice, there were lots of apples left to be picked. Parking lot is quite small, I suggest to carpool if you're coming in a larger group. We definitely recommend this farm :) Will be back next year!

We visited Downey's Farm over the weekend and had so much fun. A few points you want to consider…read morebefore visiting: first, you are required to purchase the admission tickets online and second, early mornings are the best time to visit as it gets very busy 11am onwards and there would be parking issues and even lineups at the entrance. The farm has so many fun activities for kids and families, from bouncy pumpkin, zip line, wagon ride, feeding the animals, etc. There are food vendors available for cold refreshments, pop corn, cheeseburgers, poutine and chicken burgers/fingers. You can purchase lunch and refreshments 11am-4pm, but pip corn station is open all day long. You can also purchase farm products like honey, pies, apple ciders, picked apples from the market. You can also purchase pumpkin without requiring the admission ticket.

If you're looking for an authentic pick-your-own farm experience, I highly recommend visiting…read moreDowney's Strawberry & Apple Pick Your Own Farm at 13707 Heart Lake Road, Caledon, ON L7C 2K7. Unlike attractions that focus primarily on children's playgrounds and entertainment, this farm is all about the experience of harvesting fresh, naturally grown fruit yourself. It's a true working farm where the emphasis is on quality produce, delicious farm-made treats, and supporting local agriculture. The berries are incredibly fresh, and the homemade desserts, baked goods, and apple cider are absolutely delicious.

If your goal is to enjoy nature, pick your own fruit, and support a genuine local farm, this is the place to visit. It's a refreshing experience that reminds you what farm-fresh food is all about. Supporting local Canadian farmers is always worth it. We'll definitely be back!

Nice apple orchard for PYO with apples, pumpkins, and christmas trees…read more It's not too big and a picturesque walk. There are a lot of varieties and not a lot of signage. If anyone is around, ask them to point out the different rows. Staff was cool with trying apples before you bag them. Its a fun taste test. There are play areas for the kids, but its not as big as some other PYO that can get crowded. You have to buy a bag to enter, min. 2 people per bag at $20. Not sure about kids. Fill it to the top. There is a country store with honey, baked goods, and some produce, lots of squashes and apples. Free parking happy harvest

I've been to the market multiple times, though I haven't checked out the farm side yet. The market…read moreitself is set up like a small boutique shop. They carry fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers, so prices can be a little higher since they're reselling, but the produce is always clean, colorful, and great quality. Beyond the basics, they also sell indoor and outdoor plants, unique brands you won't usually find at grocery stores, and specialty items like quail eggs, duck eggs, and a nice variety of cheeses. I even came across some vegetables I'd never tried before, like black kale, which was new to me. The staff are always super friendly and outgoing. I've visited a few times now and never had an issue with any of the products. For me, this market is an easy five stars.

Out of the 3 farms that I've visited recently, Rock Garden was probably my favourite, but that…read moredoesn't say much. This "farm" was more like a garden centre + a nice grocery store that sells primarily produce, a good share of baked goods, & some bottled items like preserves, maple syrup, jams, honey, etc. There was no "pick your own" strawberries. At least none that I saw anyway. What sorta leaves a sour taste in my mouth is that farms always promote this support, "Eat Local" mentality, but their prices seem on-par with Whole Foods: 3 tri-coloured bell peppers - $7+, a dozen free-range eggs - $4.50, a pint of strawberries - $6, a pint of peaches/nectarines - $5 (almost $1/ea), etc. I just had an egg this morning and it tasted like a regular, store bought egg. Nothing discerning about it. I also bought a 8" peach pie and wished that I had chosen another fruit. As I cut into the pie, I noticed that all the peach slices were all spread out, covering may 50% of the filling. The rest of it was clear, sweet, gelatin. My friend get a Saskatoon berry and the filling was more consistent. So if you're planning to get a pie, SKIP the peach! I thought that buying straight from the source would be cheaper/same prices at the grocery store, but BETTER quality, but I guess I was wrong.

Who says you have to wait until autumn to pick apples? They have "summer season" apples for…read morepicking. We were here late August. Would definitely come again. Nice quaint apple farm. They let us park closer to the orchard / apple trees as there were not that many folks when we were there. We picked apples and got their amazing blueberry pie (it was stuffed with blueberries)!

I dont know why there is only 1 review for this orchard but they have a lot of visitors. If you…read morewant to pick apples only and spend 1 hour or so, then this is the place for you. Lots of apples, friendly staff, and NO ADMISSION fees. You only pay what you pick. They have a wagon to take u to the orchard but we walk. They have a small play area for kids and saw a big white tents that has a sign reserve. But nevertheless we went inside the tent and rest our feet. I love the area because its not as popular compared to Pine orchard. We will be coming back next year.

So much to do here! Lots of fun at every stop. At least 3 playgrounds, each with a unique theme…read more(traditional, a shipwreck, etc). There is a fun"zip line" type ride that kids will want to ride over and over again. You land in sand so safe for every age to enjoy. Theres an area for imaginitive play and includes litte shelters with toys you can play with inside or in the sand. A giant jumping pad (could use some shade)! You can get right up close to all the animlas and even a fire truck. Fun tractor ride goes around the property. Plenty of Hay stacks for fun farm photo ops. The staff are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Market where you can purchase delicious butter tarts and other hot foods available on site. Admission fee is steep but I guess consistent with other farms these days.

The farm was pretty busy but we went early and it didn't feel too overwhelming because there was lots of space for people to spread out. We decided to get our market goodies when we first arrived to avoid the rush when leaving (pro tip - if you go somewhere busy and there's no line for something you want to do, do it then lol ) Lots of fun hunting for specific eggs in the egg hunt and my little also enjoyed the toddler egg hunt as well. She really like being able to pick her own treat. Super well thought out and organized by the Brooks Farms folks - kudos! We devoured a pancake breakfast with hashbrowns, sausage and real maple syrup - yum! It was nice to warm up in the new barn/event space and my daughter enjoyed seeing the baby chickens and colouring her Easter sheets. We got an order of fries wnd gravy before we left and it was also very tasty. Definitely worth the drive from the GTA! We will for sure return again in the warmer months.

A full bag will cost $26, tax free. Super amazing! Or, $1.45 per pound, if you do not fill the bag completely. There's a tractor trailer that takes you into the orchard every couple minutes. Great place for groups, families and couples. Go on their website to see the harvest calendar. There are different types of apples that harvest at different times. See which one you would like to pick. I've picked the honeycrisp so far, rich red and green color, crisp, and not too sweet. Will be returning soon for my golden delicious.
