If all you're really looking for is annuals, this is the place for you. A small selection of…read moreevergreen trees and fruit bushes as well, but you'll likely see the typical plants most folks buy and nothing too unusual. Beautiful spot in an accessible location with a few different greenhouses to browse through. No houseplants and very limited perennial selection. They do carry large bags of soil, manure and wood medium at a really great price. Overall, their prices are much more reasonable than many of the other greenhouses. They will often have free coffee from local roaster Wheelhouse Coffee on site as well as cookies and other snacks. A very friendly place and worth stopping in despite being a little bit of a detour.

U-Pick Perhaps the…read morebiggest draw of visiting a farm is to take full advantage of the freshest produce on the market. At Willowbank U-Pick they offer a fantastic selection of apples, pears, plums and pumpkins in the months of September and October. Bring the family and spend the afternoon amongst the orchards and fields hand picking the perfect ingredients for pies, crumbles and cobblers. Animals: No farm is complete without the animals. Willowbank Farm has many animals - from their friendly family dogs to grazing cattle and everything in between. The kids (and kids at heart) will love spending time in the petting zoo. Here you can handle and pet chickens, goats, and miniature donkeys. Next to the petting zoo is a horse training ring where you can watch riders jump over fences and speed around turns on some of the most well cared for horses in the Annapolis valley. Market: If rummaging through trees of apples isn't your thing - and you're still craving the farm fresh vegetables, you are in luck. Alongside the U-Pick section, the farm offers a market right on site. You can pick from a variety of locally grown items to take home and put in stews, soups or alongside of your favourite meal.

After moving to the area, we were delighted to find a great market that's open 7 days a week. So…read moremuch selection here from local apples to potatoes and local preserves and frozen scallops or lobster. Absolutely everything you need and no reason to go to big box stores. There are constant 'flash' sales with random items on sale for a ridiculously low price. Follow their social media pages to find out how to get a deal. The only downside to this place is the amount of plastic wrap waste is used in the store. Literally every item is slapped in plastic so it's very discouraging. If they can get swat from thus significantly wasteful problem, this would be the best place in the neighbourhood.

Super enjoyed both the store and the property. There is something for everyone here.

Imagine the delicious picnic with goodies from the market for stops along the way.

The main store sells everything from cider to meat pies and everything in between! The family filled atmosphere was refreshing and the customer service was unlike any other corn maze. Everyone was so kind - especially if you get lost! They gave out maps to help show you were the varieties of apples were. The hay ride was a blast - and surprisingly long! They helped people with strollers and trouble walking up and had no trouble with any of it. Definitely one of my favourite apple picking experiences! We will be back next year hopefully for the haunted maze! Can't wait!
