Upon your arrival at the parking lot, you can see the signs guiding the way and reminding you that…read moredue to COVID-19 pandemic, masks are mandatory in all areas. At the Pick Your Own (PYO) check-in, you can pay $10.5 for a small basket that holds approximately 2 lbs. or $21 for a large basket that holds approximately 4 lbs. It is on a first come first serve basis and if you go early in the morning, it will be less crowded and you will have more privacy while picking the strawberries. We bought 2 large baskets and spent almost an hour exploring the farm and picking our strawberries. I tasted a few and they were very delicious and was wondering to myself why we pay so much for market strawberries that don't taste half as good. On the way out, we went inside the market and bought some of their products and also enjoyed our sundae with fresh strawberries. It is a nice experience for the families, especially if you have kids.

The place itself is cute - you can pick your own pumpkin ($12) which I find expensive (but I do…read morelike to support local farmers), and pay $5/person for a tractor ride, corn maze and to climb on some hay for the kids. Service was friendly. The reason why I'm docking all these stars is because it smelled so terribly when we were there, it was overwhelming, and it dampened all the fun. Either it is extremely strong manure, or from the compost place across the street. It was so pungent, and I would not return for this reason alone.

They have the best radishes ever. Just hot enough and plenty of them. Pepperonis are great also.read more

Cherry picking season has started and it's a good opportunity to go to cherry orchards and enjoy…read moresome time with your family, especially little ones. We arrived here early in the morning and the parking lot was half full and we bought our baskets (they only accept debit or cash) and went inside the orchard. There were many cherry trees that were perfect height for kids and adults, with different sizes of cherries on them. We spent almost 2 hours and since we were planning to pick both sweet cherries and sour cherries, we went to one of the staff and she redirected us to another orchard of theirs to pick the sour cherries. It was around 9:30-10 when we went to the other orchard and all the parking lots were full and there was a huge lineup for cars in both orchards to get in and big lineups to buy baskets and get inside the orchard. So, I suggest going in early in the morning. They have less sour cherry trees available and you need to spot them between sweet cherry trees and they're as delicious as the sweet cherries. They have very friendly and helpful staff that adds to the fun of picking your own cherries.

We've been coming to Cherry Avenue Farms since we were young. It would be a fun cousins day out and…read moreour families would just load up on delicious fresh cherries! It's so much fun and despite the large crowds, you're not really too crowded once you get into the cherry trees section. This farm has been up and running for over 220 years and it's amazing to see the family continues to do well and offer a place for Pick Your Own on a variety of fresh produce. I think it was $5 admission for adults and that amount will be deduced from your fruit basket if you pick anything. Typically, we pick a whole giant ton of cherries to gift to friends (and of course eat for ourselves). Staff here are great and everything is made easily accessible. If I had one little advise, it would be to offer more step stools and maybe guide on how to use. There were only 5 step stools in a very very large space and this one family hogged them all to just sit on. All the good cherries were up top and way out of reach, unless we did some climbing. I loved PYO farms as a kid and bring friends / plan family summer outings to these types of farms. It's just so nice to be outside away from technology and traffic. Love it here! The fruits are delish by the way.

Oooooh-Emmmmm-Geeeeee!!! Sooooooo happy is me!…read more On my way home from work this morning I stopped by the market and now I'm absolutely on a sensory high!!! Some of the stands aren't actually from farms (from what I hear) but just people that buy large quantities of produce and go to market to sell it. I didn't buy anything from those guys. I DID, however, buy from a bunch of different families/farmers. It was so wicked cool! I was really overwhelmed by the size of the setup and the number of stands. I most appreciated the guys that offered samples of their fruits and veggies. In fact, I wound up just saying "yes" to buying everything they fed me as I took each euphoric bite. I'm not gonna lie... not all of the vendors are very friendly. I actually felt that the majority were not so. That was a bit of a letdown. But I spent enough time passing through the lanes and chatting with a handful of people that I still had a warm and welcoming experience. The market is open Friday and Sunday from about 7 or 8 am until about 4 or whenever they pack up and will run to October. I know where I will be doing my shopping for the next couple of months!

I got there close to noon and there was a lot of cars parked on the side of the street already so I was thinking it was already full but luckily there were lots of parking inside. It was $15 per person which includes a 5lb bag or additional $12 for every 5lb. After I paid, they asked if I was looking for any specific types of apples. I told them I was looking for honeycrisps but I also knew I was a week late. The guy was nice and told me that they were low on them (as expected) but they had another orchid in the back that still had a few more. They weren't as big but I still managed to get 3 bags full. There was also people picking veggies but I wasn't sure if that was allowed since I didn't see anything posted on the website about it.

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.

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. You can really appreciate the care and passion that goes into everything they grow and prepare. 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!

A bigger bucket of almost 40 lb cost $25 at the farmers market in Mississauga!!! There's nothing to do at this stupid farm expect picking apples or pumpkin. No rides (even though there's a big sign for hay rides) So you pick your own apples then pay triple the price of the super market and 5-6 times the price of the farmers market. To be honest they're good apples but not at all better than the farmers market! Never again! Very badly run and will be out of business very soon for sure! P.s. The kids saw a dead rat (No big deal in a farm I guess) but they were so disgusted by it so they couldn't eat apples! Not that they were even allowed to eat any apples while picking! Where's the fun of picking apples if the kids can't even eat as they pick and there was more apples on the ground than on the trees!!! Visit on Saturday October 29 2016
