General admission includes access to Nature’s Bounty Farm‘s family-friendly attractions, including the Giant Grain Box, Straw Pyramid, corn maze, Pumpkinville, and animal areas featuring sheep, Highland cows, alpacas, and llamas. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon exploring beyond the orchard.
Apple picking requires a separate farm pass and the purchase of picking bags. Once in the orchard, visitors can wander through rows of fruit trees set against the rolling hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine, with sweeping countryside views in every direction. Visitors looking for a quieter outing can also take advantage of discounted local admission rates offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Fall Farm Fun
Fresh cider is available on-site, while pumpkins, squash, and seasonal produce fill the market as fall arrives. Sunflower fields add even more colour to the landscape, making the farm especially scenic during the September harvest season.
Before visiting, be sure to use the farm’s designated visitor entrance, as it is separate from the private farm access and can be easy to miss. Tickets can be purchased online in advance to skip the line.
Plan to spend at least a few hours on the property. Between apple picking, the corn maze, farm animals, and seasonal attractions, it’s the kind of outing that can easily fill an afternoon.
