This apple orchard is family (and dog) friendly making it an ideal covid-friendly activity for everyone. Open Wednesdays through to Sundays including holiday Mondays. Their Apple Shop also offers other locally grown in-season fruits for sale. Visit their site for details and for updates on health and safety protocols during pandemic times.

What we love about this farm is their commitment to wholesome family fun. They also donate a portion of all their apples grown on the land to the local food bank.

We asked the Luna Farms family to share their favourite apple recipe. This simple recipe is yummy comfort food for any weeknight or weekend (okay, I made it for lunch today too).
