Q. Do you allow picnics at the farm?
A. No. We encourage you to picnic at Charles Daley Park, on Lake Ontario, before visiting the farm. It’s less than a five (5) minute drive from the farm, and has a beautiful view of the lake.
Q. Do you have washrooms on the farm?
A. Yes, we have port-a-potties on the farm. If you want nicer washrooms, then we recommend making a stop at Tim Hortons on Victoria Avenue in Vineland before visiting
the farm.
Q. What is the best way to store cherries so they last longer?
A. The best way to store cherries is unwashed in the refrigerator. Wash cherries right before you eat or process them, but not before you store them, as washing affects the natural cuticle of the cherry skin and will cause them to spoil faster.
Q. Do you book bus tours?
A. We accept bus tours by appointment. Please email the farm to arrange a date and time.
Q. Do we need to book ahead or make reservations?
A. There is no need for reservations or booking. Simply check the pick-your-own page to see if the farm is open.
