WELCOME TO SMITHS'!

Located in Port Elgin, Ontario, Smiths' is a new orchard designed to produce top quality fruit on easy-to-pick dwarf apples trees. Smiths' is a friendly place located on a quiet country road, and is family owned and operated by Steve and Micki Smith. During your visit, take a look in the Farm Market and you will find freshly baked pies, local produce, and much more. Grab a warm apple turnover and freshly brewed coffee while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere and well-maintained grounds.  We also have many family activities including a straw play area for kids.

Our Educational Program Coordinator is Anne Carling. You can spot Anne in the orchard with her entourage of excited young visitors closely examining a sunflower, corn plant or apple tree. She brings with her many exciting ideas to help add to the fun of learning at a working farm. If you are interested in booking a School Tour to Smiths', contact Anne here.

THE HISTORY OF SMITHS'

Growing fruit, vegetables, and flowers has always been a part of Steve and Micki Smiths' lives.  Steve studied horticulture at the University of Guelph and later taught greenhouse science at a local high school; Micki owned and operated a flower shop in Owen Sound.  In 1993 they bought a 72-acre cornfield on The River Road on which to build a new home. 

Since they already enjoyed both people and plants, it was a natural fit to plan and develop Smiths' Apples and Farm Market- a place where families could enjoy an outing in the country, wandering in the carefully tended orchard and picking tree-ripened apples. 

With the help of family and friends Smiths' has prospered into a full-time operation with about 6000 trees, and offers many varieties of apples, a Farm Market, fun family activities , and an Artisan Bakery which makes fresh baked goods.
