SMITHS' is opening on August
30th!
We will
be open for the 2008 season on Saturday, August 30th
at 10 am, and will be open daily from 10 am - 5:30 pm until late
October.
We will have lots of Sunrise and Gingergold™
apples available in the Farm Market,
as well as freshly baked pies, turnovers, volcanoes and other
treats from the Artisan Bakery. The Farm Market will also have
frozen baked goods (including our new Perfect Pastry Roll-Outs),
local fresh produce, jams and jellies, sparkling cider, and more.
We've had an incredible growing season this year and our apples
look fantastic! We are also very excited to introduce our first
ever Corn Maze Adventure- so come and check it out!
See you there, The Smiths'

ABOUT SMITHS'
Smiths' is a friendly place on a
quiet country road where you can pick many delicious varieties of
crunchy, tree-ripened apples. While you are here, take a look
in our Farm Market for fresh produce and
local preserves, stop by our Artisan Bakery for a fresh baked apple
pie, and see how apple cider is made at our Cider House.
Kids love to play on the giant straw fort and explore
the many other things to see and do on our farm!
Our grounds are well maintained and
both the Farm Market
and orchard are wheelchair accessible.

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 thereafter
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.
