Pieter's Appleyard

About this farm

Pieter's Appleyard is an apple orchard planted in 1981 by Mr. Pieter Wyminga. The farm continues to operate with modern horticulture technologies. It is located in Colborne, between Port Hope and Trenton, along the Apple Route in Northumberland County. The orchard overlooks Lake Ontario and provides views from a hill.

What the farm offers

The orchard offers pick-your-own apples, two nature trails of approximately 3 km round trip, and picnic tables. Wagon rides are offered on weekends in September and October. The Country Store sells freshly hand-picked apples and other farm products, including pre-picked peaches and pears, apple chips, apple leather, apple vinegar, jams, jellies, relishes, and baked goods. Educational tours are available for groups including school tours, from toddlers to seniors.
