APPLE PICKING
About the activity
The next apple picking will begin on Saturday, September 18, 2021 and will last approximately two weeks. Among the 1000 apple trees, about fifteen varieties of apples are offered, including Honey Crisp, Liberty, Cortland, Lobo, McIntosh, Empire, Délicieuse and many more!
The apple picking period at the island’s orchard is subject to the sanitary measures recommended by the Producteurs de pommes du Québec. People must respect the following:
NOT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS RELATED TO COVID-19
WASH THEIR HANDS WHEN ENTERING AND LEAVING THE ORCHARD
KEEP A DISTANCE OF TWO (2) METRES FROM OTHER APPLE PICKERS WHO ARE NOT PART OF THEIR FAMILY UNIT
STAY IN PICKING AREAS
NOT BITE INTO APPLES IN THE ORCHARD OR EAT ANY OTHER FOOD
ORCHARD CERTIFIED AS ORGANIC BY ECOCERT CANADA
Over the past months, meticulous work has been done to ensure proper apple tree growth and great fruit quality. Rather than using chemicals, more “natural” methods are being applied and have resulted in exceptional yields in the orchard. An agronomist specialized in organic farming is lending her expertise to the team during this undertaking.
