Archibald Orchards and Estate Winery > Clarington 

A day for apples 

These might just be our specialty. It’s no 

wonder that the annual Applefest brings 

upwards of 50,000 people, each year, to 

historic downtown Bowmanville. Throngs 

of local musicians, artisans, log carvers, 

fiddlers and crafters gather to put on a 

show. Apples are pressed into cider and 

dressed into fritters, tarts and treats galore. 

But nothing beats crunching down on 

the pure and juicy original thing. When 

autumn is in the air, find a basket or two 

for yourself at Nature’s Bounty or Ocala 

Orchards in Scugog; and Archibald 

Orchards, Algoma Orchards and 

Watson’s Farms in Clarington. 

Only 16 per cent of Ontario’s lands are suitable for growing 

blueberries. Lucky for us, the conditions in Durham Region are 

just right. Visit Wilmont Orchards in Newcastle to pick your 

own, or take home a basket when the season is ripe.
