Learn more about apples (and Crabapples) than you ever imagined!
Walk through North America’s only explorable orchard. Take a 45 minute guided tour through 1.5 acres of crabapple orchard. After the tour, snacks are provided to sample some of the crabaple products grown right on the orchard itself.
During the tour you will learn how we are working to bring crabapples back to Canadian Landscapes. Also learn why crabapples matter, and how apple growing has changed over the last 50 years.
Once the tour is over, feel free to explore the orchard on your own and take pictures of anything of intrest!
Went to this orchard on a whim and found myself way more invested in the crabapple industry then I ever could have expected. Glen is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He is a spectacular tour guide that walked us through both the business and agricultural side of things.
I highly recommend checking out this orchard tour and I guarantee you will learn something new, and enjoy the delicious products that they make with the crabapples! I especially liked the spicy jelly.
Do you sell the crabapples themselves or just crabapple products? If so, do you sell by the bushell? Also, what specific types of crabapple trees do you grow?
We met this wonderful team at St Jacob’s on Sept 9. Purchased a few cases of the juices as well as the jellies. We had company for dinner and based the menu completely around the crabapple. Spicy crabapple jellied pork loin, garlic and parsnip puree, candied asparagus which was their suggestion. The meal was amazing and never ending compliments about the flavors. We also did drinks with the peach flavor and crown road peach which is absolutely to die for, if thay is too sweet the pear flavour is a delightful option. We will definitely be spreading the word.

Hi Jen!
We sell crabapples only in season which is early August until the end of August.
Our crabapples are called Dolgo crabapples, and are tart in flavour. Excellent for jelly or juicing.
