Fruit just tastes better when you've picked it yourself. There are a ton of places across Simcoe County where you can pick your own fruit and do so safely. Small groups, social distancing, and other precautions will make sure this year's harvests are just as fun as previous years!

First up, let's take a trip to Avalon Orchards located in Innisfil. Their picking schedule of varieties available depends on mother nature, but you can look forward to Redfree, Nova McIntosh, and Red Nova Spy. The only admission charge to pick is a smile and a promise to be kind to their trees!

If you have a huge lack of strawberries in your house, this one's for you. R Family Farm will fix up your strawberry shortage in no time with two and four-pound baskets for you to fill. While you might be tempted to taste test, make sure you don't eat any strawberries before they get washed!

If, on the other hand, you're stocked up on strawberries but don't have a single blueberry to your name, a trip to Chapman's Berries will sort you right out. At only $3.50 a basket, you'll have more blueberries than you'll know what to do with, but that's a nice problem to have if we're being honest.
Fernwood Farms and Market
