Apple Picking is here!

I love Halton, there is SO much to do here and very closeby. For fun today I took the kids west down highway 5 to Frootogo Farms to pick apples and play.


Yes, apple season is here. It must have been the last couple of chilly mornings that reminded me. And the farm is open!

Have you been to Frootogo yet? It's in the very east end of Waterdown, off highway 5 on Evans road, maybe a 15 minute drive from Oakville.

Five reasons I love it at Frootogo:

1. It's free to visit!! (good reason!)

2. Pick-your-own apples is a fun & healthy experience for the kids. They feel like REAL farmers! We picked Paula Red today and more varieties will become ripe soon. In the fall they open up their fields for pumpkin picking.

3. The farm market is great. I always go home with fresh loot! Today I bought green beans, delicious cheddar scones to have with dinner and lots of apples! (They ask that no outside food comes in but provide loads of well priced options from drinks to soup to produce...)

4. The play yard is terrific! Hay bales & retired tractors to climb plus swing set, monkey bars, big sandbox with sand toys and TONS of ride on toys. There's a little animal area too where kids can see bunnies, goats and geese.

5. Frootogo likes momstown!! :) Every Wednesday August-October is momstown day and show your card in the market/cafe for a special treat/discount (often free coffee!)

Keep an eye on the momstown Oakville calendar for a couple of trips over to Frootogo or just throw your kids in the car on a random day and I promise you'll have fun. Only 15 minutes away and you're at the farm!!
