π¨π¦ Cherry Picking Season! Just 2 Hours From Toronto ππ
This year we visited the historic Cherry Avenue Farms for our annual cherry-picking adventure! Spread across massive grounds (with tractor rides to the orchards!), this is hands-down the largest U-pick cherry farm in the region. Their cherries? Absolutely divine - the golden varieties are perfectly ripe now and taste like sunshine! π Why We Loved It: β Shady trees provide cool respite (no scorching sun!) β Jumbo-sized cherries hiding in the middle/upper branches β Provided ladders for hard-to-reach spots β Low branches perfect for little pickers π§π β Great value - only pay for what you pick (no entry fee!) β οΈ Heads Up: β Watch your head - those low branches are sneaky! β Basket handles can detach (hold carefully!) β Arrive EARLY - we hit crazy noon lines β SUNSCREEN & water are MUSTS! π Pro Tip: Check their website for daily updates - as of July 17th, picking should continue for 1-2 more weeks! π Post-Picking Detour: We stopped at Hamilton's Confederation Beach for sunset (though the coarse sand isn't kid-friendly). Those brave enough can dip toes in the freezing water with the geese! π¦βοΈ π Cherry Avenue Farms (Perfect summer day trip from Toronto!) #CanadianSummer #CherryPicking #FarmFun #TorontoDayTrip #FruitPicking #SummerMemories #FamilyActivities #PickYourOwn #CherryLovers #OntarioFarms #WeekendAdventure #FoodieTravel
