Each season many bus loads of people come to our farm to pick sweet cherries. Half of the trips are exclusively for picking cherries. The other half takes advantage of our location and visit the Niagara area for the balance of the day.

Most bus groups choose to spend one to one and a half hours on the property. There are plenty of parking spaces for buses and highway coaches. Upon entry, one of our staff members will greet your tour and explain the farm policies and procedures. Please read 'Policies' and 'Tips'. Guests are encouraged to drink water or other liquids before entering the orchard.

Each person entering the orchard will have a choice of five different purchasing options. Please refer to our 2008 price list for details. It is important to note that each guest over age 12 must pre-purchase an E.D. Smith cherry pail prior to entering the orchard. Admission to our farm is free.

Our farm gates are open from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm on weekends and holidays; and from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm on weekdays.

As our way of saying thank you, the bus tour leader of each group of 30 or more people who purchase a pail of cherries will receive a complimentary standard pail to pick cherries and the bus driver will receive a complimentary mini pail. 

New for the 2008 cherry picking season. We are introducing an exclusive cherry picking area on our North Farm. This area is reserved strictly for bus tour groups. There is ample parking for buses a short distance from the orchard and the Welcome Centre offers modern washroom facilities. Cherry picking locations may vary depending on supply.
