“Our main goal is to have people come here for the experience and leave with great memories,” says Myriam Belot Edwards of her family-run operation. Kilmarnock Orchard is a great place for birthday parties, wedding showers, corporate picnics or just hanging out with family and friends. Tractor-drawn wagons transport visitors around the orchard during Pick-Your-Own season and picnic tables are provided for those who wish to bring along their own lunch. Visitors are also invited to book a fun, educational tour, experience cider pressing, taste the fruits of our labour with local chefs, enjoy a cup of cider with our Island Apples pies or a BBQ luncheon (weekends only). For more information check our website.
Kilmarnock Orchard is located on the beautiful little Island of Kilmarnock overlooking the Historic Rideau River, no passport required! They grow 25 varieties of apples along with fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden.
“Weather often poses a challenge and can put stress on our trees,” says Myriam, “but we strive to do more than just sell apples. We are blessed with a great staff and with the support of my family and believe strongly in local flavours. That is what you will find in our Apple Shoppe.”
