Letter to the Program Director or Tour Operator

Welcome to Cannamore Orchard and our programs for your group or organization. Cannamore Orchard offers a variety of tours your group may be interested in taking. We have spring or strawberry tours, as well as tours during the summer months. During September and October you can book either an apple or pumpkin tour.

Tours involve a wagon ride to the strawberry fields, apple orchard or pumpkin fields. All wagons can accommodate wheel chairs and we have ramps from the ground to the wagon if needed. All tours also include a stop at the bee yard. Tours are lead by a bilingual tour guide and include information for the type of tour you request as well as information on honey bees and their importance for pollination. If you would like to visit the activity/museum display, please let us know when booking your tour so arrangements can be made. This area contains displays related to apples, honey, maple sugar, strawberries, pumpkins and Halloween as well as eggs and cherries. There are also activities that children can do related to how things were done in the past. Please note that it may not always be possible to get a French or bilingual guide for the activity/museum area. You should allow 2 hours for your tour and book either for morning or afternoon.

You can pick your own strawberries or buy pre-picked berries during the strawberry tour and during apple season, harvesting apples from our dwarf trees allows picking without the use of ladders. You can even pick apples while sitting in a wheel chair. For those who are more active, visit the web site for more activities.

We can arrange coffee and pie either in our indoor eating area or at the picnic tables outside around the pond. If your group wishes, they can enjoy the outdoors while playing cards or participating in any group activities you decide to bring with you. Don’t forget to visit the animal corral.

Our country store offers a variety of products. We have pies, fudge, maple syrup, honey, jams and jellies as well as giftware and Halloween and fall decorations.

All tours are $7.00, plus HST, per person with 1 supervisor free per 8 visitors. Additional supervisors are charged only $3.00, plus HST. There is a minimum charge of $75.00 plus HST for each tour.

If you wish to book a tour, all information, as well as a booking sheet, can be found at the Cannamore Orchard web site: www.cannamoreorchard.com Those wishing to book a tour, especially for apples or pumpkins, are advised to book early. Our tours are very popular and many fall dates are fully booked by the first week in September. If you need additional information not found on the web page call the orchard at (613) 448-3633.

We look forward to booking your tour soon.

Please note that all activities related to the Spooky Wagon RideTM are not included in any of the tours.
