Apples, pears, ciders and vinegars with a U-Pick in the scenic Annapolis Valley.
Boates Farm specializes in organic apples, pears, sweet apple cider and vinegars.
We strive to produce apples and pears with as few inputs as possible. This helps boost populations of beneficial insects and lends to an ecologically-friendly management system. All of our new orchard plantings are managed organically without synthetic inputs. Our organic program is certified by Pro-Cert Organic Systems Inc.
Fresh fruit, sweet cider and vinegar are marketed at a U-Pick during harvest in the Fall, located at Boates Farm as well as throughout the winter.

As you are likely aware, farming has been difficult this year due to one of the worst droughts in decades. Despite the lack of rain, we do have apples and pears at our farm; however, more moisture would complete the growing cycle.
Our U-Pick will open Saturday, September 6 and remain open from 9 am - 5 pm on Saturdays & Sundays only until further notice. If you would like to pick on a week day, let us know so we can accommodate you!
