If you are looking for an on farm experience, Halton is home to many pick your own farms that give you a chance to harvest your own fruits and vegetables. It has become a family tradition in our home that every Thanksgiving we go apple picking, and almost each year we discover another great pick your own farm. This is a great family activity and there is nothing better than walking into an apple orchard on a cool morning, with the scent of nature in the air.
