About This Farm
Kooistra Orchards on South Maple Island Road at Twin Lake is the furthest north orchard in this region, and it runs on an unusual split: picking two days a week, but a self-serve barn open every day.
What You Can Pick
Apples, from September 11, and pumpkins after them.
U-pick is Fridays and Saturdays only, 9am to 5pm. That is the thing to plan around.
What Else is Available
A self-serve pole barn, open every day 9am to 5pm, selling apples, pumpkins, winter squash and sweet corn. If you cannot make a Friday or Saturday, that is the fallback.
Pro tip: a self-serve barn on an honour system, open daily, is worth knowing about for a midweek drive when nothing else up here is open.
