Description From Owner:
Cricklewood Farm offers fun for the whole family. Raspberries should be ripening sometime around early to mid July. For availibility please call ahead.
Our apple orchard is around 10 acres in size. Throughout the season, we have over 40 different varieties of apples; 13 of which are available for pick your own.
On our farm we have an experimental plot which has several new apple varieties as well as many that are still being evaluated and as of yet are identified by a code. Have some fun and try a sample -you may just find a new favourite apple.
Every year our 6 acre corn maze changes. Over the past 6 years it has been an apple & corn cob, an elephant, a dragon, a castle, wolves, a pirate & his ship, and an octopus. For 2008 the maze is shaped like a firefighter.
Maze adventurers are challenged to solve several puzzles by collecting clues and information found in the maze. If they solve these puzzles they are rewarded with a prize. There is an admission charge to enter the maze.
During the season we have all kinds of pumpkins; orange, striped, white, big & small. Squash include acorn/pepper, butternut, orange & green hubbard, buttercup, sweet dumpling, spaghetti, turban, grey ghost, pink banana, stripetti & blue hubbard.
We also sell raspberries, sweet corn, gourds, cornstalks, honey, candy apples, homemade pies & cookies, and candy & caramel apples (on weekends).
A picnic area and straw mountain are available for your use and enjoyment.
We are excited to work together this year with the United Way for their fund raising campaign. For the weekend of October 18th and 19th we will be contributing a percentage of our maze sales to the United Way. Why not come out and have some fun?
We look forward to your return in 2008 and anyone else who would like to drop in and visit.
