Heading out apple picking in and around Metro Vancouver is a great way to get your family active outdoors this fall! It’s always best to call ahead to make sure any particular apple picking info hasn’t changed unexpectedly before you set out with your family.
We've made it easy to find locations near you with options in Abbotsford, Gabriola Island, Vancouver Island, Vernon, and West Kelowna.
