The older rootstocks of our trees and the high natural mineral content in the soil on the Canadian Shield, give our apples a taste that is second to none. We have reduced chemical applications to less than 20 % of the average used by larger commercial orchards. This has been achieved by implementing "Integrated Pest Management" practices. We feel that our apples are grown as organically as possible, while still maintaining the strict standards required by our customer base.
Pinewood Orchards is a proud member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and has participated in the Ontario Environmental Farm Plan program.
We grow fresh vegetables throughout the season as well as partnering with other local farms to showcase the freshest produce the Ottawa Valley has to offer. Send us an email and we will let you know what's in season at the Orchard!
