Apple of Your Eye

Visit an apple orchard and find out how this delicious fruit is grown! Apples are grown all across Canada. Many kinds of apple were created or discovered in Canada, including the famous McIntosh apple. In the fall, many apple orchards allow people to pick their own apples. It’s a fun way to spend an autumn afternoon!
