annual fruit tasting

Note: this is a free event, but please support our hard working vendors. 

Have you ever wished to sample some of our interesting varieties before buying a tree? Stop in during our annual fruit tasting open house! You can sample various fruits and take a self-guided tour of our holistically-managed test orchard.

Date and Time: Friday, October 11th from 4pm-7pm and Saturday, October 12th, 2024 from 9am-12pm
Location: Silver Creek Nursery, 2343 Gerber Road, Wellesley, ON, N0B 2T0
Parking: East driveway between field 135 and 140.

The Tasting: We have been harvesting all sorts of fruits and berries from our orchard all summer and fall! We plan to set the big tent up in the orchard this year, leaving accessibility parking in the main driveway, and vendors and plants for sale in the sales area (where the tasting has been previous years)Note: Our crop is smaller than normal this year so there will be a smaller selection of fruit than in previous years.

Self-Guided Tour: This hasn't changed much, though since we pastured the pigs through the orchard recently, the ground is considerably less even; stick to the main driveway in the orchard for smoother walking.

Other Vendors: Multiple local vendours will be selling various goods at the Fruit Tasting!
    If you have any questions, please send us an email at sales@silvercreeknursery.ca, or give us a call at 519-804-6060.
