Annual Fruit Tasting Open House - Saturday Oct 14 2023

Note: this is a free event, but please consider supporting 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 apples and pears and take a self-guided tour of our holistically-managed test orchard.

Date and Time: Saturday, Oct 14th, 2023 here at the nursery, 9:00am-4:00pm

Parking: TBD

The Tasting: We have been harvesting all sorts of fruits and berries from our orchard all summer and fall! Come on into the white hoop house (in the potted area) and a staff member will help you collect a plate to sample in the big white tasting tent located to the south of the sales area.

Making Cider: We'll be doing cider demos throughout the day, approximately every half hour. This is an interactive activity, with children (and adults!) helping toss fruit in or turn the crank. 

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: The following vendors will have some wonderful goodies to buy!
  • Huckleberry Hives (honey and candles made by Steph's sister), only available from 9am-2pm
  • Momma Bear's Quilts (quilts and quilted things made by Steph's Momma), only available from 9am-2pm
  • Wayne and Rosanna's succulents and eggs (grown/raised here)
  • and of course, us, Silver Creek Nursery; we'll have a shared booth with Wayne and Rosanna's goodies. 
If you have any questions, please send us an email at sales@silvercreeknursery.ca, or give us a call at 519-804-6060.
