Fruit picking: apples, strawberries, blueberries…
In Québec, picking fruit on farms is a popular, much-loved activity and a wonderful way to connect with nature while enjoying fresh produce. Orchards and farms across the province open their doors for seasonal picking of all kinds of fruit, such as apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and many more. For example, the Lower Laurentians region is famous for its apple orchards, where places like Domaine Lafrance let visitors pick their own fruit in a lovely setting.
Fruit picking is the family activity par excellence, loved by Quebecers of all ages. It’s not just about picking fresh fruit: it’s also a great day outdoors, often with picnics and walks through the fields. Farms also offer extra activities like farm tours, playgrounds for kids and farmers’ markets where you can buy local products. Combining fun, nature and good food, it’s a friendly, healthy way to enjoy the seasons in Québec.
