Fall at the farm in Vernon, BC
When it comes to fall, there is one Vernon institution that does it best! Davison Orchard Country Village is a place that smells of fall, looks of fall, and even tastes of fall.
With treats such as apple donuts, apple cider and pumpkin pie (soon!), Davison Orchard is a sweet setting. Located at the north end of the fertile Okanagan Valley along the south-facing slopes above historic Bella Vista Road, the farm is a close drive from downtown Vernon. It's a perfect location in that it is close to town, yet it feels distant and rural.
There are many great family activities at the farm, like choosing a special Halloween pumpkin, which has always been a difficult task for me because there are so many shapes and sizes. Visitors can take a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch to choose the perfect pumpkin and then head back to explore the farm's other activities.
Another farm favourite is the petting zoo, which includes goats and donkeys. Hunger is a natural part of exploring Davison Orchard, but have no fear—there are plenty of warm goodies available at Auntie May’s Deep Dish Café.
You will not want to leave Davison Road Country Village without something to take home. A personal favourite of mine is the freshly squeezed local apple juice. I have never tasted such amazing juice until I had Davison’s apple juice.
Whether it is with young children or with the young at heart, everyone will enjoy the fall fun at Davison!
