I have been going to Chudleighs for so many years that I have lost track. I love it so much that I have taken many many many friends over the years so I can share my fondness for this well run family operation.
I try to pick a sunny Sunday (easier said than done) and off we go EARLY. This is the trick to a successful trip to Chudleighs.
Here is the game plan.
9:30 a.m. head to Tim Hortons (like any good family outing) and then head to the highway.
10:15 a.m arrive at Chudleighs, park, pay admission etc.
10:30 a.m. head right to the tractors that take you out to the apple orchards
11:15 a.m. head to the cashiers to pay for your apples (if you miss this step, you will wait in line forever at the end of the day)
11:30 a.m. head to the bbq for unbelievable corn on the cob
12:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m…enjoy the petting zoo, the swings, the playground, the corn maze, the cafe, pony rides etc
REPEAT those activities over and over.
I know the schedule is tight but I promise you…it works. Otherwise you will be faced with long line ups and cranky children. (not in that order).
Other farms you might want to visit: Forsythe Farms and Pingles Farm Market.
Happy Apple Picking!!
