Cassidy Orchards
Where picking your own apples is a tradition!
In 1892, the Cassidy family bought the farm located on old route 52 (now route 202). In the 1960s, the Cassidys launched the region’s first U-Pick, as well as a roadside apple stand with an “honour payment system”. This payment system, which is still in place today, piques the interest of our visitors.
In 1993, with no one to inherit the farm, the Cassidys passed the torch to the Weibel-Droulers family, who owned it for the next 19 years.
We started this amazing adventure in 2012, and invite you to enjoy the best pick-your-own experience or simply try our homemade products.
Come visit us as a family, with friends, or in a group. Our little corner of paradise is just 45 minutes outside of Montreal. We look forward to having you!
— Claudia, Jean-Luc and the kids
