I have to make a lot of apple pies for an event on the 18th, just wondering if this year's apples are available yet? or am I, as I fear a bit too early?
btw I already checked on the locavore site... no mention of apples.

Halls has some apples in season: www.hallsapplemarket.com

They are located in Brockville but if you need a large quantity I'm sure you can arrange to pick them up either at the Lansdowne Farmers Market or at any of their pickup depots: www.hallsapplemarket.com

Yup, the apple guy showed up at Parkdale during my 2 week vacation. He is there now.

Harvest Moon Orchards on The Carp Road have apples available already and some other produce and gifts as well.

www.mountainorchards.ca opened Labour Day weekend and is open 7 days a week (and has wagon rides and made-while-you-wait apple cider donuts weekends only).
www.smythsappleorchard.ca in Dundela south east of Mountain and home of the original McIntosh apple is also open and has variety of apples shown at link.

Pinewood Orchards on Carling Ave. west of Moodie and the train bridge has had apples for a while. You can pick up large bags for pies either at the roadside stand or at the orchard itself.

I go to Harvest Moon Orchard every year for my apples too, love that place. They don't have a pick your own option anymore I don't think though. Just to let those who would rather pick their apples know.
I wasn't sure if they had their apples ready yet, so thanks for the update W.C.

I'd like to check out Smyths apple orchard, never been before but neat that's the home of the McIntosh apple. I'm not sure where Dundela is though, haven't heard of that town but I'll check out their website and if they aren't too far I may go this weekend.
