Pick your own cranberry: family fun !

For those who think that the pick-your-own season ends with summer, think again! Autumn brings sun-drenched fruits that are waiting for you. 

Indeed, the cranberry known for its many benefits can also offer an unrivalled outdoor experience. Here are 4 reasons why you should plan a visit to a cranberry field:

An agro-educational activity
Visiting the farm is part of the pick-your-own activity. The owners, Lucienne and Jean, open their doors and tell you how they transformed this 28-acre sand quarry into a cranberry farm. Walking along the fields, you will – no doubt –  realize the enormous work done upstream by the producers allowing you to enjoy your delicious cranberry juice… or your Cosmopolitan!

Fun for children, parents and grandparents
In addition to an outdoor walk in the beautiful colours of autumn, you will enjoy carefully choosing the bright and tasty fruits. Younger explorers may experience for the first time the tangy taste of this red pearl. What a pleasure to taste the berries they have picked themselves! You don’t have to put on your waterproof boots, because the fields will be dry during your visit. Not to mention that mosquitoes will have already deserted the place.

Freshness on your table
This little red fruit can be used in many of your favorite recipes: smoothie, jelly, cookies, etc. You can stock up on products including dehydrated cranberries and the famous chocolate-coated fresh cranberries, unique to VMO Gardens! Yum!

Quality time
This family activity in the light of September or October will certainly enhance your photo album. It can continue with the discovery of a local park or a craft cheese factory. An activity that, without a doubt, gives the pleasure of eating a taste of authenticity. 

Have a good pick-your-own visit !
