Happy Thanksgiving weekend friends! We have always considered the week of the Norfolk County Fair and Thanksgiving to be the peak of harvest on our farm. These traditions aren't the same this year but it is still the absolute best time to celebrate the season with fresh apples. This weekend we will have our largest collection of varieties available this season that are all grown right here in Norfolk County on our family farm. Ambrosia, Hidden Rose, Aurora Golden Gala, Snowsw...eet, Honeycrisp, Creston, Crimson Crisp, Empire, Northern Spy, Tolman Sweet, Mutsu, Golden Delicious, Golden Russet and a smaller quantity of a few other varieties are all available at the barn today. Have a wonderful weekend friends! Open Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4 Monday 10-4 Tuesday to Friday 9-5

Hello October! We have a nice selection of apples to choose from on this beautiful fall day. We currently have Sweet Sixteen, Aurora Golden Gala, Snowsweet, Crimson Crisp, Honeycrisp, Golden Supreme, Silken, Empire, Gala, Cortland as well as Bosc pears....

Open Monday to Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4

Pink Pearl. This red fleshed apple has a very tart flavour. We only have a few trees of this variety which means only a handful are available at the barn. If you enjoy red fleshed apples, check in with us in early October for Hidden Rose which is still tart but much nicer for eating out of hand. Open Monday to Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4

Cleaver Orchards 09.09.2020

Did you know that the Frostbite apple is a grandparent to Honeycrisp? This small apple has a unique flavour and is often described as tasting like cranberries. We have a small quantity of this variety picked for the weekend but will have more this coming week once the temperature cools down. We also have Honeycrisp, Golden Supreme, Silken, Empire, Macs, Gala, Russet Bosc pears, local peppers and tomatoes and Bennett's Cider. Open Saturday 9-5... Sunday 10-4 Monday to Friday 9-5 Have a wonderful weekend friends!

We had our first pick of Silken yesterday which means that they are available in the barn starting TODAY! This Honeygold x Sunrise cross has been one of our personal favourites on the farm for many seasons. Silken has a nice thin skin, sweet flavour and is low in acidity. These qualities are a few of the many reasons why we consider this apple to be one of the best of the early season varieties. We cant wait for you to try them.... Open Monday to Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4

Cleaver Orchards 04.08.2020

We have Gloria peaches for sale in the barn today that were only picked this morning. This large freestone peach is low in acid and has a great sweet flavour. Hurry to get yours now! They wont be around for very long.

Friends! We will be opening our doors for the season THIS Saturday, August 29th at 9:00 am! We cant wait to get this season started and already have a nice selection of apples to choose from. Varieties include Dandee Red, Redfree, Zestar, Sunrise and Gingergold. *Due to the circumstances this year has brought, the barn will look a bit different when you arrive. You will likely be seeing a line as we are only allowed to have 4 individuals in at one time, with arrows and a par...tition directing you a certain way. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Unfortunately we are not able to provide samples (something that makes us very sad, as this is our favourite part of the barn) and we also cant do mixed bags. Upon entering the barn, please sanitize your hands with the provided hand sanitizer, have your mask on, and be mindful of the six feet social distancing rule with all other customers and staff.* We are looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday. Open Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4 Monday - Friday 9-5
