So far, we’ve been having a glorious fall in Ottawa despite a few rainy days. Before the cozy, colourful season is behind us, you better get out and enjoy it…winter is coming.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s no shortage of fun fall activities here in the National Capital Region, so here’s a round-up of some of our favs!<\/span><\/p>\n

An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Nothing says fall quite like a day at an apple orchard. Although this was a difficult growing season, with frost in the spring and drought in the summer, our local apple farmers were still able to deliver some delicious crops. We encourage you to get out there and score some fresh apples before they are all gone! You may not be able to pick your own, but many orchards are selling pre-picked apples which are just as tasty as the ones your pick yourself. We smell apple pie!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some local orchards you can visit:<\/span><\/p>\n

• Mountain Orchards<\/a> <\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
• Pinewood Orchard<\/a> <\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
• Cannamore Orchard <\/span><\/a><\/a><\/li>\n
• Ferme L’Artisan Farm<\/a> <\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  *We recommend checking hours and apple availability before visiting.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

  Apple season may have had a harder year, but pumpkin season is here and thriving! Set the stage for a picturesque fall photoshoot with the family at one of the region’s countless pumpkin patches. Plus, you can pick out the perfect pumpkins for carving come Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n
