Ontario Apple Harvest Expected To Continue Until The End Of October

The apple harvest is here and local farmers say it’s tastier than ever.

The apple season, which started with early varieties mid-August and is now seeing the more popular types come ready, is expected to continue until the end of October.

“We actually have some early apples, so we started harvesting in August. We have some early varieties that are delicious right off the tree,” said Kim Duffin of Duffin Farms in Fonthill.

The early varieties might be great freshly picked, but Duffin said they don’t keep well – unlike the varieties picked now which will store and be sold fresh all winter long at the farm’s on-property market store.
