Enjoying the Fall Harvest at Ontario Farms in Collingwood

We are very fortunate living in the part of Canada where we enjoy four distinct seasons each year.

Of the four seasons, autumn  is my most favourite season of the year!

As soon as September rolls around, we start enjoying very comfortable mild cool temperature.

We went away for a week to enjoy this wonderful weather in Collingwood, a small city of about 12,000 people and a two hours drive north of Toronto.

A gorgeous Sunflower field at the Morrison Farm, Collingwood, Ontario

While in Collingwood, we attended a church service there on Sunday.

After church, we visited the Morrison Farm right across the road and the Fernwood Farm the next day.

Pumpkin are squash are  iconic vegetables of the fall season in Canada.

We have such an abundance of these two vegetables during this time  that they are everywhere.

They also come in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Goose neck squash - don't they look like the real thing?

My favourite squash is the goose neck squash we saw at one of the farms.

We saw a self help pay station at one of  the farms

Another neat thing we found at one of farm was that there was no one manning the booth.














It was an honour system where customers just dropped in their money in a cash box for their purchases.


It was even equipped with a credit card machine should one wish to pay with credit card.

Visiting the farms with the three amigos in Collingwood!

Visiting a pumpkin farm and picking out our pumpkins is a great Canadian tradition and a fun thing to do in the fall season!

We had a blast!
