This Zoo corresponds to the category of Farm.
Great location for some fresh produce. They also have baked goods(the bread was incredible) and a mix of plenty of other things to buy. Definitely worth a stop. After shopping and enjoying a bite to eat, go visit the animals in the back. There are chickens, roosters, goats, etc... all nearby for people to see, feed or pet.
Always fun, amazing apples. BC finest, you will never find there apples in a majoy grocery store.
What a fun stop for all ages! It's really geared for little ones but my teenage daughter and I really enjoyed the farm animals, the tractor tour of the orchards and the amazing selection of fresh fruit, preserves and fresh baked goods! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often!
It was fun despite the rainy weather. Lots of different fruits, vegetables, and nick-nack shopping. The female parking attendant was a bit rude demanding I close the car door while I was helping my mother get in the car.
Great fun, and very kids friendly! They have a very good sandwich shop, in addition to a wonderful grocery store selling their own produce
Delicious produce from local farms. Apple juice and pie are too good to be true for metro city folk like me
Always great to walk through the the gift shop and look at the country Chic decor. Also I love the little taste testers strewn throughout ! I recommend the mixed berry frozen yogurt - so rich and creamy and delicious. Amazing produce and the apple juice is perfection.
Delicious apple juice and selection of pies, variety of fresh vegetables, amazing view. Very enjoyable place.
Great place to go have a coffee overlooking Vernon, or bring your whole family and let the children play with two playgrounds to choose from. There are beautiful gifts and souvenirs, but the icing on the cake of this place is it's produce and apple juice ????
Radical place to visit. The train ride (tractor ride) is rad. I have done both the pumpkin patch ride and now the apple ride as well. It is nice that there is no entry fee to get to the nice large playground area and where the animals are. It makes spending more money at their fabulous store a lot easier! Very friendly staff and lots of homemade items.
Bit of a tourist trap but done very well. The produce here is of very high quality but you do pay for it. Lots and lots of quality souvenirs. Anything you would need for the kitchen back home. Grounds are well kept and the animals are a nice touch. Would go again for sure.
Cute place to stop by. Best apple juice! Their pies are a hit and miss, however apple pie is pretty consistent. Their auntie mays food stop is rather uneventful. Staff were ok, even though breakfast menu was on the board, displayed; they said they wouldn’t serve us breakfast sandwiches and they quickly changed the menu to lunch. We decided to go elsewhere. Regardless, a great place for kids to run around and play.
Awesome family farm with incredible fresh fruits and baked goods. Goats to feed and pet. Very fun tractor ride thay kids love to see the pumpkin patches. Also a great lunch spot ???? and wonderful gift shop
Loved my visit! Definitely worth the trip
Great stop for fresh fruit and veggies in Vernon. You can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and piece of pie with a great view from the patio overlooking Lake Okanagan. Not super accessible for wheelchairs especially to the restroom area but friendly and welcoming.
Friendly staff & super fun family experience. I took my daughter on the tractor ride to pick our own apples & she loved it (as did I). The orchard is well cared for & the apples are delicious! We'll definitely be back.
This is a delightful venue for small children. The property is very well maintained and there are lots of play ground/activities for kids. The petting zoo is clean. The farm market is lovely and staff are nice.
delicious fruit/veggies. love the free kids coral. train rides are awesome and informational. train ride passes are an awesome deal and well worth the money. plus you get discounted apple juice slushies ????
A must-do for the kids when you’re in Vernon. Great food, lots of animals and parks for the kids. The store has a ton of stuff but the jams are absolutely delicious (and there’s usually samples for you to try as well). The cafe on site has good food and coffee. We were there on the wrong day, but there is usually a train running for the kids.
So adorable and nice to just go and play with the kids, you dont NEED to spend money... altho I suggest you bring some.... best caramel apple ever!
Fabulous family-run farm selling delicious produce in its farm shop, activities for kids and a great cafe with hearty sandwiches, amazing apple pie and juice, and the best pumpkin pie I've ever eaten.
An extremely interesting place and area, if i had more time i would have visited every store in the little village, and everything we got was absolutely spectacular. I can tell everyone around loves the area because everyone was very friendly and the place was very clean, if i could rate it a 10/10 i would have. Cant wait to return some day
An annual Fall tradition! Something for everyone here. Tractor rides to the pumpkin patch, farm playground, feeding animals and amazing harvest food. Although it gets busy in October the staff are wonderful.
The best Apple juice in the Okanagan! We bring home multiple litres every time! Fun, family friendly place to spend some time exploring.
Nice farm to bring the family if you're in the area. Good place to bring kids. Views are nice too.
Wonderful place. I love this orchard. Lots of fresh fruits, juice and multiple products which are made fresh are available. Took the little tractor train ride around the farm and our driver did a little stop where he explained the run around of the orchards. Very well maintained place and very cheap to navigate around. Absolutely lovely, highly recommend this place to people of all ages. Also don't forget to check the bee store located on the main road ( by the entrance) Note: some items are seasonal and may not be available when you visit.
I may have to go again on a weekday to give a better review, as I am averse to crowds, and it was extremely crowded. The problem is I don't really want to go again. Seems like a great place for autumn pictures if that's your thing, and free admission is great, but I find the prices high otherwise. Then again, this is a small town with little competition, so--charge what you can with a monopoly! (Or close to it)
Great place for the family and coming here has become an annual tradition for mine. Large unique farm style playground with tunnels and slides and tree houses and tractors for the kids. Lots of animals nearby that love to be fed, tractor tours around the property and a large country village/market place. Best time to visit is in fall. Check their website and social media for current events taking place on the weekends.
Beautiful place with amazing views, great shop, ice-cream place and playground for kids. A must visit
Family friendly enviroment. Great for all seasons. Yummy fresh produce. Cute country decor. Kids love feeding the animals.
I love this place! I go there whenever we are in Vernon. They have a variety of things to see and sample. It is definately worth a visit!!!
Something for everyone! Great place to shop for fruit, vegetables, homemade foods and gifts. Their apple juice is divine!
It’s a great place! They have the best u-pick apples. We have visited it many times. Animals, playground, apple pie, apple slush, and ice cream are always great over there! You can visit it in different months. And, they have u-pick pumpkins. And, do not forget to try their apple juice.
Lots of fun to be had for the whole family. Very pleasant staff. Great food.
Wonderful place. Friendly, clean and great produce. Love the caramel apples.
So hot in the August sun, bring water. The tour on the tractor train was fun. And the fruit made here is so delicious. Lots of places for the kids to play.
Great local tourist trap. Lots of fun stuff for home and amazing food. Do the tractor ride nerd! PS they need to expand the building during bust season.
Wonder family farm with heaps to do for children. The apple juice and pie is a must buy. Unreal!
Several good food options - including fruits ice cream.
Great family experience like always
Great for little ones and stroller friendly. Well curated gift shop and treats for everyone.
Summary: The Kids Have Fun, Stuff is Expensive I could be criticized either way: "It's a tourist trap!"; OR, "It's tourist heaven!" We have come here once during the summer for the last 5 years, so something keeps us coming back. My guess is: - Kids have fun feeding and petting the animals. The donkeys are the best. - Kids have fun playing in the kids park with slides, net, small tree house, frisbee golf - Kids have fun eating ice cream - Kids have fun making the link between food and farming. After all, the grocery store is just a way-point. I guess this is also a good reminder for adults. Everything sold there is priced for tourists. Would you really buy a styrofoam squirrel for about $30?? See you next year, Davison Orchards!
We are first time visitors at BC and we were recommended to come to this place. If you do love to get away from the city and just enjoy breakfast/lunch plus buy fresh fruits etc then this place is a must. They also do 20min tours around the orchards and let the kids experience fun while riding a tractor. This place offers fresh baked bread, coffee, breakfast and lunch items, fruit ice cream ????.
Very cute barn building holds a nice store where you can buy lots of yummy food and knick knacks. They have a goat petting area. They also have a lovely little restaurant right out front that has amazing views of Vernon.
Old fashioned farm, kids and adults enjoy this. Walking area or tractor rides. Great pies and food. Shops and crafts...
Great place for a visit. Grab a sandwich and drink from the Cafe. They have tractor train tours of the orchard. Great afternoon.
Lots of goodness here. Great place to take your little ones! Parking is good and there are plenty of open spaces to explore. Lots of goats, sheep, and other animals to show your kids as well as tractor rides and playgrounds. When you're tired or just want to meet up with a friend, there are cafes and restaurants too.
We love it here. Feeding the animals is so much fun (bring quarters), the playground is great for littles, and the produce is delicious. Plus, samples!
So much fun! It's neat to see the orchard trees. They also have pigs, goats, and sheep to see - quite fun for little ones. They have a shop with their fresh produce for sale as well as other neat items (jams, syrups, tea towels, mugs). They also have pies, yum! We ate at the little cafe, they serve sandwiches, soups, scones, and pie. The soup and scone was very tasty.
Cute space for a quick visit if in the area! Could see this being a fantastic place for those with children, as they had a whole play area.
Cutest little place in Vernon!! Great place to bring kids. We took an orchard tour and got great information about the family that runs the farm itself. Their general store offered an ice cream or yogurt that was blended with fresh berries on the spot. SOOO good! They had a little petting zoo where you can pay a quarter to get some treats to feed the goats and sheep. They obviously know foods coming because they will out on this crazy show for you! Lol ... lots of artisan goods and local produce. They have pies and sausages as well as fruits, jams and other kitchen products. A must see in Vernon!
Great place for kids! Lots to do, very friendly
Such a fun place to visit - kids had a blast! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The produce was fantastic. A definite spot to visit regularly!
Great place to spend the afternoon with kids ... snacks and coffee.
A cute place to bring younger children. The shop was way overpriced though and not alot of entertainment for older kids. They do have baby pumpkin pies!
It is one of our staples when we visit Vernon/Lake Country/Kelowna. We always end up sticking around for the food, or buying the food (and apple juice) on our drive back home. We like how there is plenty to do for all ages, and being able to tour the orchard was an interesting experience. Coming here during Apple Picking Season is probably our favorite time to come.
A lovely place to visit for both adults and children. The view & the fall colors are amazing this time of year. Other attractions is a barn with chickens, goats, donkeys, wild turkeys and horses and a lovely gift shop with many interesting items and apples galore. Before leaving we had hot apple cider with a maple pumpkin scone. Yum yum Highly recommend to take the time to enjoy this place and try great local food. ❤️
i really was disappointed with the customer service at this place. and besides cute playgrounds for my farm l9ving boy i was disappointed. we couldnt pet animals the train ride was like 5 min with a 15 min stop for the driver to talk about the farm. oh i did like the food .
Great family place to visit!
Love love love the baked goods, fresh fruit and local eats. Great activities for the kids. I didn't know there was u pick vegetables!
Very nice market! Lots of hand made products, well organized, stylish, clean, nice colors. You can visit the farm, appel picking, buy products and eat. To recommend.
Awesome country farm fresh goods, fruit market and cafe. Best place to stop in Vernon on a hot day, MUST get the apple juice slushie, it is sooooo good. Cafe has really good sandwiches and soups and pies. My personal favorite is the turkey on rye, surprisingly good, like you'll want another one after eating it. Inside the market the concentrated apple juice is awesome, get frozen bottle if taking home on long drive. Salad dressing and other bottled goods are amazing. Bathrooms are really nice, modern and clean. Do not skip this stop if in Vernon.
A fantastic place to visit with our 3 young kids, it kept them busy for hours and they slept with their duckies from the ducky race and haven't let them go since. We had the cheesiest grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever seen.
Amazing place! Tons to do for the little ones and there is no charge to roam the grounds, just be respectful. There is a lovely gift shop and bakery on site as well as a cafe! Beautifully done! Such a nice way to visit a working farm and have a chance to get up close to the animals. Super clean too!
5 stars because its a repeat venue for us and if you have kids you need to go at least once to decide for yourself . Fun with seasonal berry and pumpkin desserts, animals, playground, and little market store.
Great family place, very kid friendly. Food is excellent, produce is great. Best cantaloupe I've ever had, very fresh! Corn was excellent too! Highly recommended!
We are visiting from Ontario and stopped by and loved it! I cannot day enough about what a great spot this is. We travel a lot and see many places with our kids but I have never seen the care or attention to detail as I have here. It is so clean, well thought out and perfect for families! All ages would like this as they have something for everyone. Playgrounds, and even interactive games for older ones. High chairs, booster seats, and even when we have coffee there was a little snack for the baby! Easy to get around with a stroller! Animals to feed. Gorgeous gift shop and bakery. And the most spectacular view. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend time there and we will go back as many times as we can before we leave! Someone has taken a lot of effort and time to care for this place and the attention to detail is on point! Well done!
What a treat for Vernon! This family run farm has added many features and activities for a family to experience an apple farm. The on site made from scratch baking and juices are wonderful!
Was a really well-appointed building/business but it was pretty costly to take a wagon ride in a loop from in front of the building we started in to behind that same building where we were allowed to pick apples. We felt pretty rushed to pick from two designated lines of apple trees and get back on the train (less than 10 minutes later) to go back to the same building. The driver may have just been having an off day but he was all business about how not to damage the trees and no smiles. Think we were just hoping for something more relaxed and less timed/guided.
Applelanche. Apple Juice slushies. I've driven for hours just to enjoy these amazing drinks. The kids always enjoy it. The fruit, especially the Apples, are always top notch. A tourist place, but it is still worth a visit.
Exceptionally well done. Attention to detail shows everywhere here from the care and upkeep of the animals and grounds, play structures and options for children to the many high quality products made and served in bakery and store. Only drawback is souvenirs and store items can get pricey because you want to have it all!
What a lovely place for a day trip!! Drove in from Kelowna with my 3 year old. Lots of things to do, 3 hours wasn't enough!! Play structures, animals, tractor ride, apple picking, restaurant, coffee shop, fresh produce and baking. Has it all!!! Loved our visit, will definitely be back.
One of Vernon's treasures. They seem to have and do everything here. They grow there own produce and have a market place on site to sell you anywhere from jams, pies, their own apple juice and a wide selection of fresh produce of all kinds. They have a little place you can have a nice lunch with a wide selection on the menu including their own pies. Nice after a sandwich and soup for sure. They even have fun rides for the family. A must for any Vernon visitor. Clean and well maintained with a long family history. And if you like honey, there is the best honey sore you will ever visit. It is just outside the Davison Orchard ????????
Great place to go especially if you have children. It's kind of busy on weekends and holidays but that remains a great place. So in love with their apples, apple juice and apple syrup ????
Amazing produce. Also a wide selection of sauces, jams, fantastic baked goods, stylized kitchen wares, fresh juices, etc. Kids can enjoy the petting zoo. Tours of the orchard on a mini tractor-pulled train are available. Al fresco Cafe with delicious food. Ice cream and frozen yogurt has real fruit mixed in. Great for regular shopping or a fun tourist stop or just lunch. Lots of parking.
Awesome! What a cool place to spend an hour. Lots for the kids to do and a little shopping for the adults. Beautiful farm.
Stunning no matter the season! I highly recommend you start at Aunt May's for lunch, and follow that up with a stroll through the marketplace. Keep an eye open for various family oriented events throughout the season too!
Great fun even in the rain. Loved the tastings of the variety of delicious apples. Lots of fresh fruit, jams and cute gifts. Accessible parking.
Davison Orchard is a tradition for our family. They have something for everyone and it gets a little better each year. Make sure you dress for farm, it can be a little muddy if you want to explore the pumpkin patch and visit the animals. They have the most adorable little cafe with really nice seasonal meals and snacks and HOT DRINKS!! We bring any thanksgiving guests from out of town to the orchard for a day, it's just a treasure here in the Okanagan.
This place is my fall go to. Love going in September to pick apples and October for pumpkins. The food is amazing
It's always great to go there. Good fruit, good veggies and good vibe!
Don't miss this place if driving through the north Okanagan. Open all year, with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables in season. The aroma of fresh baking will make your mouth water. Their varied selections of cookies, tarts, buns, and other treats will have you pulling your wallet out of your jeans more than once.
the staff at Davison Orchard are very professional and help to offer a enjoyable experience. Clear instructions are given from the time you drive in and get directed to parking, to taking the tractor train and picking pumpkins. The food and general environment are great for kids and adults.
(Moms of little kids, skip to the end) We love coming here. It's a great place to bring your little kids and have a bite, the local produce is really great, all of their food they make is really good (if you want to bring a jar of something home as a gift from the okanagan, this is the place), the knick knacks are nice, you can pay to have a ride on the tractor train, there is SO MUCH about this place that I love. The APPLE JUICE! The CARAMEL APPLES! The PIES! I hate making pie crust, so sometimes I will buy some of their frozen pie crusts and dough balls. Did I mention the new barn where the kids can pet and feed the animals? It's great. It's not cheap here, but it's doable. They work hard to make sure you get a good product for the price. Okay, moms of littles: if you are having one of those days where you TOTALLY GET why some animals eat their young, just come. Get a coffee and a treat, buy them a smiley cookie on a stick, and sit on the patio or the grass eating pie while they run around playing with the tractors and the tire horse and slide down the barn slide. Odds are by the end of your coffee you will all feel a lot better.
Great farm, remnant of the agricultural history of the Okanagan Valley. Friendly staff and fantastic apple juice (the real deal). I think I'm addicted to the apple juice!
Everyone is really friendly and helpful. Great produce! All the baked goods are yummy. Some of the prices can be a little high...but mostly great! Also gets busy quick!
Plenty for kids to do. Big store full of nic-nacs, preserves, country fare. Delicious fresh baked goods and some frozen to bake at home. Tractor train rides.
Great place to being young children.
This is a great place for the family! And their apple juice Slurpee is amazing! Would not recommend the farm tour for restless toddlers but everything else is fantastic.
An amazing experience for everyone, young and old. Delicious baked goods and specialty pies, souvenirs, and more. Amazing farm theme playground for kids.
Great labels. Nice, kind, and loving staff. Very clean fields. Hardly any kind of mess. There is not fruits or vegetables laying around. It is a well taken care of place.
So much fall..... I love this place on a sunny fall day! The food.... the piles of pumpkins and squash.... The fall leaves.... the vegetables and Oh! the baking! This has become a favourite place for finding Thanksgiving extras .... a sauce or pickles..... or bags of apples to be made into special treats at home.... a little pricey perhaps but sooooo good.... and a ride on the pumpkin train makes it perfect!
Sad to say but Davison Orchards has just become another Dollar Store. The time when you could purchase the highest quality of produce, beets, bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, and so on and so forth is gone probably for good. We visited the venue today, July 20, 2017, just found a box of zucchini, white potatoes, peaches and apricots; that was about it. No more U-Pick, just a huge kind of Dollar Store with products probably manufactured in China. Another traditional family business swallowed by greed associated to the wrong business strategy.
Fun place for the kids with tractor train rides along the farm; tasty fruit and produce; a nice cafe to chill; beautiful views of the valley.
Very cool place to checkout on a cloudy day! Bakery is great and the views from the patio are pretty.
Absolutely must visit if you are driving to Calgary or Vancouver. Fresh fruits, freshly baked items, fruit pickings, fun for kids and you can relax as well. What more you can ask
I want to live next door! I speak about this place at least once a month. I have told many people that it is a must visit. The food is absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious!
Family friendly with play structures, animals, and a great marketplace with produce, baked goods, and lots of other items. The apple cider donuts are fantastic.
You must come!!! This place is soooo good! Food is great!Don't miss the pie!
Best apple juice and slushies on the planet by FAR! A wonderful place to visit with kids.
Nice view , cute place for kids to run around. Amazing apple pie, and apple juice is fresh. They have petting area . The food is great and people are friendly. The view to eat is magnificent. At the bottom of the hill there is a honey factory it is great
Great place to take visitors and family alike! Family run and great hospitality, we hold our annual pumpkin fest day up here and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!
Love this place. We have had a seasons pass since they started offering it. Great for the kids and the food at Aunt Mae's is always incredible.
This place is so fun to visit!!! They have a wagon ride around the property that is worth the price if the ticket. They tell you about the different fruits and vegetables they grow, let you get out and take a look at things, etc. Both times we’ve done this the kids have loved it and I’ve lived the information and great view. The general store is filled with fantastic items, fresh food and their incredible homemade apple juice, a must try... so is the apple juice slushy, wow!
Great to spend time in the outdoors, feeling safe with most people wearing masks and good social distancing layout.
We had a wonderful time, very beautiful and peaceful when we sat outside to eat our ice cream. Fantastic idea! Thanks to everyone who works there!!
What a great experience! Every trip to Vernon should include a visit to this attraction. There is a nice old town setting and tons of good food to enjoy. They have local preserves, ice cream and all kinds of treats. We took home fresh apples, nick-nacks and enjoyed the food. There is something here for everyone to enjoy. Bring your family for the afternoon.
Make sure you visit this place when you are in vernon U will fall in love in this place Food, playground for kids, all angle are perfect for pictorial. Make sure you try cherry cake.. Love this place i will be back again
Best spot in town
A nice place to stop for families with young kids
Beautiful location, great pumpkin selection, and the cafe workers/baristas were excellent. Maybe there were wayfinding signs but we could not see them; the layout was a bit confusing, and the one sign I did find pointed to nowhere ahaha. We figured things out eventually and had a good time once we got situated. Chose two phenomenal pumpkins and left feeling real chuffed overall. ????????????
Nice environment and lots of fruits and veggies
Great place for the kids to hang out and play. Everything but the tour is free so that's swell. The price of produce is high though, so go to more out of the way stands for better prices.
What a great place! Playground, petting farm (goats, horses, chickens, pigs), fruits and veggies, cafe, tractor tours! What doesn't this place have? So amazing!
Great in season fruit selection. But don't forget an apple slushy. Kids and the spouse love the in house bakery. Ice Cream, and very family friendly. Its like visiting an old family friend each time.
Wonderful place to visit if you are ever in Vernon. Fun for kiddies and everyone in the family. Dogs allowed on leash in outside areas. Market and bakery inside selling tons of delicious jams, syrups, bbq rubs, pies, pastries from the orchard. You have to get the cold pressed apple juice, its the best!!! You will be hooked!!
I used to really enjoy this place and have visited for many years but after being physically shoved out of the way by one of your staff because I took too long to unload from the pumpkin ride I won’t come back. I sent an email to the staff supervisor whom did absolutely nothing to rectify the incident. Shame on you for tolerating that sort of behavior which would never be allowed at any of the workplaces I’ve worked for.
Fun place to bring the entire family. They have apple picking and lots of fresh baked goods, fresh presed apple juice, fruits and veggies.
A beautiful stop with something for each family member. Very colourful background...nice for some sharp photos. They've recently redone the animal shelters in the back. Nice to see all the families out this fall morning. Truly wheelchair accessible restrooms which is nice.
Great experience. The icecream is amazing They even have a family room with real change tables and a place to nurse - very appreciated.
Every kind of jam, butter, or sauce imaginable. Also have animals you can feed, fun apple orchard tours, adorable decorations (especially in the fall) and tons of fun stuff for kids.
Very kid friendly location. Nice shops and an amazing bakery. The cinnamon buns were the best I eat in Canada! Yummi!
A must stop for families! We LOVE Davison Orchards. There's so many fun places to play - hay bales, slides, barns, tractors, tires, and more. Plus there's the animals you can watch and feed - donkeys, goats, sheep, horses, and birds. There's tractor rides, a gift shop, and the best little Cafe. It's so perfect for a couple of fun hours at the farm. Highly recommend!!!
Great place to visit. You can take a very informative your of the orchard where they take the time to explain the how and why they grow their crops the way they do. Even the gift shop staff are very friendly and approachable. They take the time to explain things. The berry ice cream was decicious. They also have a kids play area and a petting zoo.
So many fun in here !! Not for only kids!! Adults also can have a lot of fun !!
Lots of fun for the kids!
Great farm with lots to do from feeding the animals to picking fruit, to hitting up the great gift shop as well as fresh produce! Definatley worth stopping by and a great place to take the kids.
Came here with my family. Fantastic value for your money. Fresh produce, farm tour with excellent guide, cafe food delicious and fresh and very well taken care of landscaping. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.
Cute, fun, family friendly. Bring $$$ for tractor rides, Upick apples and all sorts of amazing delights in their market area. Petting zoo and large kids playground area, lots of parking too
What a great place to visit. My Son and my Grandson took me to this fabulous place. The entrance is walking through the Pumpkin Castle. We took the tractor tour, picked apples, then after the ride, shopped for apple juice and visited the play area. I've never seen so many varieties of apples and other fruits and veggies in one place. I had such a nice interesting day.
A real local gem. Delicious baking. Great local produce for a good price. Incredible views and atmosphere.
One of the best places to visit in the fall. They do such a great job to create an amazing family experience. Great selection of fresh produce and farm store items. Lots of activities and things to see and do. Interact with the farm animals, go for a tractor ride and grab a candied apple. Plan on spending a few hours here with the family!
We have fun here every time we go.. Got some amazing thing to see and lots of stuff to learn.. Apple juice is delicious my kids favorite.
Quaint and charming without feeling contrived. The market shop is big and has tons of beautiful gift a d decor items. Their cherry salsa is out of this world!!!
It is very nice place. You can pick your apple and enjoy the “ideal” farm life. All staff was very friendly and helpful. Apples were delicious.
We went on a whim and boy did it pay off. Wonderful place for a family outing. We had an Applanche from cafe and it's probably the best slushy I've ever had. We took the tractor tour and our 5yr old was elated to pick her own apples. The honeycrisp apple in unbelievable.
Awesome place! Great family fun!
My friend and I were travelling from Revelstoke to Kelowna and originally stopped here to pick apples, unfortunetly we missed apple picking season, but we were just in time for PUMPKIN season! I was elated about this. They seem to have a lot to do if you have kids, so I believe it would be a great place for families to visit. My friend and I had a great time visiting the animals and checking out their gorgeous store with goods made on site. I ended up getting some BBQ sauce, cheese, jam, scones, apple juice, and of course pumpkins! They also had blue and pink naturally grown pumpkins which I had never seen before! Overall, great fall activity, would recommend. Just go earlier than October if you want to pick apples ;)
Fantastic little tourist stop. Delicious fresh produce as well as other niceties.
Been here a few times and it always had the very best apple juice I've tasted. It seems to have become extremely popular and they have adjusted the prices "accordingly". It was way to crowded this last time and the apple juice was a shadow of it's former self. I will not be going back as it is overpriced and overcrowded.
These folks have everything you could need to make a place feel like home. From beautiful art and cute trinkets to nutritious, delicious local food, Davison's is a delight!
We visit Davison Orchards a few times a year. Our daughter loves the tractor ride and all the animals. We love the Aurora Gala apples!
This is a great little spot to stop. Excellent produce and fruit available throughout the season. Small petting zoo where you can feed the goats and pigs. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Washrooms are clean and relitively well kept. The views of the surrounding area are nice from the farm parking lot.
Lovely place ???? children and dog friendly, cafe, produce, icecream, tracker tours, apple picking and tours. Friendly helpful staff.
Absolutely love this place! One of the reasons we keep returning to Vernon. We visit at least 3 times per trip, our kids love the play area (free) , feeding the farm animals (25¢)and trying the delicious food, baked goods and the most amazing apple juice (cold pressed) we've ever had. It is my just to sit and relax, have a meal and let the kids run. They also offer an orchard tour (tractor train) and u pick later in the summer / early fall for apples and pumpkins. A great place for family fun and not over priced at all.
Lots to do for little kiddos, for free. We chose to go on the paid tractor train tour and it was well worth it! Our guide was part of the Davison family and was incredibly knowledgeable. He was also AMAZING with all of the kids on the tour. We stopped and picked a cob of corn and ate it right there in the field. Such a great experience. Lunch at the coffee shop was fantastic. The apple slushies were fantastic!
Absolutely Beautiful Farm in Vernon! Local produce and goods. Something for everyone to enjoy!!
This isn't your typical fruit stand, you can have breakfast lunch, there is a large store full of amazing food and souvenirs, there are great photo ops with old fashioned tractors and equipment and even a tractor train to take the kids on. In the fall he apples are amazing with types you have never heard of, Sinta is my favourite
It's a good place to chill out for an afternoon. They've got delicious snacks, and interesting souvenirs. Some local produce and products. Their cold pressed apple juice is one of the best things available.
Great place for any ages, whether you are a local or a visitor. Close to town and includes free parking, petting zoo, locally made products, gorgeous shopping and a lovely outdoor cafe. Even a little wagon ride out to the orchards to learn more about the fresh fruit that they grow onsite.
What a great place to see and visit. We been in Vernon from our trip from Vancouver with two toddlers and they just loved this place. Big playground behind store for the, easy parking on the front. We love their cold press apple juice. Definitely place to visit if in Vernon.
Absolutely love this orchard! Excellent variety of food. Gorgeous scenery! A must visit.
Davison Orchards is a great place to take the family for a fun trip to the farm. They have a great farm shop with local produce from their Orchard as well as from other local farms. You can enjoy a yummy apple treat from their cafe whilst the kids play on the playground. You can also enjoy a farm tour or during the right season you can pick your own apples or pumpkins. A fun local place to visit.
Amazing bakery, decorations for fall were so awesome, just such a great place to take a family! So much to see and do!
Excellent place for families, kids can run around in the play areas and see the sheep and goats and birds, cute shopping area with all of their own jams, jellies and pies. Put this on your list of things to do
You can even just come here to drink apple juice and eat ice cream.
Amazing place, fresh fruits and veggies. Nice decoration. Good for families
Beautiful here! The fall time will be the most active at this place, with making apple juice in progress. There was a kids playground. Animals. A place to eat. Samples of items to buy. Delicious apple juice for sale. You can also watch them work in the kitchen, making pies and such.
Fantastic family run venue that's kid friendly, family fun and educational. I learned a lot from interactions with each member of the Davison team. Ice cream and pies were a hit along with the farm tour experience. Nice to see that there are still operations that support educational groups and choose to remain local. Very creative interactive and engaging kids areas. A pleasure to have visited and we hope to visit again!
Very nice farm and fruit company. A little pricey on some items, however a lot of it is well made and of good quality ingredients. They also have a nice train ride through the farm/orchard
The real BIG Apple. I’m obsessed with apples so this place was my perfect place on earth. Apples are absolutely delicious and also very cheap and fresh, best I have ever tasted. Highly recommended to pay 7 bucks for the tractor tour, learn some farming knowledge and I got to pick my first ever Silken! Awesome local ran family place, the home comfort and farm local made treats in the food markets are incredible.

It's super nice but everything is kind of overpriced but still good ????
Great farm to visit, my family and I loved the produce, treats and homemade pies! We will return for sure!
Excellent place for kids, all food is fresh and delicious, tractor tour was great
So worth the time to visit this place. Especially with your family. Good food. Good products. Beautiful views. Just watch out for the goat with shifty eyes... H'ell getcha
A kids’ outdoor wonderland plus appleanches (apple slushies)! Our boys didn’t want to leave; there was so much to see and do. Our family faves were the tractor tour through the orchards and the large play area behind the main buildings, especially the tree house & duck races. P.S. The mini pies & cheese dill scones were delicious.
It's hard to resist buying everything I this place. It all looks soo good! We are bringing back a bunch of produce and treats today!
Davison Orchards is on of the high lights of Vernon. Wonderful place to take your family and guests. There is something for everyone. Wonderful lunch menu with great homemade soups. Try their great home made pies.
Went with the whole family, aged 10 to 82 and everyone enjoyed it. Dad was especially interested in the orchard tour, we found some fun things in the gift shop and the petting barn was a big hit with everyone. P. S. The sheep just want food but some of the goats are really affectionate and close their eyes when you scratch their ears. ????
Awesome place! Never had a bad experience here! I absolutely adored there cheese tasting they held here a couple years ago! You could test as much cheese as you wanted all for free! So much fun! Lovely place to get away with friends in the fall time and grab a drink and chat on sunny days
A great place for the kids to run around and pick a few apples! Great place! We go every year to pick our pumpkins as well. Don't forget to pick yourself up some of those apple cinnamon donuts, delicious!
Home made apple, peach etc pies by the slice or whole pie and healthy food. Set in a working orchard. Several jams & fruit availabe.
What a fantastic visit to a historic locale. The staff was incredibly friendly, everything was very clean and the prices and quality at the market made me buy way more than I intended. I'll definitely be back.
Great place for the family lots to do yummy food and a great store full of gift ideas and local produce. My daughters love the tours so they can see how everything changes throughout the year. Goats and other animals to feed and a great play area.
This place is definitely a scenic spot. I recommend for a quick visit that includes touring the farm and eating at the cafe, the homemade apple juice and apple sauce are incredible. We bought an apple pie to take home and it did not disappoint. The farm is picture perfect for a lovely fall backdrop
Well worth the drive! My boys loved the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch, the farm animals, all the playground equipment and the sandboxes. We will definitely be going back!
Something for everyone ❤ we always enjoy it here!
Great spot to visit for tourists and locals alike. Thoughtful layout, clever displays, well organized and with helpful friendly staff. Lots of activities for the kids. Coffee and pastries at the Farmhouse Cafe (tasty apple cheddar scones), fruits and preserves in the country store. They should win an award for their Thanksgiving displays and decorating.
This orchard has a great petting zoo area. The taste testing was great. The fruit is amazing! Just mad
Nice farm with well coming staff, wide variety of apples
This place is a must-go-to if you’re in the Vernon area. I explored Davidsons in the spring, it seemed a bit early by they had a ton of kitchen helper items, lots of sauces, and bbq prep spices to get you started for the season. Found a cute bamboo coffee mug for a co-workers birthday. In their freezer section they had chicken pot pies and a selection of frozen berry pies that looked delicious. They also have a bakery that mades some delicious cinnamon buns and scones. Great place for kids as well, they have a few goats out back that you can pet and feed. During the harvest season they have a lot of fresh veggies and fruits for sale.
Great place to come if you kids are driving you nuts and you need to kill some energy. Just let them go nuts in the giant sandbox with the old truck. We also did the tractor orchard tour. Tour guide was great and friendly, very welcoming and has a great knowledge of the Vernon Valley.
Amazing pies, great produce, and the BEST apple juice. They also have a gift shop full of all sorts of goodies, a cafe/bakery with indoor and outdoor seating (with a great view of the valley below), ice cream, a petting zoo, playground for kids, tractor tours through the orchards, and probably lots I don't know about. This place has grown from a simple family orchard to a real destination.
Went for some apple juice and ended buying popcorn - veggies - fruits - jam and sausages. Everything is delicious and the shop so lovely.
Real fruit ice cream, fun gifts/ produce /treats store. Clean. Farm animals at the back that you can pet and feed. Nice area to hang out. Haven't tried the apple juice yet but bought a big jug for less than $4.
Seems like a great place for little kids, my older boys didn't really enjoy themselves. Fruit prices were pretty high as well.
One of the best places in town. Fun for the whole family from the petting zoo to the playgrounds to the tractor rides. Excellent food, fun kitschy store, amazing fruit, unreal pie, even fudge!! Tours and animals and photo ops abound.
Really great place to visit. Funny way we found it though. It all started with a web search about a free apple I received in Salmon Arm. Really glad I am inquisitive and can't wait to go back!!
Fruit was a little more expensive than other places we visited. The shop was quaint. The best thing about the place was the view.
Love going every year and discovering new finds and treats !! My daughter loves playing all around the fun areas !!
Really great stop whether you're a local or passing through as a tourist. There is something for the kids and adults, a great little tour on a tractor train, a produce market, a bakery, store, and even a cafe. Staff were all super kind and we were glad we spent a couple of hours there on our vacation. The drinks and food are excellent, a little pricey, but definitely worth it for the experience. They also do some great charity work worth learning about and supporting.
Super fun experience! Highly recommend.
Lots of locally grown foods and treats made in house. A great outing for families and friends in the summer or fall. Very busy location during peak times.
Decided to try something different for Canada day since the parks can get crazy!! We brought our 3 young kids 7 and twins 5. They had a super fun time playing in the simple but fun playgrounds, the kids had fun petting the goats, we went on a tractor tour through the orchards and learned cool stuff about the history of the Davison orchards and how it is still family run and the grandfather still works in the orchard and lives right on site in their humble home! Had a delicious lunch at Aunty Mary's cafe the cherry pie was amazing!!!! It was a really fun and relaxing way to spend Canada day with our little family! Highly recommend!!! Also lots of yummy things at the market like scones and fudge!!
Amazing place, lots of fun for kids. The best ice cream, with real fruit. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
What a fun place! We always take our our of town guests there! Fresh produce of all kinds, a very eclectic gift shop, with tasters of many products. And a comprehensive list of ingredients of all their baked goods, so I was able to purchase something suitable for a very allergic friend. Great little cafe for a lunch or snack.
Had a great time with the family doing some pumpkin picking in the orchards. Quality of food and everything is quite nice and priced quite fairly for quality you receive. Large grounds and various things for children to do. If in the area and the weather is in your favor worth checking out and enjoying an afternoon.
Such a cute place, many photo opportunities and animals to see. Lots of seating for eating/drinking and relaxing. The appleanche is so refreshing and everything in the shops either look cute or delicious, I wanted to buy it all! I suggest buying all the Apple juice, it's delicious. I brought 1 home and it wasn't enough!
Tomatoes, onions, cherries, peaches and now corn! All very delicious and fresh from the farm. So lucky to live only 10 minutes away. My favourite are apples. I have a bit of a wait for Granny Smith but lots of great baking and eating coming. Already made apple sauce with their Tranparent apples. So important to shop local especially this year with the fires, drought and hot weather.
Davison is a wonderful experience for the whole family. Great fresh onsite bakery ... gift shop ... farm animal petting zoo ...and awesome fresh fruit abd nuch more. You'll want ti vusit at least twice every season
Always excellent! Family fun operation... Free...
Great place for the kids. Lots of stuff for them to do. You can feed the animals and get a tractor pulled tour of the orchards
This place was so amazing to see with my little girls close to Halloween!! We went on a tractor wagon ride and ate caramel apples and apple pie and took a bunch of baking home with us that they do at the farm... All the workers were super friendly and did i mention a play ground!!! Ya Hay Bails for the kids to climb on and a chicken coop barn type thing that the kids played in and on. What a great day we had at Davidson's Orchards. Take ur family there for food and fun
Davison Orchards is a must visit if you haven't been. I do wish they offered a local discount of some nature, because the place is extremely expensive, but it is a great place to take your family and kids. The apple juice is out of this world, however i can't justify paying $6 for a jug of it. So i treat myself a couple times throughout the year, but that is about it.
Friendly staff and great selection on pumpkins. Always fun to go.
What a great stop. So much fun for families. Everything screams fresh and wholesome. Try the ice cream it's fantastic.
Cute little farm. Lots for kids to do, including a couple of playgrounds, animals to feed and pet, and a tractor ride! Three 8 year-olds were allowed to go on the tour on their own, which was great and allowed the grown ups a break. Store and cafe weren't inexpensive, but the drinks and pastries were tasty. The kids enjoyed the fresh fruit iced cream.
Amazing food. Amazing little animals in the back and a ton to look at and buy. It was a hot sunny day when we went , we had a nice sandwich and ice coffee looking out to the orchard. I recommend this for anyone passing through. What a gem.
Love this place. It's free to visit. Minutes away from the town. They have a train ride for a fee which will take you into their apple fields. Had a small cafe you can get a light meal. Great selection of farm produce. So fresh. Got apple tomatoes cheese jam and ice cream and more. Worth the visit. My kids loved it as they had a play area and farms animals. Love this place and will come again.
Great place that offers a big variety of activities for all ages. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I tried their chilli at the cafe and it was delicious. Also, their apple juice is something ???? Lots of outside seating with a fantastic view of the valley. Definitely recommend! I Will visit again!
This place is I great way tontake a drive and get away for the afternoon, lots to see and buy and eat!
The aesthetic of the place was amazing. Theres a bunch of delicious fresh fruit and homemade products that you can buy from the store.
Great entertainment for the whole family. Just wish the prices didn't continue to go up. Seems like they are targeting tourists that will pay the high prices instead of locals.
Unfortunately I have a very mixed review of this farm. Me and the kids I work with when on the tractor tour took and look around to petting zoo and played on the playground. That was all super awesome and the man that ran the apple tour was very accommodating to my kids 100’s of questions. I was very pleased with his patience. Then we went down to the market for a treat. The lady that was in the market at the till was very rude. Telling us we were causing issues in the store as the kids were trying to figure out what treat they wanted and I was by their sides helping them choose something they could afford and help them count their money. I was unimpressed with her service and lack of understanding that is the reason for the 3 stars. If you are having treats in your store you need to understand children will buy treats some times and some may not be the best at counting money or deciding. What this lady needs is alittle more compassion.
Great place to take visitors during Thanksgiving!!
Davison Orchards is a great family outing. This is an awesome place for people of all ages. There is a train where you can go on a tour and pick your own apples, a petting zoo, the market where they have a large selection of local products, home decor and delicious baked goods, a cafe where you can enjoy a light snack and a piece of homemade apple pie. I love going in the fall when all the pumpkins are ready!
This Family run business is a wonderful experience to be had for everyone from Families, to First Dates. We first came here in the summer of 2016, tried the apple juice, and loved it so much, we haven't stopped coming back since. The Apple Crumble pie is truly the best apple pie we have ever had in our lives (don't tell our grandmas we said so!) even the pie crust is so delicious you will be scraping your plate for every last morsel. Yes, the prices are high; but as with everything in life, you get what you pay for, and when you're serving arguably the best pie around, with local ingredients, in a family run establishment, the prices are more than fair.
Beautiful, out-of-the-busy-city countryside not too distant away from the city! Didn't really buy any products but the shop it's very beautifully laid out. They also had samples of their homemade jam/syrup. The price was rather expensive unfortunately, but their homemade products tasted super delicious. They also had like a backyard farm with a children-friendly playground where you could play around with their goats and some other animals I-don't-know-the-names-of lol. Do give this place a visit especially if it's in the summer—it's super family friendly and absolutely worth the visit!
Love all the jams and hot sauces! Thankfully for the staff's precautions. Quite disappointed at how many guest not wearing masks or keeping proper distance.
As with most family things in the Okanagan fun and expensive. Generally 3 or 4 hours spent when we go. Family of 5 and we eat there, rides and pumpkins spend about 80-90$ before buying anything at their store.
I was here with a Promotion tour bus in mid-September. The tour was way more interesting that I would ever have thought. The personal family pride, history and knowledge of their farm and the area shone through. We had a great tour and a wonderful lunch. The explanation of their water and energy history was most interesting.
Great place to buy local produce and bring the kids to play. Petting zoo area, tractor ride tours of the orchard and pumpkin patch. Great ice cream and baked goods.
Great spot for a get away with the kids (..or if you're like me, to find the kid in you!)! I got there just in time for a tractor ride tour of the farm & picking some apples. They've got lots for the kids to do with animals & parks. The shop is Amazing, great crafty & edible things in there! & don't forget the amazing staff & farm people! They sure work hard to ensure we have a good time!
An incredible outing. Take your time, enjoy it all.
Bring some quarters so you can feed the needy goats! Lots of fun stuff to do and see for both adults and children.
What a great place to take kids! We had a great time here, I wish there were more u-pick options in the summer though. Their play yard is great, make sure you have an apple slushie and pick up a jar of their peach salsa! My husband thinks their hot sauce is the best he's ever tasted as well, so we always stock up on our way through.
Great place to take the family . The orchard tour with the you pick fruit is a lot of fun. Lots of great locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Great place! Fantastic sandwiches and the pie is world class! Terrific views of Vernon
We went on a Sunday morning in October for the pumpkin patch and it was full of great stuff to do for the kids. Live music, an epic outdoor "farming" themed playground, petting zoo with very tamed and docile animals that were gentle with the kids. Lots of pumpkins, squash and gourds of huge variety. There was a BBQ, but patrons also can dine at the cafe if they're looking for healthier options or specialty coffees etc. I will definitely bring the family back here again.
Love coming here! A definite family fave! Good food, fun for the kids and overall a must see when visiting Vernon!
This is a great place to visit with the kids. Tons of interesting things to see and animals to pet. The food here is amazing (especially the pie). A must visit if ever in the Okanagan.
The store was better than expected with a lot of neat nick nacks and toys, and great quality food and of course produce. We weren't there to spend big, but tried some treats like fudge, a candy apple, and some of their apple juice. All good. The apple juice was a little bit mind blowingly good actually. Activities for kids were...ok. $4 for entry to the activity park, which isn't much, but our kids did everything pretty much once and that was it. And they are pretty into things like this. There was also a dead rabbit in one of the little pens (unless rabbits sleep with their eyes open and don't breathe)! I was going to tell someone, but before I knew it the place was bustling with people and kids and, well...I hope they didn't notice! We hopped on board a tractor train ride. Everyone else had bags purchased to pick your own apples... Not even sure if we were supposed to pay to ride, but the great farmer man welcomed us on board and tried to stuff our pockets with delicious apples. We bought a bag from the store after tasting them. On the ride, we were all in awe of the huge pumpkins getting ready for harvest events/picking. Seemed like a popular hangout for local mom's and preschool aged kids. I would come back, but mostly for the products they are selling.
We love visiting this place! Amazing coffee shop and place to buy trinkets, Farm rides, cute animals :-)
Had fun picking apples and shopping the market. The pumpkin pie is to die for. We go back every year :)
Place is in love for there fresh fruits and fresh juice ????. They have many different things to see, providing farm tours and looking for animals
Always love coming to the farm, their product selection is great and the cafe sandwiches are delicious.
We come a few times a year as a family but we love picking our pumpkins from their pumpkin patch and getting to ride thorough the farm.
i always enjoy my time here. there's an assorted gift shop, local groceries & baked items, coffee shop, animals to see & pet, playground for children. many sorts of fun things to do, the tours are relaxing. : )
Great place to take the family, catch a tractor train ride and get some apples for home consumption and baking, let the kids play in the large play area, pet and feed some animals. A good time.
Farm tour is fun and interesting, the market has delicious fruits and other fruit products with good prices. Nicely designed in a good layout. Animals were amazing to watch, pet, and feed. Didn't do the u-pick because at the time we went there only tomatoes and peppers were ready to be picked. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My only comment is to have different farm tours for adults and families. I didn't enjoy kids crying and the guide only talking to kids.
Great atmosphere and shops with activities for the kids, just a bit overpriced.
Your apple slushies are the best and omg that apple juice just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Fun place to check out if you are in Vernon or the surrounding area. Family orchard with lots of fruit, vegetables and baked goods (pies are delicious!). They also have a small "petting zoo" with some farm animals you can feed with the kids. A small market to walk through with lots unique goods (little bit pricy though). I believe they also have a train tour through the orchard. Small cafe on site has some good and drinks (the appleanche is awesome!). Go check it out!
I love this place so so much. It’s like when you go to the farm as a kid and have that pure feeling of joy? Well, this is it, I have never been happier to see a goat and go apple picking. Amazing staff, beautiful property, delicious food. 10000% recommended. Note: You MUST take the tractor tour around the orchard, trust me, it will become one of those fluffy, happy place memories.
Tons of fresh, local produce as well as baked products, jam and honey and such, even handmade arts and crafts available here. It's a great place to take kids to (I believe there's even a petting zoo somewhere, though I didn't check it out myself). Vintage look and feel, great old-timey vibes. They don't have EVERYTHING, though. E.g. I asked for eggs and they said they don't sell 'em.
Great for the kids. The tractor train ride was both fun and instructive. We liked how all the types of plants in the fields were clearly labeled so you could see which types of eg apples such as Ambrosia, Royal Gala etc. Peach and apple pies were both delicious. Plenty of animals to pet; you can buy some feed at the vending machines and give it to the animals as well. The main store was clean; it is always good to see employees sweeping floors and keeping the place tidy. Overall great value for the money.
A great experience for young and old, Davidson orchards is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. From homemade treats to fresh produce to tractor rides to the pumpkin patch, this is an activity that will leave you with warm happy feelings.
Great place to go with the family, or to meet friends for lunch... The seasonal produce is excellent, and the fudge/ice cream/preserves are the best!
A wonderful family fun day outing during the summer. The best pies ever. Train ride through the orchard and you get to pick your own Apple. Great out I g for everyone. Petting zoo.
Delish fruit, great baked good, fun place for kids, good parking, bring change to feed the goats!!!
Stopped here on our road trip. Really nice and clean place. Some little play areas and animals for the kids to enjoy at no charge . Took the tractor aka train ride (you have to pay) the staff could be a little more clear on ride times as with us and others there was some confusion regarding when the tour starts and the train leaves. The guy that gave the tour was really nice and did a good job. Last train ride is at 4pm. Lots of products but a bit pricey in my opinion.
Absolutely love this place. We are here many times throughout the summer for delicious homegrown fruits and veggies. Always got to make sure to get one of their iced Apple Juice drinks. We love seeing the animals and interacting with them. Great place for the whole family. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping by.
Loved this place. Got some fantastic jams & cold pressed apple juice in the store & good sandwiches, pie & coffee at the restaurant. We want to come back with our grandchildren so they can check out the kids play area.
A very good place to buy local fruit and so many other things. Lots of neat things to do for kids.
Great quality food, pretty good selection of local fruits and vegetables. Loved the farm animals, great for kids and adults alike! Little bit busy for our liking, and wouldve been nice if they had peas in the fruits and vegetable selection but overall glad we stopped in! Wonderful view as well!
They have the stuff your green cart full of pumpkins for $20 and man did we ever stuff it full haha. Two vwry large pumpkins and about 10 or more smaller ones. Definitely worth the 20. Highly recommended
Picked up a peach pie today and the crust was not completely cooked. The dough was gooey, the only part that was cooked was the edge of the pie.
Very good place. Prices were reasonable lots of jams, jellies, salsas all homemade. Apple slush was great
Great place for the kids to run around. Good coffee and nice baked goods!!
Love this place. The tractor ride is a must for the kids. The food is great and staff amazing.
They always have great produce and baked goods and jams i could go on and on. But you need to see it for yourself.
Great place to take the kids as there is an area with baby farm animals and a large play area as well. Also there is an hourly tractor train for a trip around the orchard. There are home made foods for breakfast or lunch and also ice cream and product goods made with the fruits and vegetables grown at the orchard.
Awesome family farm business with baked goods and fresh fruits and veggies. Such a nice treat and gem in Vernon. Bring your kids around for tours and learn about the fruit trees.
Great food and best view of the Vernon's valley.
Baked this frozen peach pie according to the box directions and it came out perfect. The crust was light and crumbly and the peaches were soft and sweet. A one of a kind peach pie and a perfect summer dessert!
Definitely has become a tourist trap and has lost pretty much all the wholesomeness that it used to have. Certain recipes have changed for the worse and feel less homemade. The restaurant there has very little options and was very expensive for being like a 5/10. Long lines, screaming kids, empty wallets.
We absolutely loved it here! The kids had a blast and the tractor ride was very informative. The pie is amazing, and after drinking the homemade apple juice, we don't want store bought juice again. Beautiful place, and we highly recommend it.
There is lots todo here at the orchards. It's great place for families or on your own. The food is so good and well priced. They have a good selection of apples, pumpkins and other fall things. The staff are super friendly and always nice. We have been a few years now and its always so much fun.
Wonderful place to take little ones or your out-of-town guests relaxing coffee treats fruits and vegetables to purchas. Try a tractor ride they call the train ride through the orchard where you can stop and pick your own apples off the tree when in season
It was great just love it there????????❤️
This is one of our favourite must-stop spots when we are in Vernon. The farm market and bakery are awesome (the apple crate berry pie is the best bought pie I've had), and the restaurant is great too. Even better for kids are the small petting farm area, tractor rides and two play areas!
We love their apple juice and pastries. Definitely one of the things you should go when visiting Vernon.
One of the best places in the Okanagan Valley to take a family. Cannot leave there without a pie or some wonderful fresh bread.
Love coming here every time we visit the area! Great and unique inventory that you can't find anywhere else. Oh, and the pie is delicious!!! Awesome little area in the back for kids to play and visit their animals.
Great experience. Took the tractor tour out to the orchards. They have a wonderful setup with lots of gift ideas as well as a wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables.
Awesome place to spend the day with the family. Staff is friendly and the area is very clean! Would recommend to anybody looking to spend a weekend in Vernon
Wow! Talk about an orchard! The kids could run wild for days and you can enjoy the world's best apple pie.
A fabulous family friendly place. Activities for everyone and the food - deliciously homemade. Great selection of gifts and food in the shop. We love this place!
One of my favorite places in Vernon to go!
We visited in September and LOVED the trolly tour, the market and all the wonderful things for kids... Animals, old trucks and tractors, things to climb on, etc.
I come here every time we visit vernon usually twice! Great samples and products and great fruit! Also love their salsa ranch dip mix I get at least 7 a year ???????? kids can play on the playground or feed the animals and I can shop and have lunch and watch them. So much fun!!
We love this very special place, in all seasons. The food is top notch and the location is beautiful. Davison Orchards is our favorite spot in Vernon.
Great place to go and sight see, pet some animals, and hangout in the park. Prices are a bit high in the shops but quality is sublime.
Such a fun day trip! Come for the apple juice, stay to see the animals and attractions.
Wanted apples for making apple sauce ????. They had great looking apples with a large selection of different kinds. And pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Wife loves the pie dough. Their ???? pies togo are awesome.
Awesome place!! Go on a sunny day and take advantage of all the outdoor activities... there is so much for the kids to explore.
Awesome place! So friendly! Apple juice and pies are SO delicious! The tour was great! And excellent selection of gifts and goodies!
A beautiful place to take a walk at not to mention they have the best apple juice! Great BBQ sauces and lots more! Their apples are to die for and you can easily spend an hour or more there.
Always a great place to take the grandkids...they have some new improvements since we have been there last . One being a great coffee shop ..so maybe a visit with out the grandkids as well...lol
We enjoy visiting Davison Orchard each season of the year for last several years. We have seen the operation grown from a small orchard and tiny little store to today with larger variety orchard and bigger store. I proud to support the local multi-generational family run business that has kept its business values, customer service and quality of the products the same and/or better.
Great little tour and u-pick of the freshest apples! Right off the tree - so good! Very good food at the cafe. Good products to buy - we always get fresh apple juice.
Fresh picked cherries 10lbs/$39.99, super sweet!!! 25¢/a handful of feed for the lively goats. Sand playgrounds n tree houses for the little ones, they love it.
Great fruit and produce. Corn is excellent. Cherries were wonderful. Apple juice is tasty.
Wonderful family environment. Amazing boutique, baked goods, fresh produce, juice and sandwiches.
We had a great time feeding the animals (which are housed in large, clean enclosures) and playing at the playground. Lots of fresh produce and baking at the store. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Great for families, lovely in fall and summer, very hilly so bring you muscle if you need a stroller for younger children and babies!
Loved the produce and animals and pie and beautiful gardens
Always a local gem. Great free activities for children. Tours on the tractor train are memorable. Fresh produce, yummy jams & more! A generational farm
Great for kids. Also great without kids. The quality of produce is amazing. The apple juice is a must try.
Ok to be fair -- best peach pie I ever had-????????????2thumbs up for the peach pie --however -. Customer service was horrible-- the workers were extremely rude and made me feel suspect -- in a romper on a hot day --- not nice manners ladies
Davison has quickly become one of my regular visits whether it's for fresh fruits and vegetables or just a quick stop for some ice cream.
We took our 2yo to here and he loved every minute of it.His highlight was the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch to pick his own pumpkin..Highly recommend it..
I loved the pie and sandwiches that they made from the scratch here. I couldn’t help myself with one serving
Always love coming here! New set up makes purchasing fruit and veggies a lot easier!
This was a fun place with fresh fruit and ice cream the only issue was when we were there it was very hot and it really smelled like they had a sewer leak somewhere close to the visitor area. I have smelled a few farms in my life and this was definitely more sewer then manure. I would recommend since I know this is likely just a passing issue and everything else was good but boy howdy that was ripe
The apple train conductor was so cheery and patient with all who travelled with him. The cafe attendants were also cheery even with me over correcting on the price...she was right and I was wrong. You have WONDERFUL staff! The pie and ice cream were excellent. Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon. God bless you all.
Great atmosphere lots for little kids to do. Enjoyable and informative tractor ride thorough the orchard. Delicious fruit apple juice and preserves in the market. Amazing soup sandwiches pie and pure apple slushies in the cafe. We planned part of our vacation to be in Vernon just so we could come back to this place!
I love them so much! I love going there with my family. Their food is delicious. I like getting their pie, apple cider, cookies and caramel apples. The people that work there are so nice as well.
A staple when visiting Vernon for our family, always a really fun adventure. The recent upgrades to the petting farm and playground for the kids was excellent. We've done the tour, as well, and enjoyed the educational experience. The produce and baked goods are all wonderful and fresh, but you will pay a premium here.
Nice place to visit on holiday
Such a great placeto visit. Delicious fresh fruit, veggies, preserves and gifts. Great place for families.
We stopped in for the first time on our way through town and I was extremely impressed. Like a old west village front mixed with a petting farm. It was awesome. A couple of playgrounds for kids, ice cream shop, fresh orchard gifts, tours, and you can pet goats. It was pretty cool, we will be back
Davisons orchard is always such a great time. We love the many different kinds of apples and that you get to pick them yourselves, as well as the pumpkins theres just so much to do for the whole family and the staff are always so lovely!!
We enjoy visiting Davidson's usually with visitors in tow. Recently we had very nice light lunch before wandering through the shop. We always seem to find a unique item that someone decides we must buy. Love the branded sauces and their pies.
This place must try for anyone visiting Vernon. Everyone from kids to adults will find something interesting at this place. Fresh fruits and juice or home decor. Everything was good!
Fantastic place! The play grounds are well thought out, the facility is extremely clean and well maintained, and there is something for everyone. My kids love the orchard... especially the cafe :-)
Just AMAZING. The Apple juice is to die for and I love the product “Mums darn hot sauce”! I wish I could buy these year round!
So fun! Mostly great for kids, but has some of the best apples around (honeycrisps are unreal and huge there!) so we go regularly. Gift shop is pretty pricey, which is the only drawback, but we love it regardless ????
Nice place. Good fruits and vegetables. Excellent options for kids to play. Petting zoo and sand box. My kids had a good time. Check on the tour timings before you go as it is not available daily.
Great place for the kids they had a awesome time. And the staff was nice and friendly
Davison has been the place to go each spring and fall to mark the change in seasons! The farm has grown and changed since I began going as a young child, but the wonderful culture and beauty in the farm life has remained.
Always a pleasure to visit this little gem in our city. Always see smiling faces, yes even if they have a mask on. It's just a warm feeling evrytime, we are very grateful for this family run, amazing little gem ❤
Great place to take the kids and get some fresh fruit and other goodies from the market.
Great for the kids as well, nice park for them with a bit of a petting zoo as well. Great fresh and local fruit
Wow what a place! Had a lovely Monday morning visit and everything was open and plenty of great staff for great service. Lots to see and do and superb apple juice, will come back!
This is a very good place. The ice cream is the very best ice cream. There are a lot of animals such as horses, pigs, goats and chickens. I couldn't touch them because a barricade blocked me from them. However, this wasn't disappointing because in Japan there is the same type of barricade preventing you from touching the animals. My favorite part was the ice cream.
Awesome spot for kids. Lots of parks to play on, animals to see, and things for kids to do. Kids really liked the train ride and being able to pick their own corn cob.
It's a fun place to visit especially if you have children. Lots to see and do. Market is great!
View is great, over looks Vernon. Good selection of baked goods and home made James and spread and crafts. Lots of parking and room to wander and relax.
Having lunch at the Davison Farmhouse Café on site was such a treat. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious! The peach-and-white-chocolate scone I got was heavenly. My husband had the pie, which was also perfection. Trying the apple juice is a must! Our visit there was one of the major highlights of our trip to B.C. this summer (Aug 2019). Thank you, Davison Orchards.
Great family friendly place with playground and tours.
Best place for fresh and delicious apple juice! The pies are also to die for. Great for a pit stop to check out some jams, take a train tour, and petting zoo.
Davison Farms was a pleasure to fundraise with. We all enjoyed our apples and we look forward to running this fundraiser again in the future.
Great fresh fruits and breads made daily. Stop and have a sandwich and a piece of pie in their small restaurant. Worth the time to visit.
Simply an amazing place to get fresh Okanagan fruit (cherries, peaches, nectarines, etc.) We were told u-pick was not an option to n yet, as fruits were not in harvest (mid July). However, the petting zoo (we saw chickens, goats, and sheep), sandbox with toys, and tractor rides are inviting for the whole family. A separate cafe serves fresh baked goods, making it impossible to walk out with just a handful of fruit. Top it off with a full line of juices, jams, and treats and we can see why people come by the bus load... the owners got everything right and has put the money back into the business, resulting in a very polished retail look. To clarify someone else's post, this orchard is in Vernon (on the way to Kelowna if you are taking 97 south.)
Fun place for the family!! Great products, produce, lots of things for kids to do, great decor and friendly staff. Lobe going there every time I am in Vernon.
Great place..I'm concern about how packed it was when we were there the pther day. There were signs of social distancing but people weren't really following it. There were no signs or tapes though on how far people should distance themselves at the line ups. I think there should be a responsibility in the part of the business owners to be strict about telling people to wear masks and do social distancing but I guess they are getting people and it's good for the business.
We had been going to this place for many years. We found that their prices are going up every year. Produce is 3-4 times market price with less and less variety. Good for little kids as they have petting barn and a lil orchard tour.
Such a fun place for families and anyone who likes this kind of attraction. I take my toddler there regularly to visit the animals and then she can play while I eat amazing pie. On warm days their ice cream is unreal.
Was beautiful. I had some excellent food and the place has a very fun family feel.
Lots of fun for the whole family. Fresh vegetables, pie and ice cream. They have play grounds in front and around back. The animals are around back too.
This place is such a fun place to spend an afternoon. Lots of great free play areas for the kids and a nice market for the adults. September they have apple picking weekends which are also so fun.
Lovely country store with produce etc. Had tomato soup and biscuit at the cafe. Friendly staff and delicious food.
Fantastic family friendly Orchard Farm! LOTS of variety to see, do & shop from fruits, veggies, baking, knick knacks etc. Hats off to Davidon Orchards how VERY well run during COVID. We never knew so many varieties of apples & pumpkins existed! Compliments from a Ukrainian-Polish family on their frozen made AWESOME Vegetarian Dairy-Free Borscht! Next year we'll be buying a bunch to bring home to Kelowna! Lastly their Apple Cider Cinnamon Doughnuts are heaven with a coffee! Many thanks!!!
Their Apple juice is beautiful. Pies are winners Soft mixed berry ice cream sitting in those chairs outside overlooking the valley.
Nice little place for the familly and good ice cream
Great place for family fun.
Fun place for the kids, and well can't say enough about all the goodies and apple juice. Trust me try all the pies as well.
Absolutely love this place! My little guy dropped his ice cream on the floor, they cleaned it up and gave him a new one. ALSO my little guy got his first bee sting right on the ear. I was hugging him while he was crying and before I could even ask my husband to get some ice, out came an employee with ice, after bite and a smoothie for him. We were so so impressed. Such a wonderful spot to take the family. Thanks so much guys! See you again soon.
The owner is super friendly. He talked to us and showed us pictures about his 4 generations of farming business. A great place to visit. I ate real fruit ice cream and of course apple juice drink. I love them. Could be a problem to diabetes? But I am not at this moment. So, just enjoy while I can ????
When I have to travel to Vernon for difficult family issues, I try to stop in to stock up on various jams and gift items. The items for sale are quite pricey so it's easy to ring up a significant bill - be aware of that. It's a lovely facility overall and fantastic ice cream for a treat. But...silly remarks from older male employees who pat the inside of my buggy and say things like, "Oh, looks like I'm going to get paid this time," are unprofessional and irksome.
Great variety of items. Produce is a little on the expensive side, but it is very good quality!
Its an awesome little touristy place based around a fruit and vegetable market theme. Everything you can imagine ans even some stuff you can't ( blue pumpkins). Definatley worth a visit
Good for young kids. My 10 and 12 year old are over it now. But we went since they were babies and the loved it
Fun place to stop for kids, especially considering there's no admission! There's the farm animals and a number of play structures .. I especially like the old truck buried in sand! The gift shop, produce market and selection of preserves was very nice as well. Definitely worth a visit!
Great stopping spot for a family - kids playground, petting zoo (make sure to have some quarters with you to buy food for animals from dispensers), paid train ride, fruit\pie\etc shopping.
Love the little train tour. They take you up to the orchard and you can pay to pick 10 lbs of apples. We did and the variety was amazing. I will definitely be back often. I really enjoy the atmosphere.
We just received our boxes of apples from our sons school fundraiser. I didn't know the taste of an apple could bring me such joy! I cannot even begin to describe how good these apples are. Thank you for making my taste buds dance.
Very cute little village, people are friendly and cordial. The train ride was fun and the driver information was great. We had the soup and sandwich for lunch and that part was very disappointing, the soup was supposed to be beef and veggies but basically was a tasteless cold water with very few veggies, no beef anywhere and the sandwich was just ok, very expensive for what you get. The apple juice is out of this world! and the ice cream full of fruit and creamy.
This place never disappoints. The atmosphere is so relaxing.
We were accompanied by 2 friends who use wheelchairs...the incredibly steep ramps were not wheelchair friendly and the place was so packed we couldnt park on level ground.
This whole place is adorable!! The grounds are beautifully kept, there's so much farm stuff to do with the little ones, and the store and country market are a shoppers dream. So many cool little things and gorgeous high quality decorative housewares. Omg, and the bakery!! Tarts and muffins and pies, oh my... Visit! The mini cherry pies are worth the trip alone.
Love this place! Family friendly and the staff is always nice! Come during their harvest season (October), their decorations are amazing!
I have always gone to Davidson orchards for my Halloween pumpkins and since becoming a momma I go for all the wonderful experiences I get to have with my children... I have suggested to many of my friends with children to come and enjoy all there is to offer at Davidson orchards
So much to do and see. A friend recommended I go and have a apple slurpee. It was the most delicious drink I have ever had!
Biggest pumpkins in town. Good vibes for sure.
Fresh fruits and apple juices. Beautiful place
The grocery store is very expensive but at least the pies we bought were very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. We also had ice cream and sat on a bench and enjoy the beautiful creation on nature around us. The trees and hills seemed to go on forever.
So much fun with all the activities and animals. The fresh made apple juice will ruin the stuff out of the boxes for the rest of your life
Love Davidson orchard! We visit it anytime we are in Vernon. We picked up the most beautiful pumpkins for Halloween. The vegetables and fruit is always fresh and amazing the grow it all here. I love their apple cider and pick up a few frozen ones every year. If your in the area you should make a stop even if it's just for a quick bite at the restaurant.
What a trip down memory lane - seeing goats and picking apples. Great food and amazing staff. You must do the tractor ride.
Loved this place the animals were so cute and fun to hang around. Both of my dogs loved it I'm glad they allowed our fur babies inside and the food is great
A friendly farm for lunch and tour of a wonderful place. You can buy some good apple pie and apple juice.
An awesome place for everyone in the family. Great produce, baking and nick nacks. They have a great little restaurant where you can sit and wait h your kids play in the play ground.
Great for adults and kids. Our kids didn't want to leave as there was so much to see and do. Loved the tractor tour through the orchards and the large play area behind the main buildings, and the mini pies & cheese dill scones were to die for.
My favorite place we've visited in the Okanagan! Amazing cafe with homemade apple juice and pie, a train tour through the orchard, a great little store with many samples and a play area for kids with animals in the back.
Nice place. Thought there would be more animals to see; however that was not the case. However there is a store on site offering various items - food, pastries, souvenirs etc.The farm made apple juice is excellent. The view from the farm is picturesque. It's worth a visit.
Not really impressed this time around. Small strawberries were covered with larger ones and were overripe. Got a "card" from the main area and went to the restaurant shortly after. Service was a really bad and wouldn't accept my card because she already cashed the transaction before I paid. I asked her why she didn't ask if I had a card and she said she forgot. Food was also very greasy. When I went to the counter to get my food she just pointed to the area around the corner without saying anything. No points and poor service for me equals 1 star for them.
How can one not love Davisons! Stunning location, wonderful family members and staff (so down to earth and friendly), cuddly animals to pet and feed, entertaining displays of fall goodies, and a huge Pumpkin Palace. Kids just love this place and I become one again every time I’m there. Then of course there is the food, food items, and apples, pears, and a wide variety of beautiful produce for sampling and sale. The orchard tour and picking lessons are a must do, especially if it’s your first time there. This family has really hit the bullseye on providing the atmosphere and welcoming attitude to ensure repeat visits. We’re heading back there tomorrow having eaten the apples and peanut brittle we purchased last week.
Davison Orchard offers excellent views of Vernon. Some may say everything is overpriced here, but that's because it is a local farm and tourist attraction. Support local, man. we had a coffee screamer and strawberry vanilla ice cream come. Both were delicious. Kids seem to love it here with the goats, multiple playgrounds, oversized chairs, and the fake jail cell. People love buying corn here and pies. They also have their own pumpkin patch in fall. It's really really busy here on weekends, especially late spring and early summer. We came here Tuesday afternoon and it's super peaceful. That's where it's at.
Martin sure loves Davison Orchards ! We loved the tractor ride, Than you Robert for the tour, the animals, wonderful grill cheese sandwich, chicken rice soup, and fresh cherry pie with ice cream. The gift store was amazing!
Always a great time for everyone. We love the play area, the animals and the food! Best apple juice around.
A great place to take family and friends. Go on the apple picking tour or the pumpkin picking tour. It can get really busy, but there's lots of parking.
Apple's were great the pumpkins got mold on them top and bottoms in three days. Last year the peaches had brown rot I know that some of this is hard to control but disappointed to the consumer that buys locally and transported it home to throw out. ????????
Fantastic place for family and friends. The best apples around, so many flavours. In the fall, the pumpkin patch is adorable so many pumpkin and gourds to choose from. The market is fun with knick knacks to decorate your home with. The fresh baked good are so tasty. The cafe has some tasty fresh soups and sandwhiches. A real treat to visit.
We love coming to the orchard, we travel 5 hours 3 to 4 times a year and always make time to go to davison farms.
Bring your kids here! Without a doubt a great place, with a handful of free activities. Including an awesome play area and petting zoo. Bring quarters (petting zoo food) and definitely try the apple slush! I won't even drink apple juice but after trying my daughters, I had to have one. They also have fresh fruit ice cream and frozen yogurt along with a small farmers market. Did I mention no admission fee?
Great place to take the kids. Lots of outdoor activities. Highly recommend the tractor/train tour through the orchards.
I love Davidson Orchards. I love taking my friends that are visiting up to see it, and they always find something that they need or want. Good products no complaints.
Never enough time! Such a fun atmosphere and the selection of apples is amazing. Always enjoy going and I always spend too much money ad their products are so good.
