A Fun Fall Experience Apple Picking Outside Saint John, NB

It’s apple season! Are you looking for a fun family activity, a cute date idea, or an incredible photo shoot moment? The Bates Family Orchard is just 40 minutes outside Saint John, NB and offers an amazing experience!

Why I love this experience:


👉It’s a u-pick for apples & pumpkins
👉 There is a corn maze (new this year 2022)
👉 Cute hay bales photo opportunities (this year 2022 a bear, moose, fox, rabbit, & raccoon)

Hay set up from 2021

Important details:

  • About a 40 min drive from Saint John
  • On-site port-a-potties
  • Tons of parking
  • A bit of a walk from the parking lot to the apples
  • Apples are grown in rows close to the ground (easy to pick! Just the right height for toddlers or short people)
  • It’s a field (wear shoes that can get dirty)

Have you been apple picking this year?
