Spring is finally in the air in Laval. It’s that time of year when the [...]
The start of fall heralds the return of cool days, light scarves, and vibrant colors that transform the landscape. It’s also the perfect time for an outdoor outing that combines fun, good food, and nature: pick-your-own. In Laval, several farms and orchards open their doors to extend the magic of summer and celebrate the arrival of fall. Crisp apples, colorful squash, and playful pumpkins: the basket fills up with every new discovery and every smile.
Embracing autumn
At the Ferme Forget, fall is on full display. Orange pumpkins carpet the fields, transforming the landscape into a vast rural painting. Between the rows, visitors have fun picking out the roundest, most unique, or largest pumpkin, already thinking of Halloween or the comforting soup it will inspire. Families laugh in front of an overflowing cart, while children struggle to lift their pumpkins like treasures. We leave with our arms full and our hearts light, captivated by the spirit of fall.

Getting lost in the middle of the fields
At the Marineau Farm, fall unfolds in a gourmet palette. The stalls overflow with squash in surprising shapes, plump pumpkins, and freshly harvested root vegetables. You pause before every color and texture, already imagining a creamy soup, a velvety purée, or a family-style gratin. The scents of the earth and the harvest spark culinary creativity, and every basket becomes an invitation to bring autumn right into your kitchen. Here, pick-your-own is all about comfort and homemade inspiration. Learn more.
Marvel at the colors of the season
At Gibouleau Orchard, the apple reigns supreme. The trees are bursting with fruit, from the bright red McIntosh to the tender flesh of the Cortland. The crisp September air is scented with slightly tart notes, and we move slowly between the rows, tasting on the right, comparing on the left. Bursts of laughter echo beneath the golden foliage, bags grow heavier, and impromptu photos capture the simple beauty of the moment. Here, every bite tells the story of fall, and every visit becomes a memory to savor. Learn more.
Harvest season
At the Vaillancourt Farm, the atmosphere is just as charming as the harvest. The fields glow with the orange hues of the pumpkins, creating a scene worthy of an autumn festival. The sound of wheelbarrows echoes down the paths, boots sink slightly into the damp earth, and everyone leaves with “their” pumpkin: the perfect one for the front porch, the quirkiest one to decorate the table, or the biggest one to turn into a Halloween lantern. More than just a harvest, it’s a seasonal ritual that brings people together and makes you want to come back year after year. Learn more.
