Nothing says summer quite like biting into a juicy, tree-ripened Ontario peach. From late July through early September, orchards across Southern Ontario open their gates for pick-your-own peach season, giving families the chance to spend a day outdoors while stocking up on one of summer’s sweetest treats. Whether you’re planning a day trip to Niagara, Elgin County or beyond, these peach farms offer fresh fruit, farm markets and plenty of family-friendly fun. Be sure to check each farm’s website or social media before visiting, as picking dates and availability depend on the weather and harvest conditions.
