This was possibly one of the first places I found when looking for family things to do on the weekends. Quinn farm is a family-run farm that grows a variety of vegetables and fruit, some of which are available for the public to come and pick straight from the plant, for a small fee. They also have a selection of rare animals in their barn and a fun kid's playground, with hay bale cubbyhouses, giant pipe slide, corn maze and even a small tricycle circuit.
Different fruits and vegetables are available for picking by season and when we went they had blueberries and apples. In October though, they have pumpkins and even Christmas trees in November/December. We decided to do both apples and blueberries, and it was great fun. The best thing about it all was getting to eat the apples and blueberries as you were picking! Nothing like a juicy red apple fresh from the tree to keep you going! I have to say, we did end up with apples and blueberries coming out our ears! Lots of muffins and pies in the making!

How to get there
The best way of getting there is by car. It takes about 45 minutes from Montreal's downtown depending on traffic. Detailed directions are given on their website: http://www.quinnfarm.qc.ca/
