Pick your own

Pick the orchard yourself,
at the foot of the mountain.

Six seasons to wander, basket in hand. We point you to the row on arrival, with a taste along the way.

Pick-your-own at Verger Charbonneau

Simple gesture

A basket, a row,
the whole afternoon.

Stop by the welcome counter, we hand you a basket and point to the row of the day based on ripeness. Then we let you wander the rows as long as you like.

On your way back, you place the basket on the scale. You pay for what you pick, no surprise. A good pie waits at the café-bistro for those rescued from the rows.

Step by step on site

A half-day.

  1. On arrival

    We welcome you.

    A basket in hand, a map of the orchard, a moment to chat. We introduce the fruit in season and guide you to the rows where the picking is best.

  2. In the orchard

    We pick at shoulder height.

    A simple gesture, no pulling. We taste an apple along the way, we stop to listen to the birds. The kids run through the rows.

  3. Back at the start

    We enjoy, then we sit down.

    The café-bistro is right next door for a slice of pie before heading home.
