Description From Owner:

• Cricklewood Farm offers fun for the whole family. Raspberries are available from early July to early Aug and mid-Sept to mid-Oct.
• Our apple orchard is around 10 acres in size. Throughout the season, we have over 40 different varieties of apples; 13 of which are available for pick your own. The season begins with Paulared around mid-August.
• On our farm we have an experimental plot which has several new apple varieties as well as many that are still being evaluated and as of yet are identified by a code. Have some fun and try a sample -you may just find a new favourite apple.
• Every year our 6 acre corn maze changes. Over the past 6 years it has been an apple & corn cob, an elephant, a dragon, a castle, wolves, a pirate & his ship, an octopus, and a firefighter.
• Maze adventurers are challenged to solve several puzzles by collecting clues and information found in the maze. If they solve these puzzles they are rewarded with a prize. There is an admission charge to enter the maze.
• During the season we have all kinds of pumpkins; orange, striped, white, big & small. Squash include acorn/pepper, butternut, orange & green hubbard, buttercup, sweet dumpling, spaghetti, turban, grey ghost, pink banana, stripetti & blue hubbard.
• We also sell sweet corn, gourds, cornstalks, honey, homemade pies & cookies, and candy & caramel apples (on weekends).
• A picnic area and straw mountain are available for your use and enjoyment.
• School tours begin in Sept and end in mid Oct. They can be booked for Tues., Wed., & Thurs. of those weeks. All tours are walking tours.
• Group rates for the maze are available for 20 or more people and can be booked for off hours.
• Congratulations to Miriam Anderson - Brighton ON, Alexandra Hamilton - Cambridge ON, and Joshua Quick - Trenton ON. They are our winners for the draw for three Ipod Shuffles.
• In 2008 we were excited to work together with the Brighton Fire Department & theUnited Way. For the weekend of Oct 4 & 5, $500 was donated from our maze sales to the fire department, while on the 18 & 19 we were able to donate $675 to the United Way.
• Thank you to everyone for their generosity. Our community certainly appreciates it. We look forward to your return in 2009 and anyone else who would like to drop in and visit.
