🌸 Apple Blossom season is always a highlight of the year at the orchard! 🌸

These beautiful photos were captured by , a talented local photographer with 10+ years of experience creating stunning family, couple, and portrait sessions.

We’re excited to share a few images from today’s shoot and showcase the magic of blossom season. 📸✨

If you’d love photos surrounded by our apple blossoms, be sure to connect with Justin and book a session for next year’s bloom. The blossoms are only here for a short time each spring, making it a truly special opportunity.

Thank you, Justin, for another wonderful day in the orchard! 🌸🍎 DurhamRegionPhotography

We’re excited to announce that the former Watson Farms market is beginning a new chapter as Basketful Farms — Watson Location.

With deep respect for the history and legacy of the farm, we look forward to continuing its connection to the community while bringing the vision and values of Basketful Farms to this special place. We’re excited for all that’s ahead and grateful to have you be part of the journey.

🐄Can’t wait to have this available in our market again🥛

🥛 Before “high protein” and ultra-filtered milk were trends… there was our cheese milk.

At the dairy, we were making 5%+ (whole) milk first.
Rich, creamy whole milk that’s perfect for drinking, coffee, baking — and of course, cheese making. 🧀

Our cheese milk is non-homogenized, which means the cream naturally rises to the top and forms that thick cream layer so many people remember from years ago. Nothing stripped away, nothing over-processed — just real milk the way it’s meant to be.

Minimally processed, naturally rich, and as close to farm fresh and legally available in Canada as you can get. 🇨🇦🐄

And no — you do not need to boil it.
Our milk is already pasteurized, so all that’s left to do is pour yourself a glass and enjoy. 🥛✨

Shake it up or scoop the cream off the top… either way, you’ll taste the difference.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Victoria Day 🇨🇦🍓
