Pineapple plant, anyone?
Why wouldn’t a market in apple orchard country sell a pineapple plant? And they all looked thriving to me, for sure.
Ready for a lot of things
Ontario Orchards places its crafts in a special section out back. I can tell folks took time and care to make these items. Here they are ready for Halloween. They are ready to give thanks. And the scarecrow stands guard over the plants.
