The île Saint-Bernard orchard offers nearly fifteen varieties of certified organic apples for pick-your-own use! Visitors are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags or purchase cloth bags on site.
A one-of-a-kind organic orchard!
A regional natural and cultural heritage site, île Saint-Bernard was inhabited between 1765 and 2011 by the Grey Nuns, a religious congregation founded by Marguerite D’Youville. Under the motto “protect life in all its forms,” these nuns established an orchard and a small dairy farm, among other things. Since then, the Saint-Bernard Island orchard has been certified organic by Ecocert Canada, and rigorous work procedures have been implemented to ensure the growth of the trees and the quality of their fruit.

Over the past months, meticulous work has been done to ensure proper apple tree growth and great fruit quality. Rather than using chemicals, more “natural” methods are being applied and have resulted in exceptional yields in the orchard. An agronomist specialized in organic farming is lending her expertise to the team during this undertaking.
