From orchard rows to cider pours

Fresh fruit, handcrafted cider, and a warm farm welcome.

Vista Bella Farm is a first-generation family farm in Malagash Centre, Nova Scotia, growing apples, pears, plums, tomatoes, potatoes, and more, with a cidery experience built around the fruit we raise here.

What makes the farm special

Rooted in real fruit, local flavour, and a sense of place.

We built Vista Bella Farm around the idea that a farm visit should feel both grounded and memorable. That means orchard fruit chosen for real flavour, cider that reflects the character of the season, and a setting that invites people to slow down and enjoy where they are.

Whether you’re coming for a tasting, looking for hard-to-find apple varieties, or planning a family day in the orchard, the experience stays simple: good fruit, honest farming, and welcoming people.

Visit details

Tatamagouche Bay views, orchard walks, and tasting-room weekends.

Come for a relaxed orchard visit, stay for the view, and leave with fruit, cider, and a few favourite discoveries from the farm store.

The orchard

Fruit with character

We grow a wide mix of apples and other fruit, including heritage and harder-to-find varieties that stand out for fresh eating, baking, and cider making.

The cidery

Bloom to bottle

Our cider program starts in the orchard. We press with flavour in mind and build small batches that feel rooted in the fruit and the season.

The visit

Relaxed, family-friendly, memorable

Vista Bella Farm is made for orchard strolls, tastings with friends, and family outings where everyone can find something worth bringing home.
