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.
80+ apple varieties

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.
