Ontario Orchards

Ontario Orchards is a home favorite for fresh, local produce, store-​made baked goods (cider donuts, anyone?), fudge, fresh cheese curds, and even old fashioned candy. My grandparents had two large vegetable gardens and my grandma was raised on a local farm, but they too came to O.O. for the vast array of locally-​grown fruits.
In the back of the store is an entire area devoted to landscaping and home decorations. They make wreaths of your choice for indoor or outdoor use and there’s even beer and wine-​making kits. In winter, this is the place to get a Christmas Tree.
Prices are extremely reasonable. The Ouellette family has kept prices low, with quality high. I do wish they carried organic produce, but the local farms would need to go organic for that to happen. It’s always best to support local farms whenever possible.
A trip home is not complete without coming here.

This is the way an orchard should be. Everything they sell seems to be locally sourced, if not it is made/​grown on the farm.
Bought an assortment of goodies. Every excited to try the elk and wild boar meat I bought. First place I’ve found that sells these types of meats consistently.
Will be back many times!

Ontario Orchards is one of the places in Oswego that made me not hate the actual school part as much when I reflect back on my four years there. It was the place I looked forward to going to with friends throughout the school year and during the fall with my family when they came to visit. They have an awesome selection of reasonably priced pumpkins during the fall season and some of the best desserts for when you need to make a quick stop before meeting the significant other’s family! They have delicious donuts and muffins, always was a fan of their apple pie too. They have so many goodies; chocolate covered these and yogurt covered that. Their apple cider is delicious and their produce isn’t bad at all. Their mums are beautiful in the fall, just make sure you don’t wear your good shoes here because the ground is awfully muddy. They are open year round, have great gift baskets for the holidays and the perfect pit stop when entertaining. It contributes a charm to Oswego that it is DESPERATE for.

I was craving Apple Cider Donuts when we happened upon Ontario Orchards. What a find! We walked through all the aisles and were charmed by all they had to offer. Wound up spending ALOT more than we had intended, with no regrets. They have a huge selection of produce seasonal and otherwise. There were baked goods, dried fruits/​veg… jams, preserves, seasonal goodies an a complete nursery. Its worth the stop.

Cute place with a huge floral and produce selection. Local made honey, syrups, beers, baked goods, and candles. As well as merchandise such as wine and beer making kits, pet goods, and flower pots. There was this super cute pineapple plant that I loved and a lot of unique hanging indoor plants. I always like the indoor hanging plants more than the outdoor!

I LOVE this place! The muffins (many have a cream cheese filling that is to-​die-​for amazing) are out of this world! So much so that I’m not even sure how much they cost because I literally don’t care. Priority is buy-​eat. I ordered several dozen for our dessert style wedding reception several years ago and STILL have friends and family request we bring them to events– THAT GOOD. Personally, I love the banana chocolate chip or double chocolate with cream cheese filling.
Of course, they have the usual– baked pies, breads, cider, great prices on seasonal fruits, veggies, flowers…
Deni says: Buy the muffins!

Very disappointed. Visited this store less than 2 yrs ago and remember being ‘wowed’ at all the good stuff and excellent prices. Just went back again (and drove 1.5 hrs to get there) and prices went up considerably and selection was not as good as it was in past. I’d only go back for the apple syrup which still seems like a good deal but oly if it were on my way. Never again will I go out of my way to go.

I’m a big fan of Ontario Orchards. It’s a great place to get local produce. I miss them at the Oswego City Farmers Market. It’s worth the trip to head out to Ontario Orchards.
Besides the fruit and veggies, they also have homemade pies and pastries which are just amazing!

Ontario Orchards is one of the best things about Oswego. This place is like a farm stand that you may drive past in the summer, only much larger. They carry a wide variety of locally grown fresh produce, fruits, basic grocery stuff, and all kinds of locally made gifts. They also have a large on-​site bakery and make great pies, cookies, and breads every day.
Outside they have a complete nursery — my family buys must of their flowers and gardening supplies here each Spring. We’ve purchased trees from the Orchards because they carry a one year warranty on all of their trees and shrubs. They’ll deliver soil and mulch to your house by the square yard, too.
I worked on the Ontario Orchards farm one summer, so I can confirm that much of the fruits and veggies they sell are very fresh and grown locally. They also grow most of their own Christmas trees, so they’ve got just about anything you need for all seasons. This place is owned and operated by locals, so it feels quite a bit better than shopping at some of the big box home improvement stores than have opened in the area recently!
