Looking for a fun place to go on a date and get some delicious sweets too? Ontario Orchards has a bakery located on the grounds too! The bakery sells pies, yummy donuts and delicious homemade breads. A beautiful fall day, fun hay rides, apple picking, plus desert: Sounds like the perfect date to me! Be sure to make your way out to Ontario Orchards before the cold weather really hits!
