Welcome to the beautiful Annapolis Valley....... Be sure to enjoy all the Valley has to offer.
One spot you will not want to miss is Oaklawn Farm Zoo in Aylesford. This is a must for everyone but especially for families with grandparent and children. Be sure to bring your camera.
A short drive from Aylesford to Morden and check out some local history at the French Cross. A nice picnic area is located near the monument and there is a stairway down to the beach. A wonderful spot to sit and view the high tides of the Bay of Fundy-especially on a warm day.
Not far from Morden in Dempsey Corner there is a delightful family farm operation known as Dempsey Corner Orchards. This has something for everyone! From a tea room, to a petting zoo, and a craft loft this is an ideal place to take the kids. There is also an Earth Station, U Plant Pizza, bee hives, and so much more. Very educational and enjoyable for all ages.
They also grow strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums, pears, apples, pumpkins, squash, blackberries, raspberries grapes and of course corn cobs!
If it's crafts you want o check out, Wheatons in Weston on the Shaw road will certainly keep you shopping. Sandra's Country Treasures at the Berwick corner is a great shop as well. SO is Grampie's Barn in Kingston.
When shopping the Valley, please remember to check out the Farm Markets as well....BUY LOCAL!
Ther are many other interesting spots to visit but I will give you all the details in my next letter. Until then - Have a great summer and play safe.
