Welcome
A warm welcome to Prairie Sky Orchard, a small family-run business celebrating over 20 years of bringing your family the delights of the autumn harvest.

Earlier this spring we enjoyed the warmer temperatures right along with the rest of you. However, this caused the apple trees to blossom a month earlier than normal. Unfortunately, the early spring was also followed by six heavy frosts which destroyed most of the apple producing blossoms.

Sadly, U-Pick apples were NOT available this year. As a result, we were only open on weekends in September and October. We are now closed for the 2012 season.

After 20 years of being open, this is a first for us to have such a devastating and poor crop. Thanks to all of our wonderful customers who came and supported us through this tough year. You are a blessing! See you in 2013!
