The Apple Pie Trail loops through Beaver Valley orchards, ciders, bakeries, and farm-gate stops, anchored at apple harvest in late summer and fall. Inside Grey Highlands the route passes through Markdale, Flesherton, Eugenia, and Kimberley, with seasonal farmers' markets in the village cores and Grey County Road 13 carrying the driving spine.
The brief.
The Apple Pie Trail is a curated multi-stop route mapped by Grey County Tourism — participating orchards, bakeries, ciders, and farm stops are listed on the official site, with hours that shift around the harvest window in late August through October. Many stops are seasonal; calling ahead in shoulder months is worth the call.
Markdale and Flesherton hold the larger village downtown cores; Eugenia is small and tied to the lake and falls; Kimberley anchors the Beaver Valley turn. Combine the loop with a Bruce Trail outlook stop or a fall-colour drive on Grey County Road 13.
