Located in Compton, the La Pommalbonne orchard stands out for its family atmosphere. Several entertaining outdoor activities: pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, petting zoo with more than 12 animals, observatory tower with the Coaticook Valley as a backdrop, inflatable games, tractor tours, and more. Our online boutique with homemade and local products is available year-round with delivery service. In season, as of the end of July, when the boutique opens its doors to the public, La Pommalbonne offers much more than a magnificent orchard. It’s the ideal place as a rest area to spend a few hours of fun. You will find everything to delight young and old!
