Things to do

Feel the vibe of small town rural Ontario through live performances and local musicians. Enjoy local musicians performing at a favourite community watering hole or support local community theatre and the arts scene in all its forms.

Spending time next to flowing water is a proven stress release. Seeking out these waterfalls and stretches of whitewater is a great way to unwind and explore some of the most beautiful corners of the Haliburton Highlands. Some of these are roadside, some are accessed by short hikes, and some are only found on a day long adventure.

The Apple Blossom Tour specials offer a seasonal selection of dishes and drinks. Enjoy a Grilled Apple Salad with marinated beets, goat cheese, maple-roasted pumpkin seeds, and mixed greens. For drinks, try the Empress Orchard Blossom, a mix of Empress Gin, lemon juice, local apple cider, and agave. Alternatively, savor the Apple Bourbon Sour, blending bourbon, lemon, spiced maple bitters, and apple cider. Indulge in the orchard flavors with these apple-themed delights.

Molly’s may be changing from a bistro to a market but that doesn’t mean they are leaving their apple recipes behind. We always have a huge selection of apple creations for you to try. We have apple pies, apple hand pies, apple compote, crab apple jelly, crab apple pepper jelly, apple-walnut buns, apple streusel muffin loaf and apple crisp. If you are having an apple craving the Molly’s Market Bakery is the only stop you need to make on the tour! 

Indulge in our Apple Crisp Funnel Cake prepared in-house with our sweet vanilla batter. This golden-fried beauty is generously topped with house-made apple cinnamon compote, harvest oat crunch, powdered sugar, whipped cream and caramel sauce.

These moist and tender Apple coffee cake muffins have a crispy streusel on top. Goes great with coffee, tea or a quick grab and go snack.

Country Bakery in Carnarvon offers many delicious apple products including turnovers, apple braids, apple dumplings, apple crisp, and of course, apple pies! Our locally famous scones have many flavours, including Granny Apple or Apple and Cheddar. We also have a wide selection of preserves and homemade goods.

Join us at Glass Eagle Studios on May 11 & 12 for this unique event. We will be baking from our own home grown apples, amazing apple cinnamon tarts topped with pecans and drizzled in our raw honey. These tarts are baked in our outdoor wood-fired oven on the grounds of a century old school house. Stroll through beautiful perennial gardens, ponds, and view stained glass art created by Tom Green and his co-op students.

Enjoy our Caramel Apple Martini during the month of May.

Join us on May 16th and 17th from 8:30am – 2pm for the Haliburton Apple Blossom Tour!
