It is one of the five great lakes of North America. The north half of the lake is bordered by Ontario, Canada and the southern part of the lake is in New York, USA with the border somewhere in the middle of the lake.
Our drive today had us heading west, along the bottom of Lake Ontario with our final destination to stay at a Harvest Host; the Ontario Orchards Farm and Market. The market itself was packed with amazing local fruit and vegetables and amazing home baked apple products. The apple pie won out over some other amazing home baked goodies. Now, the actual farm was a few miles up the road and we actually got to camp in the middle of the apple orchard, a pumpkin patch , the corn field and a Christmas tree farm. It definitely made you think of the holiday season with all the produce and the perfectly shaped Christmas trees.
The only thing that seemed a little odd was being at the Ontario Orchards, in New York, USA, but not being in the province of Ontario. After living 30 years in province of Ontario, one becomes narrow minded to the fact that not all things with the name Ontario come from Canada. I mean really; Lake Ontario is huge and is one of the five great lakes in North America after all. The fact alone that we did not have cell coverage because we were in the states should have been the first clue. For anyone travelling in the area, I would highly recommend the Ontario Orchards Farm Market in Oswego, NY as a place to shop and stop.
