Welcome to Maitside Orchards!

Nestled on the banks of the Maitland River next to the charming town of Brussels Ontario.

Our thriving orchard and farm store has become a well-known local source of fresh produce, artisan foods, home-baked goods, and more.

Maitside Orchards is owned and operated by Davin Lichty, a budding young orchardist.

The farm store features a flourishing variety of apples and apple products...

Apple cider is freshly pressed on the farm using a unique blend of apples for a rich full flavor. Fresh  pies  are baked weekly. New tree plantings are added to the orchard every year, bringing new varieties and exciting flavors to satisfy your tastes.

"We would love to have you come visit our country farm store!"
