Double Attitude Orchard

You can help a new apple orchard and be part of making apple products from the organic apples and other garden products (depends on the season).
We need your help around the organic apple orchard. We are located 80 km from Ottawa and 120 from Montreal. On your free time you can visit either of those cities or go for bike rides ( i have bikes to lend) around the beautiful area. We have long hiking trails on the property which offer the possibility to get lost for an afternoon while exploring and discovering the local nature and wildlife, including deer and wild turkeys.
You will be rewarded by seeing how your help can change things and you will learn to value what you made:)

My spouse and I moved to rural Quebec 2014 to grow apples, make organic apple products and eventually cider. In the spring of 2016 we planted the first portion of the orchard. I am originally from Estonia and Beatrice is French Canadian and we have two young sons who go to school and daycare. We are living on 160 acres of land near the Ottawa river, between Ottawa and Montreal. We are between the villages of Papineauville and Montebello, a very popular touristic area with the biggest log structure in the world :)!

Staying at Mihkel & Beatrice was incredible, they are both so kind and generous, it felt like a home away from home, excellent place to reconnecting with nature, I enjoyed learning new skills at the apple orchard and even work there was a constant good time. Thanks!

I had the best time at the orchard. The host Bea is amazing, she's happy to learn you all about the making of the products which they sell from the appels and tomatoes and she even took the time to learn us how to make your own bread. I learned so much! It's a dream come true for people who love working with their hands and like nature. The property is a real forest where you can merge with nature and go for a walk with the dogs who are so sweet. I couldn't recommend it more, I will have some long lasting nice memories about this place :)

The stay is fine, the food and the room meets the objective, the activities in the free schedule consists of going to the 2 nearby towns, the amount of working hours are fulfilled.
The good thing was to be in some social gatherings in town and see the local activities,
The low point is that the family is not flexible, you have to coordinate activities in advance because they do not move their calendar.

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the food, accommodations, and local social gatherings. We try our best to balance our farm responsibilities with volunteer activities, which is why we need to coordinate plans in advance.

From the moment you arrived, we asked about your departure plans to ensure everything would go smoothly. Unfortunately, we found out you changed your departure date after you had already bought your plane tickets and without checking if we could accommodate that day.

In this rural area, there is no public transportation to the airport. We are happy to be flexible with your departure date but we would have preferred you validate our availability to drive you before you booked your ticket.

We appreciate your observations and will use them to improve. Best of luck in your future endeavors

The experience at Orchard Doble Actitud was very nice. Mihkel and Beatriz are very beautiful, kind, friendly, and caring people. They always made us feel comfortable and happy! They love their orchard, and it shows a lot because it is impressive and beautiful. I was able to practice my English, learn about the local culture, and learn a lot about farm life. I highly recommend it!

The orchard experience was amazing! Mihkel and Beatrice make you feel really welcome like you are part of the family. They were really kind and helpful, they offered us a lot of information about the local towns, things to do around, and the culture of the country. We learned a lot from the orchard work, sustentabilty, the importance of organic produce and farmlife. This was a really beautiful place to connect with nature, do some hiking in the woods and have beautiful activities and conversations with the family. We recommend this experience 100%!
