“A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”

Walden, Henry David Thoreau

Escape to nature in the Middle Atlas of Morocco. Experience the harvest of our orchard fruits. Stay a while.

Forest Lake Orchards is a family run orchard business in Dayet Aoua, Province of Ifrane, Morocco. Located in the beautiful Middle Atlas mountains, we invite visitors to experience nature and orchard life.

We offer seasonal activities, comfortable stays, and our very own farm products, all built on our family story of planting and harvesting.

Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or curious about life in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco, Forest Lake Orchards welcomes you to experience the beauty of our orchard.

Our Story

Our passion lies in the earth and we wanted to share this with our children. They have grown up knowing the value of produce (and water!) and the joy of getting their hands dirty while planting and harvesting. Our farm and orchard are family run and operated. In the beginning, when the trees were still young, we went apple picking for our son's birthday. Each year, we would indulge in everything from Apple Cake to Apple Chutney. Now that both the children and trees are older, we would like to share the joys of apple picking with you and your family!
