Get your baskets ready- it’s apple season in New England!
From apple cider doughnuts to hot apple cider, this is one of our favorite times of the year.
While every apple picking experience can be special, here are a few of our local New England favorites to take the family:
Honey Pot Hill Orchards
138 Sudbury Rd, Stow, MA
Although the apple picking is the main activity, enjoying the apple cider doughnuts is why we make the trip. Navigating mazes, petting farm animals, and classic hay rides are just a few more examples of fun activities at Honey Pot Hill. Don’t be surprised if you wait in line during the peak of the season to get your hands on one, but we promise it’s worth the wait!
Alyson’s Orchard
57 Alyson’s Lane, Walpole, NH
We love Alyson’s Orchard for the view and the awesome variety of fruit to be picked. In addition to apples, they also grow peaches, plums, pears, nectarines, blueberries, raspberries, and quince. Above and beyond the abundant fruits Alyson’s is a destination where you can stay the night in a classic New England Lodge or Farmhouse.
Gould Hill Farm
656 Gould Hill Rd, Contoocook NH
This is one of the most beautiful views we’ve experienced at an orchard. Don’t be surprised if you end up spending the whole day, so don’t forget a few folding chairs or a picnic blanket to make it easy.
Don’t forget apple season is also peak time for adult deer tick season. Perform tick checks after being outdoors, and request a free consultation from our team if you or your pets are picking up ticks from around your home.
