Orchard Update

Now picking Sweet 16! These sweet apples taste like cherry, and some years they have a hint of licorice. There is a bumper crop of Cortlands - one of the best all-around apples grown in New England. We are opening up the last of the peaches - the Victoria. They are a firm freestone peach with excellent flavor. Also still picking Honeycrisp, Autumn Crisp, Gala, Blondee, Ginger Gold, Ruby McIntosh and Hosui pears.

Apple pies, pumpkin cider donut whoopie pies, vanilla cider donuts, pumpkin cider donuts and regular cider donuts on the stand all weekend.
Don't forget the fundraiser apple pie contest on Sunday for the Benson Family Days! Let's see what you've got!

Testimonials

Such a great experience compared to the tourist trap orchards that have become so common. Staff was very friendly, prices were great and the apple selection is the best I have ever seen. Crimson topaz is our new favorite!
