We set out to pick fresh floral stems and pumpkins. We were greeted with so much more....The sweet playful house pup who immediately brought us an apple for a game (or 25) of catch. He made this whole experience so much sweeter for my girls! We had a blast chasing him around the gorgeous rows of vibrant flowers and filled apple trees. We could've stayed for hours playing with him alone!! We purchased mini apple cider donuts the girls gobbled down in two seconds flat. They LOVED these! $4 for a bag of a dozen, fresh and hot off the press sugary, perfectly snack sized donuts. They also offer grass fed beef, pork and chicken. We met the owner who kindly poured us samples of their delicious fresh, raw cider and showed us the original mill which is housed in their awesome, simplistic barn. (If you're traveling, remember to bring a cooler with ice as the cider is unpasteurized.) She also suggested I purchase a "Long Island Cheese pumpkin" which I had never heard of before! Have you?! She gave me instructions on how to bake it and make what she said will be the best pumpkin pie ever! (I'll keep you posted). She also gave me some local suggestions on things to do (Old Sturbridge Village, Mass) which we did and had a fantastic time! Thank you!! Prices we thought were very fair and it feels so good supporting small, hardworking business owners. This farm is on the smaller size, but it's absolutely full of that unmistakable pure New England charm and quality goods! We would come back here in a heartbeat and had a VERY memorable, awesome first trip! If you're in the area or maybe looking for a weekend escape, this fabulous farm is located in a quaint town that offers so much, yet is so far away from it all. You won't be disappointed making an entire trip out of heading this way.

Their cider is some of the best in the area - I don't know what blend of apples they use, but it works well with a nice balance of sweet and tart. While there, you might as well pick up a few pumpkins and gourds, corn stalk sheaves, and colorful Indian corn (my favorite fall decorations), and if so inclined, tromp through the corn maze. The place is wonderfully bucolic and scenic on a sunny day, and a lot of fun for the youngsters to pick out their favorite pumpkins. There used to be a herd of llamas there, but sadly, SHSH is only down to one this year. It's also nice to visit in late winter, around February, when the tree sap is running, and watch them sugar off - terrific maple syrup can be had here (and quieter in the winter with more time to chat with the proprietors). A quaint and charming old-time New England tradition.

Bring something to decorate your tree a bit so people will know it's been tagged. It doesn't need to be fancy, we used yarn. You'll need $20 deposit for your tree. The balance of $50 is due when your tree is picked up. When you return for your tree they cut it down for you and wrap it up for easy transport. You don't have to tag a tree, you can just come and get one fresh cut that same day. There are plenty of fields with different varieties and during peak season they also have cocoa as well as some other holiday items. They also offer a small selection of fresh cut trees for $40!! Best deal anywhere!! Come out to Fraser Farm and you won't be disappointed.

The apples were great quality and were delicious to eat and bake with later in the week. We parked a little far out from the entrance based on how busy it was (Sunday afternoon), but it was an easy walk. A lot of the apples that were ready to be picked and of good quality were at the top of the trees. I wish they offered ladders or picker tools to allow people to get good apples that can't be reached otherwise. Also, they had run out of apple cider donuts, which was a shame. We got some apple cider and fresh raspberries to take home, which were also both delicious. I would definitely pick our own raspberries next year if we return. We would definitely go back for a fun Fall activity each year!

This orchard as huge and has a very large selection of apples. Great varieties and I can't wait to…read morecome back in mid October when even more varieties are ready for picking and eating. I thought the layout was easy to follow and very organized. The space across the orchard was truly maximized. Rows upon rows of beautiful apples waiting to be picked. This weekend 9/15, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Gala, Liberty and McIntosh were ready for picking. My wife and I are apple feinds eating 1 or 2 a day each. We had the fridge space for cold storage so we did 1/2 bushel which hits you @ $55. We ended up getting 24.5lbs of apples which came out to $2.24/lb. Not bad for fresh off the tree. If you don't eat as many apples, it is a little on the price side because here are the prices: 1/2 bushel ($55 = admission for 5) 1 peck ($35 = admission for 3) 1/2 peck ($17.50 = admission for 1) 1/4 peck ($15.00 I think? = 1 child 10 and under) Quantity is certainly your friend here. Not an issue for us because we eat so many (enjoyed over 4 while picking em.... They were good and couldn't help myself). We also grabbed some apple cider donuts on the way out. 1/2 dozen for $11 and they're the best apple cider donuts I've ever had. They actually tasted like apple and not just straight up sugar. Heat up in the microwave for 10 seconds before enjoying and chefs kiss. Will be back here in a month! Looking forward to some fuji and evercrisp!

We went here soley for the reason it was the only place that had apples left in mid-October. Most…read moreplaces shut down picking early. Would this be my choice for an applepicking orchard in late September? Probably not. I am glad they open later in the season, even if the variety was not great the later you go ... something I won't faukt them for. When we went, it was mid/late October and the only two varieties left on the trees were small green apples, which were sweet. And what we think were McIntosh apples ... the tree labeling here truly is terrible. Sweet with a slightly tart flavour. We were bummed that there seemed to be no courtland apples for pies ... again, our fault for coming so late. The orchard itself is not what I'd call picturesque. Some of the Massachusetts orchards we've been to (Red Apple, the dreadedly crowded Honeypot, Tougas, etc.) are much more picturesque and upscale. This is kind of a field of smaller trees haphazardly laid out with a small, trailer-like farm store. The cider donuts were regrettable. They were the smaller variety of bitesize donuts ... they didn't taste much different from Entamins and when we opened the bag, which was sitting on a shelf, two wasps flew out as we dug our fingers into the bag. I'd skip the donuts here. The best part about this place is that you pay by the pound. Upon entering the orchard you are given a bag and upon exiting, you pay by weight. At most orchards for pick your own, there is only a $40 bag, which contains 10 lbs.+ of apples. That is heavy to carry, especially if you have kids who want to pick only a few pounds. I love the pay by weight because you don't need to fill a bag with more applea than you'll probably eat. We saw some people using picking poles because most of the late season apples were at the top of the trees. The apples here are much smaller than any other orchard we went to ... but they were tasty. Yes, there are a LOT of bees/wasps (yellowjackets) inside the orchard and store ... but that is pretty much anywhere. While this wasn't the type of orchard you'd see in a movie scene about applepicking, as it feels more like someone's large backyard with apple trees, it was a nice find later in the season and it wasn't so full of people that the experience was annoying, as many orchards are. If you want a smaller orchard where you can bring the kids to quickly pick a few pounds and can do without a petting zoo, restaurant, hayride and games ... this is a fun and unique spot.
