They have great donuts for sale as well. This is much more than an orchard...they have a TON of lego sets for sale. Warning for parents who bring the kids into the store....lots and lots of toys and fun things the kids WILL want something. LOL Outside there is an area for kids to play for a reasonable price - a lot of inflatable playground type things. Staff is present and helpful as needed. Place is very neatly organized, and clean and labeled with prices etc. If you are in the area - I definitely recommend stopping to check it out. There's plenty of parking - so there's no excuse not to stop LOL

We've come here for apple picking as well as recently for their fireworks event for the 4th of July…read morecelebration. They have many varieties of apples and the views are amazing however the prices are a bit high. We usually take our grandkids and it adds up very quickly. Charging what you need to charge for the apples is one thing but they also charge for the use of bounce houses. I don't know but it comes off a a bit greedy. Anyway, for the 4th of July event, while we appreciate that parking was free and was pretty organized, the quality of fireworks was a bit disappointing especially considering that they had some partnership with the town and it was for the USA's 250th.

Where else would you get a chance to frolic in the fields with tiny creatures who's just trying to enjoy some fresh produce as much you. Picking your own food is also fabulous for a cheap meal.

Oh, you can pick your own peas here too! Just remember: - June is strawberry season, - Mid-June is pea season and - July is blueberry season. Can you remember that? Sure...I knew you could ;)

Hands down the most phenomenal butcher shop in the area. Well, it may be the only one in the area…read moreunless you head east for several miles then you may come across a local butcher shop in the Manchester area. On 6/10/23, they held an open house to showcase their meats and options available to the general public. They are a butcher shop specializing in cow, pig, lamb and chicken, but they offer many other things in their freezers. The place is small, so go early when they open as you'll get first pick of the freshest meat in the refrigerator on the right side. Those are meats that were cut within the last 24 hours, vacuum sealed and placed directly into the fridge. Next to that fridge is their selection of beer jerky. Next to the meat fridge is also one containing pasta salads, homemade cretons and other sides you would typically add to your BBQ. On the left side is where you'll find the majority of their products in the freezer section. You can get anything from pork belly, bacon, fried clam strips, fish, chicken, lamb, chicken hearts, ribeyes, ground sirloin and SO much more. I didn't even scratch the surface with that list. My wife and I purchased a 1.5lb sirloin steak, 1lb of fresh lobster meat, a pound of bacon, one 0.94lb ribeye steak, a decent size ham steak, and fried clam strips (frozen). Price wise I feel they are very competitive, if not better, than local grocery stores who cut their meats on site or get them pre-cut and delivered. The quality of the sirloin was incredible. I cooked it to a perfect medium and the fat around the edges melted like butter and it was one of the most tender piece of meats my wife has ever had. Her words, not mine. She is a tough one to impress when it comes so steaks. Sorry to those local corporate grocery stores and Walmart because we are getting all our meats from here on out at Castonguay meats. The original owner and creator was on hand during the open house to welcome us. I am willing to travel to this place just to get my meats moving forward for all future BBQs.

If you want to be pleasantly surprised, pull over and stop at Castonguay Meats. They have basically…read moreevery type of meat under the sun, and the best Barbecue Sauce I've had in Maine yet. Everything I've been able to try from Castonguay has been top tier! They also slaughter beef, pork, and lamb, and make Meat Package deals. Not like I've had to do any of that but maybe someday.
