    We had a great time apple picking! We came on a school holiday and it wasn't too crowded. We did the hayride, hedge maze, saw animals, and ate donuts. We also picked apples. $25 for the smaller bag and we got plenty! Love how they have ladders set up. We got a lot of honey crisp. Fun experience with so much to do!

    My family and I come apple picking every year. It's an incredible tradition that we have kept going. We love to park in the lot across the street from the store. It gets busy so we try to go when they first open so we can secure parking and not wait in the long line for donuts at the end. They have bathrooms as well as port-o-potties. This is helpful for small kids. The apple picking bags are cash only. We can pick apples and pears in the same bag, which is the true gem. I don't know if another farm that gives you the option. The staff are all helpful and nice if you have questions. We love their honey crisp apples and their fresh apple cider donuts. They always have plenty of apples no matter when we have come. Their farm store carries tons of products. We always get apple cider as well. They have an area for pumpkins and several farm animals. We haven't done their corn maze or their hay rides but it looks like fun. All in all it's a nice family friendly place with so much to do.

    Go early! Came here for a few years now and was lucky to get parking at lot A every time. Be sure to arrive by 9am. Nobody at store, line for cider or cider donuts, plenty of apples, etc. Usually out of there by noon before the crowds. Made a mistake by arriving an hour later this year and what a mess. 45 mins to get cider donuts, almost an hour to leave the parking lot, 30 mins for toilet. Staff need to re train on re directing traffic. Nobody in our lot was able to leave while the other lanes were constantly moving. Honeycrips were available second week of Oct this year. Plentiful of harrow sweet pears. Never tried? You must next year. It's like a hybrid of pear and apple $5 for the monster maze and it probably takes an hour to find your way out. $2 for hayrides. Bring food if you don't want to wait for burnt hot dogs or burgers Nice orchards. The trees are super tall unlike others. It's huge and plenty of apple and pear options for everyone. I even saw wild turkeys roaming around. It's not their fault that some areas are muddy. Just wear proper shoes. No dogs allowed and cash only. They do have atms. Buy a small bag for $25 and will cover admission for three people. Large is $38 (admission for 5 folks)

    Charging for the hayride ? Meh Trekking a quarter mile to the first available apples? Meh No handicap parking ? Meh $38 for a bushel of apples we should get a better experience IMO.

    This is a really fun and quintessentially fall place to visit. Parking was easy, and our first stop was the line to order fresh apple cider donuts. The donuts were delicious and fresh, and a little bit warm. We got a bag with a half dozen so we could take some donuts home, and they continued to stay delicious and soft for a few days after. Highly recommend microwaving them for a few seconds if you bring any home. The donut window also sold caramel apples that looked tasty. We then stopped inside of the store that sold pre picked apples, other apple products, maple items, etc. I got a small bottle of fresh pressed apple cider that was super fresh and tasty. Our last stop was walking around the property to see the different farm animals. We only did a small portion of what this place offers and we had a great time. You could bring kids or adults here, and I think all ages would have a great time and be able to find things that interest them. One thing to note, you have to spend a minimum of $5 to use a credit or debit card so it would be a good idea to have some cash on hand.

    This will be the third year I've come to Honey Pot for apple picking! They have everything you need for a fun day filled with fall activities. Plenty of apple trees with ladders for apple picking and they also have other fruits like pears and blueberries. Lots of other activities like an area with different animals to feed and pet, mazes, hay rides, and a hard cider tent with live music. They have a food stand with some burgers and hamburgers - I do wish they had more options. However, the apple cider donuts and apple cider make up for it!

    Best value for large families looking for apple picking. $38 gets you a huge bag and admission for 5 people. Cash only but ATMs on site. There were also an amazing variety of apples avail end for end of Sep. Food: not listed on their website but there is a grill that offers hot dogs and hamburgers so lunch. Cider donuts are $1 a pop are hot and fresh and melt in your mouth. You can get an entire pie for $18. The line is long but moves fast. Hard cider tent for adults overlooking the pond that is available from 12-4 weekend. Activities: A wonderful scenic hay ride around the entire farm with unlimited stops is only $2. The hedge maze is a legit and great for adults and older kids. Parking: plenty of free parking. They can handle crowds on a busy day

    Went early to avoid the busiest time of the day. 4 of us needed a $38 bag. Well worth the family experience! Be ready to do a lot of walking! Big orchard!

    ** Cash Only Entry** Farm store and donuts accept card Came here two weekends ago when we thought it would be the last day 70°F out on a weekend in October and wanted to be outside and my friend said she's never been apple picking in MA before so we came here. It was $22 for the 10lb bag and granted entry for 3 which was reasonable. It was very crowded so it seemed like minds thought alike to be outdoors on probably the last nice day before it gets cold. The orchard that is in the vicinity of the entrance was a lot more crowded and barely any apples than the area across the road. There were lots of apples to pick on the other side especially the farther you walked away from the entrance. We were able to pick: McIntosh, Empire, Macoun, Cortland. There were 2 or 3 more varieties as well but I don't remember the names. There was a really long line for the farm store and donuts. But if you're with a group splitting up helps and the lines move at a decent rate. We got apple cider donuts. Comes as a standard bag of 6 for $5. They were so good. Hot and soft that it was crumbling in my fingers I had to eat it fast. We also got a bottle of cider for $4. Very nice and refreshing.

    Don't recommend coming here in the winter. The animals were super cute and all, but without foliage, my friend and I were pretty bored. The "freshly baked cider donut" we got for $1 wasn't good either, and honestly did not taste freshly baked. Glad we only got one as opposed to an entire box. I will say though- the bathrooms are heated and super clean which is not common to come across in farms!

    We got there on October 31 (Halloween) as they opened. We felt like we had the whole orchard to ourselves. We walked all the way to the back to find the evercrisp apples! Along the way were apple trees of all kinds and GORGEOUS BREATHTAKING scenery! We fell in love with New England at this orchard! The weather was cool so we wore flannels over a t shirt. As the sun came up and it got warmer we tied our flannels around our waist. Check the weather forecast before you go and dress accordingly. I was told that the weekends get ridiculously crowded so try going during the week. We bought a large bag for apples because it was on sale for $19 that day (normally $40). You're able to sample apples from any tree and you can throw them under the tree if you don't like one. We filled our bag with apples and it was pretty heavy to hug back. The trails are not paved and are not handicap accessible which was the only thing I did not like. After walking back, we stopped at the store to buy souvenirs. I got some apple crisp mix, cider, postcards, and sugar cinnamon apple cider doughnuts! My boyfriend purchased a spice mix to add to hot cider for Thanksgiving and Christmas. There were lots of fresh apples, squash, pears, jams, jellies, apple butter, apple salsa, and apple pies for sale as well. Outside there was a free pumpkin patch, farm animals which were free to pet and a hay ride for $2. When we drove back to Boston, we drove through Cambridge and stopped to check out Harvard. All in all it was a lovely, unforgettable day trip!!! I would absolutely recommend taking a family outing to the Honeypot Hill apple orchard.

    The foliage was gorgeous here! There were several different types of apples available: Macintosh, Empire, and Iona Gold (the ones I picked). They even have ladders to help you get the apples from the very top, but there were plenty in arms length so don't worry about having to climb if you don't want to. They have a maze and hayrides if you want to do more than just apple picking. The apple cider donuts and apple cider were so tasty, I highly recommend you try some if you do come here Overall, really good time!

    I was looking for a quieter orchard tucked away from the crowds (and yes, I realize that such a…read morething at the height of the season is nonexistent) but Carver Hill actually fit the bill. From Boston, it's a scenic drive out to Stow. I couldn't stop gushing over the foliage on the way there - I've turned into a total leaf peeper. Carver Hill is absolutely stunning in the fall, definitely worth a trip. Pleasantly surprised to find the lot half-empty when we arrived on the later side of a Saturday but then it filled up by the time we left around 3. To your right, as soon as you drive in, you'll see an area with pumpkins and the farm store - this is also where you get PYO fruit/veggies if you're paying with credit. If you have cash on hand, you can pay for a bag at the little stand right in front of the orchard. A peck (the smaller bag) was $25. I was a little skeptical at the size but it's a good deal if you really pack your apples in there. From there, the apple orchard. Not the biggest I've been to and the selection was understandably limited. We missed the sign to download the QR code for a map of the orchard and so had to rely on a photo of a thin pole with all the names/colors wrapped around it. Don't forget to stop at the store before you leave. I grabbed some pumpkin pie, jam, and an apple cider donut - they also have apple cider slushies and multiple flavors of ice cream. The donut was THE BEST, made fresh, almost falling apart, thick and generous coating of cinnamon and sugar (also tasted nutmeg and allspice in the coating). Absolutely worth waiting in the line for, but make sure to pay first and get a little yellow receipt/tag from the register before you get in line for the donuts.

    I came to Carver Hill Orchards on a Sunday and there weren't too many people there. I've heard some…read moreof the nearby orchards like Honey Pot are much busier.

As the name indicates, it is a…read morefarm; they have a farm stand with a lot of fresh produce and goodies, a greenhouse, and what I considered the main event: a flower (cutting) garden. I had no idea that cut/pick your own flowers was a thing, and I absolutely LOVE it - it is brilliant. The flower garden is a 2-acre field filled with a variety of beautiful flowers - very picturesque. These are, as I call them, the bougie, boutique flowers - i.e., not your average and not what you will find at the store. The field is easy to find, located to the right front of the property, so you do not have to go very far. They have a great system in place, both for the flowers and the cutting experience. There is a check-in stand specific to the flower garden at the entrance of the field that you cannot miss. There are two options for your picking size and price: a mason jar for $18.82 or a basket for $75 (2026 prices). They also offer a membership for the season that covers a mason jar pick each week. If I lived a little closer, it is safe to say I would absolutely invest in the membership. If you have the membership, you bring your mason jar back each week and check in at the stand. If you are there without the membership, they will give you a mason jar at check-in. They put some water in the mason jar for you so the flowers can stay hydrated as you pick. (I have since gone to another PYO flower garden, and they did not do mason jars or a container with water, so I think it's worth mentioning as it definitely makes a difference). When you check in, they will also provide you with the snips, and then give you any instructions or information. They also have a key holder/system in place - I am not sure if it is mandatory to leave your keys with them or not, but if you do, they will give you a number tag for when you are done. The field is pretty easy to navigate. The flowers are grown in long rows, and there is some signage indicating the type. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty. If it is a sunny/hot day, you will want to bring a water bottle, as it can get very hot. Now, the flowers - they are absolutely gorgeous. You have free rein and can pick as you wish. They do have some limits on certain flowers - for example, 5 stems for the dahlias, 3 stems for the eucalyptus, and similar for the hydrangeas - but there are plenty to choose from, so it is not limiting. You really will be amazed by how much you can fit in the mason jar. It was really fun to explore and check out all of the beautiful flowers. It is also really neat to see how other people build their bouquets. You can tell that some people have a vision and a plan, while others (like me) just go for it. All of them are beautiful, and you really cannot go wrong. I absolutely loved mine, and again, I was amazed at how many I was able to get in the mason jar - I put quite the mixture and they blended so beautifully. It was like a few bouquets in one. It really is a great experience, and the smile comes home with you every time you look at the beautiful flowers. I definitely recommend it and cannot wait to come back to do it again. When we finished with the flowers, we did check out the farm stand. It was towards the end of the day, so the options were dwindling (either because they were out or had been put away), but what we did see looked great and of high quality. Some prices seemed a little on the high side, in my opinion, but you are getting local, freshly grown, good-quality items. We got some peaches, a watermelon, and a bag of the apple cider donuts. I couldn't believe the size of the peaches - they were HUGE - like softball-sized. They were some of the best peaches I have had, and the watermelon was closer to how they used to be.

I joined a friend on a hot and humid summer morning to indulge in the fun of unlimited time in the fields/rows of flowers. It's as simple as trading your keys for the loan of a set of "snips" and walk the fields, cutting what looks good to you and creating bouquets as you go. For $20 you can fill a mason jar, or for $75, you can have a basket that hooks over your arms to fill with as many stems as you can! There are limits to certain varieties- like only 5 dahlias, please. The rows are very obviously and carefully marked with any restrictions. I filled my jar with enough flowers to create two arrangements once I got home! I made the rookie mistake of trying to trim and arrange as I was picking- I won't do that again bc it limits creativity once you're home. Frejulian's offers a subscription to the farm so you can visit every week for new bouquets! This runs July-October. Frejulian's also has a robust fruit and veggie stand. The produce was more expensive than the grocery store but looked beautiful. I was not in the market for food today. The only negatives to the experience are choosing how to create your bouquet out of the multitudes of choices and while the bees are certainly needed for the pollination of these beauties, there are a lot. The friend I was with had been stung last week and was nervous about any repeat experiences. I will most definitely be back- this is a fun addiction!!

The main paths have large gravel rocks that were loose and uneven and a grass strip in the middle. It was a bit hard to push through even with our stroller with large wheels. The tractors that occasioned through blew the dust up around the paths too. There were plenty of porta potties and I also liked they have a hand washing station too.

From what I could tell, there are larger orchards in the area but Shelburne seemed to have everything you need - a food truck (with an excellent burger and pulled pork sandwich), a hard cider place, the aforementioned apple cider donuts, and a little general store selling jams and whatnot. At first glance, there didn't appear to be a ton of seating but if you walk a bit further up the hill, past the grassy patch, there's a good amount of benches and tables. Apple cider donuts review: 4/5? Not as fresh or as warm as I've sampled at other orchards but these had a healthy dusting of cinnamon sugar and a great chew. Downing two of these bad boys was not a great decision for the ride back (plus I had a cheeseburger). Cheeseburger: 4.5/5. Just a bun, patty, cheese, ketchup but listen, this was one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in a while. The bun was perfectly buttered and toasted and there was just the right ratio of meat to bread to condiments. I felt really, really food-drugged after eating this and the donuts. All the burger needed was some pickles. The only thing I didn't love about the layout is the area with the food truck had only three or four tables (no chairs) and faced the row of Porta Potties but I get that space is at a premium. There was also a sizable hill to get from the food truck to the area with tables/benches/donuts, which made walking in cycling shoes an enormous pain, though that's a me-problem.
